I have the perfect rousers for this

side zip, cumerbubd type waist, widish leg - very very flattering and easy to wear

zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 16:11

[naturally suspcious] Do you really try to spoil someone on a first date? Don't you wait until you know if they are worth spoling?
Is he trying to impress you by wafting his cash about in a flash restaurant?

nailpolish · 31/08/2007 16:13

cd did you ever decide what to do with dd for her special wekend?

CountessDraculaPI · 31/08/2007 16:13

his opening gambit was "would you like to come and see my etchings in my ooh so posho pad"
he sounds SLIMEY

CountessDraculaPI · 31/08/2007 16:14

nailpolish · 31/08/2007 16:14

nailpolish · 31/08/2007 16:19

zippi if it doesnt work out andyou hate him on sight do you have friends you could call to colect you and you could still have a few drinks inlondon? not waste a trip?

nailpolish · 31/08/2007 16:21

the waistcoat look

Beetroot · 31/08/2007 16:21

not sure about the come and stay at my posh flat bit - hmmm...DONT taek posh dress.

agree with CD - he sounds a bit of a twat!

BUT I would go on dady date and stick to your guns about not staying

nailpolish · 31/08/2007 16:22

wrap dress?

lou33 · 31/08/2007 16:25

he does sound a bit pressurising

if you dont want to to a posh dinner thing then dont take any clothes to change into, and dont let him persuade you otherwise

i dont go for dinner on first dates, lunch or a drink yes, i prefer to leave dinner for if i have got ot know htem better

zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 16:25

I think i'll look rubbish in both those..the first is probably better...i think fawn beigey things will make me loook awful..

i bought some jeans a couple of weeks ago and they are size 14 per una ones

i have lost some more weight since i took thsat pic on my profile...that's the photo he is basing this invite on

zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 16:26

OP posts:
zippitippitoes · 31/08/2007 16:27
