    Oh I love hearing about your FWBs - they sound a right buzz!!

    Know what you mean! But I'm still in the dark ages with a mobile that I can only use for calls and texts. But I have emailed a few photos in the past. Thank goodness for digital cameras.

    Hi all

    Frogletina have you heard the expression 'treat them mean, keep them keen'?

    I think he's playing games with you.

    Any red blooded man would be meeting up, now matter where they lived. My ex and I used to live over 300 miles apart.

    I don't think you should wait around for any man that needs to be prodded into action, I think you should take that as a warning sign that something isn't right. And the same advice for online men as well.

    Have a good day girls. I'm exceptionally late for something but don't care.

    Good day ladies... Oh i do love reading these posts on my mobile whilst at work :-) its easy to b suckered in on the net, to get chatting to somebody and really really like them, without knowing their true intention. If i am honest alarm bells would b ringing about this man sadly, as anglea said if he was genuine itd make it happen, afterall not like ur asking for a date which he may not b able to afford or too much time... I think u could find somebody much better. Do know its easierr said than done tho. Todays dragging soooo badly. Naughty oasis dorothy perkins and newlook emailed me this morn but i was strong lol

    @Nglady- a pic...oh boy! And i though i was lowering the tone!:cool:
    But i agree- a pic will definitely up the tempo!
    Well done on resisting the urge...i am soo feeling like spending money i don't have that i have to force myself to empty online baskets and not go into town after work.
    @Anglea- fudge- it's the sugar, the texture in my mouth as it dissolves. i am a texture and taste eater- i love the feeling of eating. I almost never get hungry but i do like the feeling of melting choc, cake, anything yummy really. My tastebuds are where my problem lies:p
    @Frogletina- I wouldn't bother with the potential...these t'internet peeps can be such timewasters- I would email the muse an oh so slightly suggestive pic then...:D asking when you're gonna meet up.
    @CL- where are you? How you doing?

    Hi all

    I had to laugh Ziggles reading 'have to force myself to empty online baskets' :rotfl:

    So you like texture of foods in your mouth. That must be a dangerous thing to like as there are so many different possibilities. Luckily I don't like anything too sweet.

    NGlady look what you started mentioning sending a pic but wouldn't it be awful if you accidentally sent it to the wrong person LOL

    How long until your holiday?

    As Ziggle said, CL where are you?
  • Evening,

    I'm here, reading away, but not doing much replying as I've felt so tired. My monitor has died so I'm on my netbook which is so small it annoys me. My pc monitor was 24 inches so this 10 inch screen seems tiiiiiny.

    You ladies make me giggle with tales of your FWBs, raunchy pics and the like. You're a bunch of teases :P

    Must confess my caffeine-limiting has gone down the plughole of late, though I do feel slightly more human. I'm terrible, I know.

    You're all doing so well with your challenges... ziggles, well done on the weight loss - 4lbs is a great achievement :):)

    Have not been good with my spends recently, though I will be doing an epic return-a-thon tomorrow to recoup some funds. Also wasted £30 on a meal at the weekend which was vile. I didn't eat more than a couple of spoonfuls. I have vowed to never eat out at restaurants ever again, as it was so painful handing over the money for the bill!!!

    I will write more tomorrow, including a nice long rant about my clothing woes (too long for tonight, I fear I may fall asleep at the keyboard! :o) xx

    CL 0 I enjoy hearing about your rants. Why was the meal so expensive? Did you go somewhere posh? If it was that vile id have complained in my loudest possible voice :)

    Anglea - yeah i know, wouldnt it be awful if you happend to send them to somebody wrong. Such as if your partner was a 'mike' or 'mark' or 'martin' and you sent it to 'mum' or Darren or Dave and sent to 'dad' lol.

    Im sure you've done something similar in the past missus!!

    I have been thinking, remember MrManchester? I wonder if he was as close to a FWB as I got.

    Not too long at all now, couple of weeks :D can't wait. ready for a nice long rest.

    Hi all

    CL lovely to see your post, any idea what's causing the tiredness. I think it is the caffeine, even though you cut down.

    I hope you didn't buy any more boots LOL

    That's a real shame about the meal. What dish did you choose?

    NGlady, no I've never done anything naughty like that with the pic - I don't have a camera on my phone for a start, and secondly after ex I went right off men.

    Although I do have a funny story along these lines from before I married.

    A male friend and I had contests who could come up the the best practical jokes. I can't remember what I did to him but it was very over the top and I knew he'd be getting me back and I remember wondering if he'd given up because nothing had happened.

    However unknown to me, his practical joke was already in operation. Months ago I had unwisely told him a risque nickname my b/f called me and the friend then placed an ad in a sex magazine listing my home phone number. What he didn't realise is that I moved out so mum started getting a few peculiar surprises when she picked up the phone :eek:

    Hi all

    NGlady mum is not broad minded at all and would have been horrified. She never told me about the calls and it was only by accident I found out when I came home on a visit at the time some pervert decided to phone and I picked it up. It was then she said that they had been going on for a while.
