@Isitreallyme1277 hope you feel better soon ❤️

Welcome back, @ReturnBunk! Fab to hear from you again ❤️

In tentatively in for trying to come down for the day! If you'll have me! I have rubbish ID though (and always get chucked out) so will try to sort beforehand though no promises!

@OnwardsEverStridingOnwards

hey hey!

Would be great to see you, @InABetterPlaceNow! I feel that we are quite similar.

Will need to start looking at hotels next month 😊

@ReturnBunk well, hey there! 😀❤️😘😘

More the merrier @InABetterPlaceNow

I think there's a mix of people who are making a weekend of it, and then some who are "just going to see what happens and drop in for a drink if they can".

Also an opera trip side-expedition PM me for details if you're interested.

(if lockdown happens I'll be steaming !)

@Stayingstrongish
Ms W liked a “performance”, oral, 69, PIV on the bed, chair, shower etc etc, (bloody exhausting) she didn’t say much (made lots of noises…), personally I’m not into all that name calling stuff - not really my thing (am I too old for that),

There was one time, we were “getting busy”, we had some background music on (radio), and I was answering radio quiz questions while being “busy”, she laughed at that.

In other news I’ve eaten too much lebkuchen today, feeling sick now 🤢

I'll probably come down for the day / early evening (easier babysitting!!) - would be great (if weird!) to see you all. And a pity to miss out as having done this a few times in my life, you can never read the thread in the same way 😬😂😅

Absolutely! I probably won't stay the night (am still working out logistics for that with MrT 😬 though who knows, might have enough sleepover points banked by then as I've been an open house recently!!)

LOL @InABetterPlaceNow

I know, it's like a mega date zero where we all know everything (TMI maybe ) and also nothing about each other!

I'll personally just be glad to be away on a break tbh and not being all solitary in a cafe by myself or trying to do work networking!

@InABetterPlaceNow 👍🏻❤️😘

I shall be the one with the limp so I'll be hopefully easy to spot 😂😂🤣🤣

if you're looking at staying the night (this is being drilled into us at work) check any bookings made are 100% refundable in case of any last minute lockdown - I hope we're Ok now but there may be another Omicron emerging! I have a room booked but can cancel day before with no cost to me.

www.booking.com is good for this

@OnwardsEverStridingOnwards

Same with transport etc, think about "Plan B" in case you have to cancel last minute so you're not out-of-pocket.

Jumping in 👋, previously on the thread for a while a couple of years ago when I first started dating after my divorce after 25 years with my exh and then joined the dating in your 40s thread last year (even though I was 50 🤣).

Finished a just under year long relationship at the beginning of November and psyching myself up to go back on the apps in the new year.

Now 52 😬 partly thinking I can't be bothered but would like a relationship that adds to my life. Have had a decent 6 month and then the latest relationship so hoping for 3rd time lucky 🤞

Have met all previous dates and the 2 guys I had relationships with on Match. Had one first date from Hinge last time round, nice guy but not for me. Zero success on Bumble and too scared to go on Tinder!

@ReturnBunk thank you so much for that. 😘 that's really helpful!

Yeah, me and my mum were looking to make a weekend of it as we don't get out that often ❤️

Huoefully the pain might have lessened and I might have continued making some progress on the dating front by then! 🤞🏻❤️

@ReturnBunk 👍🏻😘

Sounds a good plan @OnwardsEverStridingOnwards, when we get the WhatsApp group going we can also double-check on accessibility for venues.

In other news, MrDublin and I had a minor birth control snafu. Obviously at my age I'm looking at almost certain miscarriage rather than pregnancy and I really don't want to go through having to terminate a high risk and let's be honest unwanted pregnancy at my age.

He's done all the heavy lifting of figuring out the way forward. I don't think I've been able to actually rely on a bloke before to do that for me. Feels really good.

I don't think any age is "almost certain miscarriage", surely you need to look into the morning after pill, or coil, no?

Just checking in, the list has rocketed along today

Had a lovely afternoon and evening with Ms YM1 at Bleinhiem Place for afternoon tea and the light show they've got one.

I'm 110% sure now she definitely doesn't want me, but is only interested in a friendship. She is amazing company and I'm absolutely besotted but it's not be
