JustAnother I can't imagine watching MOTD can be much fun for you these days... at least you have something fun to take your mind off NCFC...😉 Like Arsenal's excellent performance against Leicester and the save of the season 😆

Ohh, that’s a low blow… But you are right, supporting the Mighty Norwich is hard work, but we are the Sunday game (today), v Leeds, so was okay to.watch today, what’s really impressive is how Viera has turned Palace around.. they really went for the win

And I’m just off for my £9.5 breakfast, better be bloody well worth it !

WeWantTheFinestWines · 31/10/2021 10:13

You've presumably built up a big hunger after all the physical activity so enjoy your brekkie and don't forget to tell Ms Wales she's gorgeous.

And yes, who'd have thought Viera could be a top manager as well as a midfield genius.

I know ! , I was tell Ms Wales this, but she didn’t seem to care

@Languidleopard you deserve so much better than breadcrumbs. Block and no contact. It’s awful he claims his morals are just, b’cos he said blabla, but yet he acted like it was a relationship and happily lapped up the benefits. It’s a real head fuck and a harsh lesson to learn :(

Slothmomma · 31/10/2021 10:46

@Languidleopard sorry to hear how Mr breadcrumbs has treated you - stay strong, you deserve so much better than him🤗

@BelladiMamma me and Mr M are getting on really well and think we're both a little smitten (and I think he's getting very close to telling me 😱). He's looking at booking us our first weekend away for December on my only childfree weekend to a lovely city with Xmas markets - I can't wait ☺

SpringlikeBunk · 31/10/2021 11:30

Lovely @Slothmomma and shows it it worth holding out for the right situation Smile

JustAnother0ldMan · 31/10/2021 11:33

@Slothmomma, go for it, weekends away from the normal stuff are great, you can really connect with someone, and have some fun as well.

OnwardsEverStridingOnwards · 31/10/2021 11:57

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for all your wonderful messages! 😊

I'm still on Bumble. Mr Data is quite slow at replying to messages, but I'm getting along okay with Mr Tech. He's really good to talk to and has got quite a good sense of humour, with I like.

Also added Mr HR as a connection on LinkedIn as he's quite good to talk about work stuff with ❤️

Shayelle2009 · 31/10/2021 12:03

I never get how men can say one thing but act the other. Are they confused? Or delusional? They should get fucking oscars though. I have to be straight up with people I cant say one thing and act another it’s not in my nature and I cannot be that FAKE. Cunts.

Shayelle2009 · 31/10/2021 12:04

So cute @Slothmomma I love the sound of this guy! Can we all come to your wedding please 😆😆 x

Slothmomma · 31/10/2021 12:25

Definitely no more marriages for me @Shayelle2009 🤣

BelladiMamma · 31/10/2021 12:35

Stay in lounge wear for as long as you can then a quick change, hope all goes well tonight

@Cocopogo
Lucky escape last night, fingers crossed tonight is an improvement

@Languidleopard
I feel so pissed off with him and disappointed ...... absolutely don’t blame you, appalling behaviour

@Slothmomma
Definitely no more marriages for me ..... bugger ...... just as I was about to start looking for a hat Wink

SpringlikeBunk · 31/10/2021 12:39

Slightly annoyed by my date zero - messaged him last night to say to let me know what train he was getting in (I said after 3pm would work for me) and no reply?

Thinking of pre-empting and cancelling my end as I don’t want to be waiting around.

SpringlikeBunk · 31/10/2021 12:41

(I imagine other weekend plans cropped up his end which is fine but I don’t want a date zero with someone who can’t schedule things in correctly)

Onesmallstep67 · 31/10/2021 12:48

@Languidleopard, I know that it hurts massively to think that someone you have feelings for could treat you so poorly but try to use this to see him for who he really is. The only way we could applaud his honesty would be if he admitted to the date and apologised for any hurt it might cause you. But do you really want to be with someone who appears not to care about your feelings just because he told you upfront it wouldn’t become a relationship. You absolutely deserve better and you need to enforce your boundaries and not accept breadcrumbs again. 💕 I’ve almost been where you are with a long-standing FWB Mr Cocky who I allowed myself to accept pretty crap behaviour from at times because he told me he couldn’t offer a relationship but gave me tons of attention all the time- whilst going off and seeing other women, but I had no come back because I supposedly knew what I was getting into. I would like to think I would never accept breadcrumbs from anyone ever again. ( and just to update the long standing threadees who will have seen me post about him before I haven’t seen him in person in over a year and NC since March. We had some good times but I wouldn’t want to be so loosely attached to someone again who I had feelings for. It causes more hurt than happiness in the long run. )

(I think he’s a nice guy who basically was juggling a few things and went out and got drunk last night...but on my end it just was getting frustrating not knowing when I was eating or if I could go to the gym or not?)

BelladiMamma · 31/10/2021 12:55

Update to outfit. Decided to go slightly more low key and have packed trouser suit in case of dinner.

Am wearing long fitted black dress from whistles in black jersey with slit up the side. Boots, fitted, from LK Bennett. Cartier watch. Expensive underwear, very little of it. Fluffy midnight blue coat from Reiss. Leather burgundy large handbag from Barbour

Outfit the cost of all inclusive holiday in Spain. May need to adjust my clothing budget now I'm no longer married to a very rich man

Love it @BelladiMamma

Big fan of fitted black basics then accessories to complete the look.

SpringlikeBunk · 31/10/2021 13:00

@BelladiMamma

No from me - Blush

I don’t think there was a massive connection or interest either end tbh and if I’m having a friend for coffee or lunches probably easier to find someone local who isn’t a train journey away?
