Juliette and Kin, I had all this last year. Getting up at 6 and waiting for track to update and it didn't, going into school thinking she had missed her grades to find out she hadn't and it was a technicality with track. Complete roller coaster! Good luck.

I'm still seeing the POF guy Grin.

Hi all :o

all still going very well here, two weekends in a row with Henry coming up... woop :o

I've also managed to matchmake two friends and I am :o for them

In other, fascinating news, I am defrosting my freezer. It's taking an eternity and I am so very bored. This is bad, because I'm tired with sooo much to do but can't really do anything til the freezer is sorted. I've resorted to using hot water but still getting nowhere fast.

FlorentinePogen · 14/08/2013 13:19

good lord we've got our own "special alleyway" now.

lorna, obviously the next move is to have a 3-some in the alley, a EuroPash. You know it makes sense.

Hairdryer.

I'm not joking.

KinNora · 14/08/2013 13:23

Thanks Scrazy DS is currently home alone and has scoffed at my offer to come home and hold his hand. Is PoFer going well then ?

Hello Lubes I can almost see your grin through your posts, hurrah for Henry ! I thought I'd heard a top defrosting tip but it was clearly so dull I can't remember it.

lubeybooby · 14/08/2013 13:33

It's OK, I just went and got all Sharon Stone with an ice pick on it's sorry ass.

Fuck you, freezer.

It's done! :o

I was always scared of damaging it hence the previous gentle methods but time's a wastin' and I figured I am skilled with my hands and aim so sod it. Glad I did and nothing seems damaged.

Kin, thanks :o he's awesome.

JulietteMontague · 14/08/2013 13:42

I apologise in advance for my behaviour during the next 24 hours.

Just looked at a thread about exam results and the level of smugness from some there has already got me stabby. I don't trust myself to post there so will alternate between whimpering and screeching on here if I may.

Lubey do you have access to a steam cleaner? It's my answer to almost anything.

Kin you must have nerves of steel.

Lorna as far as I can see you've been equitable with your favours, don't see a problem there although I do recommend a degree of street separation.

Off to (steam) clean the toilet Hmm

KinNora · 14/08/2013 13:54

What on earth made you look at a thread about results Juliette ? Those things are always full of smug sad acts who validate their own worthless existence via the achievements of their revolting fuck-faced offspring.

(Ishoos ? Moi ?)

KinNora · 14/08/2013 13:55

I bet Facebastard will be a Knobfest and a half tomorrow...

JulietteMontague · 14/08/2013 14:19

Kin you are wise and bad Grin

Two years ago I had a ranting thread about similar and have still not forgiven forgotten some of the comments that were made. I did get sound advice too, but I admit I have had the odd fantasy about doing the told you so dance with bells on.

Even more off topic, just watching a young Anthony Hopkins in 'When the Eight Bells Toll' Ok it was 1971 but he was HOT.

KinNora · 14/08/2013 14:39

Oh aye, even if I wanted to be on a thread like that, it'd be a bad idea Juliette - about two minutes in and I wouldn't be able to control myself any longer. What monstrous comments were made to you on your thread ?

I googled Anthony Hopkins in that film, not bad but not goes for a lie down

JoylessFucker · 14/08/2013 16:02

Juliette I need to tell you how much I love you. You have - with one wonderful sentence - given me my purpose - one which I have been floundering around trying to find. You see, the problem is I was thinking in a high-minded manner ... whereas what I need is simply to be able to do the I told you so dance, with bells on ... that is now official my goal and I'll worry about what subject I will be getting smug about later!

The very very best to fellow threadees' progeny awaiting results. Its a horribly stressful time. Oh & I hope I speak for my fellow posters that you may come here to be smug and do dances should the results be as hoped for, or quietly request un-MN hugs for those that aren't ... oh & lots of Wine

Lorna you are making me roar for which thank you. Much bad shit is hitting those around me atm, so you are a true darling.

To those who are dating and doing well - fantastic! To those who are wondering why oh why, here's Wine Flowers and remember its always them. I'm heading over to the sofa as my prospects have all displayed their wankerish traits and so have been dispatched to the dark ponds from which they sprung. G&T, Pimms, fizz with elderflower cordial anyone? Olives, cheese, nice bread?

scrazy · 14/08/2013 16:12

Kin, it's going OK with the POF guy. I have decided that I don't believe in love and all that stuff anymore. After all the energy I wasted on LT, I am due some meaningless fun.

I'm also thinking when this fizzles out to just be and not even look.

JoylessFucker · 14/08/2013 16:19

scrazy what a great attitude. I think part of my problem is that I'm finding the wankerish behaviour of potential datees more of a problem as my FB has gone worryingly quiet and I'm missing the regular supply of happy hormones Sad

KinNora · 14/08/2013 16:45

'I don't believe in love and all that stuff anymore' high five, fist pump, battle-weary nod Scrazy

Joy fizz with elderflower for me please, and some M&S Fish and Chips flavour crisps. Sad news about the FB and your other travails.

JoylessFucker · 14/08/2013 17:12

M&S Fish & Chips crisps you say?

Thanks Kin, I'll get over myself soon or I'll bore myself to death.

KinNora · 14/08/2013 17:37

Oh I'm always telling myself to shut up and stop being boring Joy - I hope you feel able to vent on here if it helps.

Those crisps are INCREDIBLE, so laden with flavouring, they sear the coating off your tongue.

bigstrongmama · 14/08/2013 17:43

This thread has gone so fast! Hellooo to all posters, new and old... Think I've missed a lot, so will just jump back in if that's ok?

OWW here's hoping Alpha will be sorted soon!
lorna glad you are having a good time (I used to be a big fan of quiet alleyways)
kirsty your guy sounds great, so good to hear

I'm after a bit of advice...again. Going to stay at his place again, 3rd date, for dinner and 'Dinner' as far as I can tell. Quite happy about this I think (obviously not committed to anything!) but also scared. I don't want him to never call again, and have no idea how to tell if he is that type. Also, I have loads of stretchmarks, which he will notice...what if he is really horrified?! He is much too kind to say anything, but still, aargh! I don't know what I'm asking here, but help!

KinNora · 14/08/2013 17:56

Mama I think the conventional wisdom on here from the gentleman posters is that once there's a very real possibility of getting some sexy time, you could be wearing a comedy moustache and a fedora at a jaunty angle and they wouldn't even notice, still let a few stretchmarks put them off, just wear some underwear you feel sexy in, works wonders.

There are no guaranteed ways to suss out shag 'n' runners so I think you just need to do whatever you want to, if you fancy a shag, go for it.

bigstrongmama · 14/08/2013 17:59

Thanks kin, maybe a comedy moustache would distract him from my few hundred stretchmarks

KinNora · 14/08/2013 18:06

Nah, honestly, just channel your inner sex goddess and blow his mind.
