Can’t believe I’m onto my third thread.

Previous one here

Been packing the car to go to the tip. It’s rammed! Cat has been out for the first time and thankfully returned.

Greatly enjoyed my walks this weekend. Got an 8 miler in yesterday but the best part was coming back, lighting the fire and getting into a hot bath. Had a zoom with friends last night, touch too much red wine, but it was so much fun.

You’re all right re the petition. It doesn’t matter, he’s just jackbooting. Someone asked what I’d put in, sorry but I’m not comfortable sharing that at present, been advised to keep it to myself whilst it’s ongoing.

Geller is, however, incredulous that I’m not willing to carry on sharing Amazon Prime and Music Unlimited.

The weighted blankets have arrived so I’m just about to go sort out the laundry and the girls run. Been enjoying Radio 2’s musical weekend, but I can’t understand how Steve Wright is still on.

Tip run, then they come back. Roast chicken with bread sauce and roast gnocchi and board games this afternoon in front of the fire I think. Sounds like he’s been running them ragged, lots of walks etc which is good as means I don’t need to!

How’s everyone else spending their Sunday?

OP you can't segue from 'interesting' conversations with ex-boyfriends to how one tests waterproof socks - that's not OK Grin give us the gossip!

DartmoorDoughnut · 12/03/2021 07:34

What @ContessaDiPulpo said Polly! I am SO looking forward to the school run in the sideways hail this morning, boys are exhausted but my DH is in the office today so they’re going and I have the house all to myself Grin may go wild and have a nap 😂 won’t really have thrilling plans to clean, crochet and cook, the three c’s

JollyGreenGiantess · 12/03/2021 07:51

I feel like the title of the next thread needs to be something about mashers. Or Masher Orders.

StuckInPollyannaMode · 12/03/2021 09:18

Nothing gets past you all does it?!

Not sure what you’re going to make of this. Ready for a bollocking.

I have a uni boyfriend I lost touch with after graduation. He’s a lovely guy but it just didn’t work out.

Facebook managed to put us back in touch and we sent a couple of nice messages, then the usual congrats of getting married, babies etc.

Geller and I took the kids to London for the weekend 3 years ago and randomly, whilst walking down the South Bank, we ran into him! Had a coffee and a catch up, I introduced him to Geller and the kids, it was a nice way to spend an hour. He went on his way and that was that.

Three weeks ago I randomly I had very detailed dream about meeting him again (not THAT kind of dream, we were on a sailing holiday!). The next morning, he messaged me on LinkedIn. After a few texts we ended up chatting that evening. He’s got divorced, and has had a lot of family stuff to deal with. Again, nice to catch up and we said after lockdown was over it would be nice to go for a walk and a pub lunch - he lives 3 hours drive away. I was a bit like ooh, is it a date, not sure, we’re old friends BUT...who knows.

A couple more slightly flirty messages were exchanged but it was clear we both had enough on our plates to deal with.

Last night he phoned and we had a very flirty conversation. I am very clear I am not in any way looking for a relationship, neither is he, but we both said how lovely it would be to have hugs and a bit of ...ahem...attention...

Right. Ready for my bollocking. I AM still married and all but oh, how I long for a bit of fun. And some good sex - that’s not happened in at least a decade.

Oh god. You’re all going to hate me. I know. I KNOW.

No bollocking from me! Go for it!

DartmoorDoughnut · 12/03/2021 09:27

Get back on that horse Grin A lovely non scary way to go about it

pointythings · 12/03/2021 09:34

No bollocking from me. I hope it works out and that it's everything you want. Geller doesn't deserve to be considered in this, he's blown it in every possible way.

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 12/03/2021 09:38

Nope no bollocking here, be safe, be sure, be sexy xx

TeapotCollection · 12/03/2021 09:43

My husband was like you when we met - officially still married but well and truly separated. Just sayin’ 😁

TeapotCollection · 12/03/2021 09:43

That was meant to be a big grin, no idea where that came from!

Emotionalfuckwit · 12/03/2021 09:44

I have followed your threads all the way through but haven't commented until now... Bollock you?! I'm throwing you a massive party with a mash potato buffet 🎉

RandomMess · 12/03/2021 09:47

No bollocking from you, just be careful with your feelings!!

SpringCrocus · 12/03/2021 09:52

Go for it!

ContessaDiPulpo · 12/03/2021 09:57

No judgement here, shag his legs off! Protection in place and all that Grin

LadyDanburysHat · 12/03/2021 10:06

Yeah, no bollocking. You deserve something good in your life.

CoolCatTaco · 12/03/2021 10:27

Bollock you my arse! Go and have some fun for a change!! Just be careful you don't get hurt.

katmarie · 12/03/2021 10:33

No bollocking from me. You deserve fun and happiness. Just make sure that you are happy with whatever terms this situation is on, and so is he. A bit of fun, fwb, or more, just make sure you're both on the same page, and enjoy!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 12/03/2021 10:35

You only have one life, go for it! I think you've bloody earned some fun Smile

Mix56 · 12/03/2021 10:44

Yeah ! 3 hours away.... this takes some organisation....& preparation ! shave legs etc !

RandomMess · 12/03/2021 10:50

Meeting half way could be fun 🤩

justilou1 · 12/03/2021 10:57

Why the hell would we bollock you? You’re being proactive, @StuckInPollyannaMode! Go, you good thing!

MangoBiscuit · 12/03/2021 11:18

I met DP before my divorce was through. No bollockings from me.

TigsytheTiger · 12/03/2021 12:11

I think it's pretty clear you are only married in name only! Go and have some fabulous fun, you deserve it!

wifterwafter · 12/03/2021 12:21

@StuckInPollyannaMode hate you? I'm bloody thrilled, pizza, shag, bottle of wine once a week, nothing wrong with that!! I hope it works out for you and you have lots of great sex and fun. Yes it's adultery in law but who cares!?

wifterwafter · 12/03/2021 12:23
