Hello and welcome.

OP posts:
fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 21:26

dont I can't move on from 'long distanced emotionally unavailable' guy for the same reason! No-one at all compares. However, I know I don't love him, I love the sexy, shiny non domesticised, never boring or over familiar irregular and exciting stuff.

BUT

It's not enough. I want more, and I too am very fussy!

UrsulaBuffay · 20/04/2014 21:27

Another one near Preston god where are you lot finding all the blokes?! Haha :)

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 20/04/2014 21:28

Im fussy too. Nowt wrong with having standards though lol. Better to be alone than succumb to shiny bald short men who live 300 miles away.

Ha ha Ursula what do you mean? Are you NW too?

And FYI I'm not finding any!!

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 20/04/2014 21:29

Maybe you Preston ladies could be dating the same guys...eek!

dippinmytoe · 20/04/2014 21:35

Thanks jarlin I'm good. I despise my ex and all he does.. just so angry made no effort for my bday .. kids are 4 & 2 !! Meant to have them 3 nights over easter .. he only managed 1.. loving all the refs to Preston as thats where gf no3 or 4 is from in 10 months :-) just felt quite liw today as Easter and no kids. . But they are home since 6 :-)

fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 21:36

Jarlin yes....you'll have seen my take on this upthread then! I bloody REFUSE to go the middle aged man route and get fat, dress badly and generally let myself go. I'll grow old glamourously and disgracefully and then, if nothing else works, wear long purple hippy things, drink gin stink of piss and get cats Grin

And those blokes can go and retire to Holmfirth and play at being teenagers again!

fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 21:37

NOT GUILTY here! I'm not dating anyone. YET! Wink

dippinmytoe · 20/04/2014 21:37

flora hope preston ladies are not dating my ex !! God help them if so ;-)

UrsulaBuffay · 20/04/2014 21:42

Yes I work in Preston! Tbf there are a lot of hotties show up in Manchester but it's a wee bit far really, locals tend not to be as erm groomed haha

fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 21:42

let's see if he responds to this....

So do you have just the one? I see you're in Blackpool, do you walk it/them on the beach? I only discovered mine could swim in a flooded underpass in Croyden whilst shopping for specialist sausages.... ;)

I am going to be nervous to update if I do message geeky. But never fear - we are safe for a week at least...

fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 21:43

I feel your pain Urs Wink

UrsulaBuffay · 20/04/2014 21:45

I want a lovely young hipster sexpot not generic lumpy faced man holding fish!

fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 21:48

Don't we all Urs!!

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 20/04/2014 21:50

Lol.....I want a guy who is hot, loaded and thinks all his christmases have come when meeting me.
I would even settle for one holding a fish!

fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 21:52

OK Flora that's a reasonable want. The fish wouldn't be a deal breaker, as long as he can fillet and cook! Grin

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 20/04/2014 21:54

Lol Fifty...definitely. Abd salmon rather than sardines!

fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 21:59

Think I fried Mr Boxer Trucker's brain. He hasn't responded to the 'sausage search in flooded Croydon underpass' post. I wonder why?! Smile

fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 22:03

So...just messaged irish guy as he's winked at me twice!

He has hair!!!

louby44 · 20/04/2014 22:18

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 20/04/2014 22:20

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 20/04/2014 22:24

Also remember Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp are now over 50! There is hope....

fiftyandfab · 20/04/2014 22:46
