Just thought I'd start a new thread, general chit chat, moaning, skipping etc before I go to work and incase the other one fills up.

Good for you LNM - I love a good snog! Enjoy it. So good to hear that he respected you for being too pissed! He could easily have taken advantage of you!

I had swimming lessons this morning - well not me, DS did but I had to take him and it was hot and I got the hangover sweats. It was nasty. Do feel for you!

Cheesecake was amazing ... And very simple!

100g butter
200g choc digestives

Bash biscuits and mix with melted butter. Put in bottom of dish

300g cream cheese
200g whipped cream
200g toblerone

Give cheese a good stir till nice and smooth. Add whipped cream. Stir in melted toblerone and put on top of biscuits. Chill. Drink glass of wine. Open fridge and cut yourself a good old slice. Chill - with wine and cheeeeeeesecake!!!! Yum! Enjoy!

Lazarus, if I had my way I would have! Apparently I was pretty keen Blush I probably won't hear from him again...his email was cringe but he is a nice guy.

I wish I could get out of swimming but I did promise. I've offered the cinema instead but they're having none of it!

LNM - good for you! Still glad he didn't take advantage of you though. I hope you can remember some of the good bits Grin

Thank you for the recipe, imtheonlyone. Should go some way to cheering him up a bit...sounds delicious to me!

Fairenuff · 26/05/2013 14:30

Cheesecake sounds lush. Going to see if ds would like to make one this afternoon.

Then I'd better get skipping!

imtheonlyone · 26/05/2013 16:01

Just typed out a message and it appears to have lost it!! Cheesecake is proper gorgeous! But skipping is probably recommended afterwards - although I would wait till tomorrow Wink

Hope the handover is passing LNM - how did you leave it with ex colleague? Your story has made me smile!

I've decided to ignore the housework completely today - apart from the loads of washing on the line! I've just poured myself a pimms and sitting in the garden reading a book Shock It's been years since I read a book for pleasure Wink

CabbageLeaves · 26/05/2013 18:47

Good for you LNM! Snogging whahay Grin

I'm in a cottage in Cornwall. £300 for the week (my share of 3 family cottage). Hot day on the coast path, beach, roast and a raspberry baked cheesecake... About to walk the dog to the village and back and then board games with DD and early night.

When If it rains, the week might get slightly less idyllic

CabbageLeaves · 26/05/2013 18:51

I have a book on the go imtheonlyone. Unusual for me as well. I love reading but am often too tired or busy.

I love cooking so this sort of break suits me. The main flaw is entertaining DD. She likes constant attention which can be hard work and I feel guilty letting the others entertain because their DC are not so needy (older)

Areyoumadorisitme · 26/05/2013 19:10

Pleased to see you had fun last night! Grin

PyroclasticFlo · 26/05/2013 19:51

Been unable to get near laptop for a few days but very happy to see you're having fun LNM! Smile Good on yer, girl. Snogging rules!! Wink

lazarusb · 26/05/2013 20:25

I hope you're feeling a bit less hungover at this end of the day Smile

LoserNoMore · 26/05/2013 20:45

Swimming nearly killed me but I'm feeling a bit more human like.

Hope you have a good week Cabbage and it stays dry.

Imtheonlyone, he took my number and text me earlier. He said he knows I'm not looking for a serious relationship right now but he'd like to hang out and get to know me more so shall see what happens. I'm defintely not up for anything heavy right and it's good he knows it.

OP posts:
imtheonlyone · 26/05/2013 21:23

Well he sounds like a decent enough bloke? At least he text you (tick), he respects your situation (tick), he clearly fancies you (tick!!) and he's a good kisser (tick!). So all good Grin. If nothing else a boost to your system which is welcome?

Well done for getting out swimming - I was tired just watching DS this morning!! I probably should have joined them in the pool - especially given the Chinese I've just eaten Confused!! I'm stuffed now and a little worried I won't have room for the final slice of cheesecake!!!!!!! Wink

LoserNoMore · 26/05/2013 21:59

Oh I've been thinking about that cheesecake all day! I'll need to make it next week.

Yeah he ticks a few boxes, and surprised he text me actually. Apparently I was doing actual cartwheels on the way home from the pub Blush I hate when vague memories from the night before start coming back to you! Hasn't seemed to put him off anyway.

HerrenaLovesStarTrek · 26/05/2013 22:01

Delurking to say that I'm glad you are having some fun LNM - I have been here from the start and have been quietly admiring your fortitude and dignity.

Well maybe not so much dignity when you nutted the bath, but definitely fortitude Grin

Oh and thank you to imtheonlyone for the cheesecake recipe, will be trying that very soon!

CabbageLeaves · 27/05/2013 07:52

Cartwheels Grin

My first relationship was very much on my terms of letting him know what a crap situation I was in, he'd be booted out if he so much as sneezed when I didn't want to be disturbed and don't expect anything from me.

He was the kindest, most supportive healing thing to happen. I didn't treat him badly but nor did I care about him. He listened, treated me and gave me a lot of fun and good sex to counter the crap times. Gradually I started to care but only when I was ready to let it happen

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 27/05/2013 11:49

Holy crap. I travel 400 miles & read this.

Well done lnm. Glad u had a good time. I've woke up today with what seems like chest infection! Have sent kids & dh off to visit I laws & his brothers lot. Spending time with my mum & will pop up to nursing home to see my dad later.

I'm still up for coffee if u fancy it.

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 27/05/2013 11:52

SAF. We did real Egypt in Luxor. This time we just need to chill out. El gouna looks ok. I don't want to go to sharm. Don't fancy it at all.

CabbageLeaves · 27/05/2013 17:29

The rain is lashing down. I've slept all afternoon. Needed that :)

Missed the start of Monopoly. Even better.

mrshectic · 27/05/2013 17:48

I've been watching your threads and I just wanted to say I think ur truly amazing......its hard to find inner strength when u need it most, ur children are very lucky to have u.

lazarusb · 27/05/2013 18:19

LNM - sounds pretty good to me, all in a weekend's work. You could have a bit of fun with him, just for you. He sounds sensible enough to realise your situation but clearly still likes you and wants to make sure you know that before you get snapped up by someone else Grin

Glad it was a positive one for you! Wine

swallowedAfly · 27/05/2013 18:45

if it's chill out you want i'm sure it will be perfect. i wouldn't fancy sharm either personally - most i've done is spend a night there.

hope you're enjoying your weekend lnm and good luck for back to work tomorrow. hope the strange quiet period continues.

imtheonlyone · 27/05/2013 22:59

No one around tonight?

Hope you're ok LNM?!

I'm in mourning - just polished off the cheesecake!! Gutted its all gone!! Ha!!

bleedingheart · 28/05/2013 07:17

Yey! Not only can you put up a fence, skip and trampoline-you can do cartwheels too! Go LNM!

I'm glad you had a goodnight out, I seem to remember defending cringey-email guy before. I think he sounds alright. Have fun!

CabbageLeaves · 28/05/2013 07:49

Lol at cringey-email-guy. Morning
