Or am I going to be 'one'

SaR - we don't have those kind of conversations in our family, my mum even dislikes me saying 'knickers' instead of 'pants' because it's 'unladylike'. I think people who work in healthcare are generally pretty open, my dc know I'll answer any questions of a biological nature.

It's not pathetic to think about Mr Distant, maybe allow yourself a couple of days of constant thinking about him, relating everything to him no matter how ridiculous - 'the neighbours are painting their fence blue, sigh, Distant always hated blue' , ' look at that, Coco Pops are on BOGOF, Distant used to love chocolatey milk' etc , in my experience this makes you laugh and you get a bit bored of them - you have to be relentless with yourself though.

Flipper - I know, made me laugh too -childish emoticon.
( I'm in the screening room next Friday morning, video swallow day, you've made me see your profession in a more positive light - go you ! )

Kin I need brain and ear bleach and it's not even my mother. I have some similar memories amongst my friends and knowing their mothers I think it also might have something to do with still wanting to exert control on the one area where they know it should be private and separate.

Maybe it's a generational thing, but I can't imagine that having so much impact on the average woman in her mid twenties. Or maybe I'm deluded now I'm the mother.

Good morning all

KinNora · 29/06/2013 09:42

Sorry Juliette, I don't know what she was trying to achieve, she wouldn't have said it to me as she knows I'd have looked at her like she's mad. I do love her but she rubs me up the wrong way.

How are you, feeling ok ?

JulietteMontague · 29/06/2013 09:54

Yes I'm ok. I'm looking forward too seeing him, and I'm actually feeling happy.

KinNora · 29/06/2013 09:59

That's excellent news, have fun x

Morning all.. I am still in bed .. Need to get up as the guy who is going to do my kitchen and bathroom when I get the keys to my new house is coming at 12

juliette hope he redeems himself and you have fun

Newstart13 · 29/06/2013 12:27

Morning to all.

I have been lurking in here on and off for months, you are all amazing, and funny and wise :-))))

I need to 'get out there' ...

Hate pof tried before and just can't seem to get any luck.

Have joined just single parents as the traffic is lower but as a paid site seems to be a little more discerning... and I am in a highly populated area so there is still choice. Still the usual idiots but hey ho, have read and taken heed of the rules!

Would very much appreciate some one looking at my profile.. Pm me if that's ok, you can look in there without joining but I will need go say how to find me etc.

Thanks in advance. Hope all planned dates go well, I have a potential one tomorrow, we spoke last night and it went great, will definitely do loo reports etc!

Kirsty ope you made it out of bed - I need to - am wallowing with a sports injury today :-(

Bant · 29/06/2013 12:52

Hi Newstart - I'd say welcome to the thread but you've been here for ages, it seems, just quietly :)

I've also had no luck with POF, I just couldn't ever get into it. I think on there it's much more of a numbers game (for men at least) and I never had a date from it. Match and OKC were much better for me - and okc is free.

If you're in a city, you could try GSM or something like that.

PM me your details and I'll take a look, although if you're getting dates, maybe it doesn't need any tweaking.

I'm not sure if a paid site is necessarily more discerning - you'll get fewer teenagers on it, but married men may use it more.

good luck tomorrow

Filthy for me. Very verbal. Assertive. Confident. Unihibited. A desire to please and be pleased. Did I mention very verbal Grin

Have fun Juliette

My 18yo daughter is here all the time since ending it with her BF Sad I can go to Mr R&Rs place, but like him to come here at times. I just ask her if she can stay with a mate. She understands Smile

48howdidthathappen · 29/06/2013 13:27

55 You had a good time Smile So you know you can.

Onwards and upwards.

JulietteMontague · 29/06/2013 13:30

Right, I'm off to the airport. Dutch has, since I left, taken responsibility for his crap and done all the right things. He knows exactly how I feel and some. It's early days still so we'll see. Meanwhile, it will be good to have him here Grin

JulietteMontague · 29/06/2013 13:30

and 55 you vixen Grin

Flipper924 · 29/06/2013 13:33

55! Go you! If it felt right, then good for you. I hope he calls, too, but if he doesn't, it's his loss.

Nora, I'm hoping for a 'services to the profession' award, for proving that we're not all stuck up our own backsides.

Welcome, newstart. Sounds like your profile is just fine.

48howdidthathappen · 29/06/2013 13:35

That is great Juliette Mr R&R has fucked up in the past, but always put it right.

Extra brownie point for Dutchie!
