Dumplings, can't believe I'm not the only one still awake. You're not going to believe how low I've sunk, I've spent the past two hrs creating a profile & trawling the local trash talent.

I am starting over tomorrow & will refocus on my life. I will have dc's up in a few hrs. There is no purpose to this, why am I doing it?? I have no notion of dating anyone from a site!! I am looking at all the profiles & when I see divorced I'm thinking you're another lying cheating fu*kface!! When I see dc's, I'm thinking as above but abandoning fu*kwit to boot!! Anyone not separated or with dc's, I'm thinking either he's prob got a wife at home or else he must be a freak of nature that he has to go on a website to find a woman!!

I have ate my way through the full trifle, smoked about 10 cigs & wasted precious sleep hours. I've lost my way, tomorrow I'm starting anew, book in hand (the secret).

Might as well chuck some galaxy chocolate and some wine in just to cover all cravings
angles

starting....if i recall there were some rather nice boots in tesco last time i went....maybe then you could combine your boot/trifle fetishes

apologise, apologise.....have only been able to get on the laptop when without kids at the mo!!!

i chatted to a guy about six months ago via plenty of fish but nothing happened as he was going to Oz for a year - he has been texting me in the hope that i'm still single when he returns in june.....

have been chatting to a local guy via facebook and may have a date either this saturday or next.

and 3 YES 3 guys from cosmopolitan dating site, one in manchester (gorgeous and well off - has horses), one in sheffield (gorgeous, has a little girl and phoned me as soon as he had my number) and one from surrey of all places (cute and v keen and thinks i am gorgeous).

so you can see i've been a tad busy!!! have been reading the thread but havent had anything to report until the last 3 days - seems men are obv like buses.......

Mavis, I empathise with you about dc's, my two younger dc's were awake during night aswell (coughs) & ended up in my bed, one of them jumped on my back this am when I was in a comatose state & refusing to budge & am crippled all day. on full prices to x. I am a huge fan of bargains/sales too.

Mutha, you sly old dog sneaking off & abandoning us for online flirting... agree with beauty, you need to report back, some of us with sad old lives are reliant on these updates. to hear about your colleague. We've had terrible flooding here too.

Beauty, I have a painter who happens to be single booked to arrive on Tues .

Evening Dumplings, am depressed, worn out & bootless. Shopping expedition was a bit of a disaster, had granny & 3 bored as soon as they set foot inside mall dc's.

Abandoned all v quickly & brought dc's & granny for dinner & icecream (bribery for boot shopping). Each time I attempted to try on any boots all three dc's had shoes off in a flash & were tottering around in high heels, Granny was looking on aghast, I tried to go to the zone & block it all out so that I could focus on task at hand but by the third boot stop I could no longer pretend, dc's were barefoot, hollering loudly at each other, granny had departed muttering to self, so had to have a serious chat with self & say what is this all about, am in possession of about 30 pairs of boots of all description, quiet a few still in boxes, so much to the delight of fellow shoppers I departed.

Did manage to get matching outfits & boots for dd's for xmas. Again was difficult task as had to block out ds shoeless & leaping accross all the seats to see how far he could jump, all the while hollering loudly in delight, granny was crimson with look of complete despair at this point.

Following this granny quickly departed & I proceeded to drag dc's to tesco where I purchased 2 family sized tubs of trifle.

Mavis - yes, Workington and Cockermouth seem to have had it worst....though Kendal/Keswick is getting bad now. Thankfully I live right down south and nothing too bad as yet.

glad all your family are safe and well.

has stopped for now but more on the way!

MUTHA! You are not allowed to stay away from here when you are flirting. That is internet version of ditching your friends for a boyfriend. You have to come on here and share!!!!! Who are they? Where did you meet? (Match?) What have they said that's lovely and when are you meeting them??

So sad about your colleague.

Mutha - I thought of you today with the floods. Its west of where I used to be (and north of you?) Awful pictures on the news. If I move back the place I would go has been flooded this week. My family are all in the area but thankfully on higher ground. Hope it has stopped raining with you now.

Just having a quick skim to catch up with you all....and you are all doing so well!!!!

Reason I've not been on is I've been flirting outrageously with several guys online and may have a few dates lined up!

Beautiful - i did loads of decorating on becoming single.....my house is now looking lovely and not ashamed to bring anyone back should the need arise .

I probably work with a few people mentioned on uniform dating and am in fact on there myself but am too tight to pay for it. I work with rather a lot of guys in uniform but sadly none are either a) tasty enough or b) single....not that that stops some of them!!

Bit of a sad day in work as we lost a colleague due to the floods in my county
