who initiated?

[outofpractice]

I am interested in whether your or your dh/ dp took the initiative at the very beginning, when you started seeing each other. Do you think it has made any difference whether it was you or him? I try hard to understand what went wrong last time, and maybe I don't really remember things right, but part of me wonders whether because he was initially shy / slow to make a move, and then I did, that affected his attitude later, ie made him feel uncertain about whether he really wanted to be in the relationship. On the other hand, we quarrelled a couple of times and then I had full blown courtship from him with champagne, flowers, love letters to make me get back together with him. How important do you think your initial attitude was to how things turned out later?

Hey!! He started it AND I was trying to sort him out.

Tell her Simon!

[mmm]

and why not SH? I'm sure you'd make a lovely mumsnet pin-up and it's mmm as in , 'mmm, yes darling what?'

[Lil]

sigh..mmm..see, there you go again, fawning around SH. You're just encouraging him to flirt his way around the site - talk about an ego boost.

Well, would you go on a dadnet.com and flirt with all the men on there? Its all highly suspicious.

[SimonHoward]

Lil

I have never canoodled with M2T.

And as for flirting on Dadsnet well I'm not usually that sort of boy.

[SimonHoward]

MMM

What a terrifying thought.

I cannot imagine why anyone would want to pin me up, except on a dart baord.

[SimonHoward]

Mum2Toby

From now on we will have to co-ordinate what threads we will post on so not to flirt in any shape or form.

[Mum2Toby]

No problem you sexy beast you.

[mmm]

lil- I'd much rather flirt with YOU, but you'll have to teach me!

[Rhubarb]

SH - 4 posts in a row presuming we would all want to see your piccy! You're not big-headed in anyway are you? I just can't seem to picture one of the Mitchell brothers being called Simon, it's just not a very macho name - sorry!

My picture is here , not very flattering I'm afraid.

[Mum2Toby]

You might have brushed your hair first Rhubarb. Jeeeesus!!! Some people have no pride!!

[Rhubarb]

Hey! Stop stalking me!!!

[Mum2Toby]

You are my clone - I go where you go! Plus, you said your rich and I'm hoping you'll be my bestest friend in whooooole wide world.

[Rhubarb]

What, when you called me fat! I don't think sooooooo! I'd rather spend my money on educating my children privately and hunting the poor with my dogs!

[SimonHoward]

Rhubarb

If you think Simon is a bit wimpy I'm glad my mother won out on the who gets to pick the names argue ment as my father wanted the following for me (No lie and sorry for any spelling mistakes).

Orville Sebastian Beauregarde Plunkett Mulligatawny Howard.

Needless to say I'm happy with Simon (after St Peter who was called Simon as well).

As for your picture Rhubarb I agree that you could have bothered to do your hair.

[Mum2Toby]

Fair point!

I'm off now to rally the troops for another Animal Rights march.

[meanmum]

I thought your collagen lips were lovely Rhubarb.

[Mum2Toby]

Meanmum - would you like to join my March?

[breeze]

tut, tut. STOP IT BEFORE YOU GET INTO TROUBLE AGAIN.

Sorry SH, I think Ross Kemp is cute, I have seen your picture and definately phil's twin.

[SimonHoward]

Breeze

Does Ross Kemp play Phil or Grant?

[Mum2Toby]

MEEEEEEEEEIOOUUWWW!

[breeze]

Grant I am afraid.

[SimonHoward]

Now I have to remember which one is which.

[breeze]

Phil has the beard and talks like he has a sore throat.

[SimonHoward]

Breeze

That means nothing to me.

I know one was taller than the other (Phil was I think)

[Mum2Toby]

SH - Phil is still in it. Grant left about 2 years ago!!
