Ann…hope dad gets his strength back bit by bit.
I could camp out in house but it is a mess. I need 40,000 to renovate it which i don’t have. It’s 2 1/2 hrs from my job so I have put in for a job transfer 1/2 hr from house. I could get a transfer soon.. I could wait years before I get one. The plan is to move my furniture etc over at Xmas and shut my family up complaining. Then I will travel over every other weekend and do as much work as I can myself. Next summer I hope to have saved enough to get the back roof replaced and new windows. By Xmas 2015, heating and electrics. Then dry lining walls, re- concrete floors, then decoration. By 2016 I hoe to have a lot done. 2017 I renovate the barn to make it a master Bedroom. By 2018 finished and either I have moved over by then, rent it out or decide to sell. I’m sorta winging it by ear and a prayer…. no money or help to do otherwise. I also saw a house for 20,000 in Germany. Bummer !
November 10, 2014 at 12:42 pm #373836SherriDid you get it for the price you offered or you had to increase the price? Wow that’s a lot of work to put in. May be walker will help ;) … also put on POF and take any and all dates to help so that they can also use the opportunity to show off their handiness and muscles ;)
November 10, 2014 at 12:48 pm #373840HarleyHa Ha Ha . Dog walker dude is 3 hours away from house,BUT.. it’s a conversation opener !I like messing at stuff like this. I should have been an interior designer in another life. I will get before and after pics… do a 5 yr diary. I have Stalin’s “5 yr plan ” in mind and then I shall have a beautiful house again and debt free !
I got it for 4,000 below asking price. it looks awful now but has huge potential.
November 10, 2014 at 12:50 pm #373844celesteannvHarls.. Ann.. thanks so much. Ann still praying for you.
Harls.. belt was pretty tight before. I have a small savings but won’t last long. Talking to lswyer about pushing support from ex. Will mean stress for Luke but need that cushion. Also called realtor about selling house. Rent 8s not cheap but no taxes.. up keep. . And smaller utility bills.November 10, 2014 at 1:03 pm #373846HarleyYep.. we all gotta roll with the punches.. unfortunately. I’ll pray you get another job soon. Yep.. push ex for money. Luke shall just have to understand. God, it’s never easy, is it ????
I have visions of my new/old house being “MR Blanding’s dreamhouse”… in other words……… a nightmare !
November 11, 2014 at 3:13 am #373958mariaHey girlies!
I too had a quiet weekend… I still have Yaya (the chihuahua) and that kind of affects everything I do… it’s fun though, she’s a little magnet… to teenage girls… so I’m totally bonding with 10 of those a day… not sure if that’s good or bad…
Thanks Ann… your pic being sideways… it has to do with what type of camera you used and also your browser. Photoshop should turn the pic automatically… you can also try to right click on it and choose rotate (and save), either where you have it stored or go into Gravatar and do it in there (might not work).
Harl, sooon the house and keys will be yours… I actually remember what it looks like… white with black “patterns”… and a proper roof… it looked quite OK IMO… your 5 yr plan sounds solid… Stalin would have been proud…
Sherri, I knew you had it under control… I see a huge positive change in you… not so long ago you were afraid of sex and knew very little about guys… and look at you now… you’re confident and know a lot… that’s great progress IMO…
Celeste, stay strong… you’ll get through it all… I know you will. Both you and Ann are in my thoughts and I so hope and wish for positive changes in your lives… hugs <3
November 11, 2014 at 4:40 am #373962HarleyWell. …I had a babe material yank friend me on fb last night. another guy from my past in Germany. …I am destined NEVER to get away from that bloody place !! I remember dancing on a pool table with him singing ‘ Danny Boy ‘..his name is a Danny. He had a wee flirt but then stopped as he has a gf. so…We are just mates. but….It was a nice pick me up after all of late. good to know I still have y pulling power !!!!
off to buy some second hand windows today for barn conversion in the future !
November 11, 2014 at 9:28 am #374008SherriHey ladies,
So guess what 38 year old replied to the message with a very general message as to what he did on the weekend. Funnily enough that did not send me to crazyville again. I replied to it saying see u on Friday (as we are both going to be going for a meet up on Friday). I am surprised because just last week I was so anxious to hear from him. Hmmmm wondering if it was that time of the month when I was ovulating or something that sent me to crazyville ;)
The date last night while pleasant, I do not see myself with him in any relationship. So he messaged me last night that he would like to meet again and I replied that I do not see a future with us and all the best in his search. He is a nice guy but not really for me. Its funny how many nice guys are out there on these sites that I find but some of the women come here saying that only crazies are out there. Wonder why???
The meet up I went to with my sister in the evening and had a great time. Learnt 3 new board games. This is a meet up that I see myself going to for may be once a month or two not every week. But its good to know that it is available and the people seem pleasant.
I have a date today evening with the guy who has been wanting to meet me since 2 weeks. He had to cancel once due to work. I decided to meet him just to see if anything is there. But if he has to cancel today then I am done.
This weekend seems to be busy. Friday meet up group, Saturday meeting with one of my FWNBs, Sunday lunch with FWB and his friends and then later just him and me. And of course not to forget dinner tomorrow with my “Mom’s” group :D
Life is fun :D
Ann – praying for you. Take all the support you can get from Normal guy. You deserve it.
Celeste – Def take ex to the court to get your due. Do you really need a lawyer for that? Can you do it by yourself?
Harley – may be you can start an interior decorating consulting business and charge a small fee (much less than the interior decorators). That way you will get clients and be able to exercise your hobby. And totally get some guys to help you. Werent you talking about a taxi stand you pass by or construction workers or something?
Today is Vi’s birthday – Happy birthday VIOLET!!!
November 11, 2014 at 9:33 am #374009HarleyYes. . I wished her Happy Birthday. I did not get the chance to get a lateral promotion at work but oh well…I don’t mind…I shall be busy enough with house. Hugs to everyone.
November 11, 2014 at 11:17 am #374038buttercupHey girls, I’m out on date number 4 tonight!
My motivation has stuck and I decorated room number 4 this last weekend! Hmm, which room next….
This week I’ve been supporting a friend.
My beautiful male friend, singer guy, is so unhappy right now. I’ve been his shoulder to cry on and have seen him 5 days out of 10, with contact everyday too.
He’s confided in me, and only me, about his current situation. He’s so different to any other guys.
Whereas on here we’re told guys aren’t texters, guys pull back from emotions and feelings, this guy is the opposite.
After his latest relationship failed this week, he entrusted me to look after his phone for a week so he couldn’t make contact. He wanted me to read their text messages and give him my opinion. And if any texts came in while the phone was in my care, he wanted me to read them. Now thats trust dont you think!
He is so deep. I’ve never seen a man write so much about his feelings and his heart. But she seems to pull back when he gets deep. I can see why some women would freak at his openness, however I know him, and I know this is how he is, and I know he’s not stalker ish or crazy, he’s just a very feeling person.
He cried in my lap yesterday.
I dont even know why I’m writing this. I just dont know how to help him and being the only one who knows his situation I cant talk about it to our other friends.
Every bit of advice I try and give him, sounds like all the advice people keep giving me. Me and him are like the same person! Both too forgiving, both too tolerant, both accept bad behaviour for too long, both go back for more of the same hoping it’ll be different this time. I hear myself telling him to get some self respect, which is exactly what people said to me.
How do I help my broken friend!!!
November 11, 2014 at 1:47 pm #374080HarleyJust be there.He has to learn the hard way to pull back a bit and protect himself. perhaps he freaked the girl out, perhaps she just was not that into him. Just listen, comfort and be a friend.
November 11, 2014 at 2:26 pm #374097buttercupI’ve said that too him every time she goes cold on him.
She asks for space. He gives it. She ends it. She blocks him. 2 weeks later she’s back, I want u I love you, month later rinse lather repeat…
I’m running out of advice! He’s worse than me for picking bad partners!!
As u say, just be there I suppose. Nothing else I can do. I’m taking him for some healing tomorrow.
(this is the guy I believe is my soulmate. Everyone says we should be together. It just never has happened!)
November 11, 2014 at 3:01 pm #374100mariaTo move forward in life he needs to learn from his mistakes (we all do). Explain that to him.
You two should make a pact to choose better partners for yourselves (or better yet, choose each other) (perhaps THAT IS to use the pact in best possible way) (only you and him know if it is)…
November 12, 2014 at 3:44 am #374184HarleyHa ha. I’m with the choosing each other !!! hope everyone good today. I’m fine. lashing rain here. picked my Windows up last night and have a horrid cold now. time to self medicate .
November 12, 2014 at 4:34 am #374185mariaWell, the romantic me says “choose each other” too, but the sensible me says “don’t”…
To be totally honest… I don’t think you and him are a match… at least not right now… he seems unstable, and you certainly don’t need that… plus, you said earlier that you can’t imagine kissing him and that is not a good sign…
Soo, it’s probably best if you just keep being there for him… as a friend… I still think the pact to choose better partners for yourselves is a good idea though…
November 12, 2014 at 5:03 am #374186Harleymmn…I’ve a feeling the two of them could become totally dependent on each other. ..either a match made in heaven or a disaster. I think he’s another guy that needs fixing and B…doesn’t need to go there again !
November 12, 2014 at 5:14 am #374187mariaExactamente !
November 12, 2014 at 6:22 am #374192buttercupYes he is a man that needs fixing. Friends it is for now.
I’m enjoying my new man too much anyway!
We did the deed last night!!!!!
November 12, 2014 at 7:19 am #374193HarleyWoohoo. .Delighted for you. You are a completely changed woman theses days. your posts are sooo happy and positive. like a Wight has been lifted off you. You are finally having fun and an easy romance. I am sooo happy for you.
November 12, 2014 at 7:58 am #374199mariaWell… hip hip hooray !!!
Was it good? Great? Everything you though and hoped it would be? Tell, tell, tell…
November 12, 2014 at 8:18 am #374203buttercupIt was great! No pressure at all.
Only the 4 th date I know, but he hadn’t tried it on at all beforehand, even though this was the third visit to his home.
I wanted to do it even though he was willing to wait if thats what I wanted.
He really is lovely. Very cuddly and affectionate too.
I thought it would be a bit weird getting naked with someone I went to school with all those years ago but it was really comfortable.
He’s made contact today, telling me I’m gorgeous and that he’s feels really special today!
I cant stop smiling actually!
November 12, 2014 at 8:18 am #374204SherriYay BC
My date was good yesterday. I did not really expect it to be. I would like to meet him one more time. But he hasn’t messaged me yet. So lets see :)
November 12, 2014 at 8:42 am #374212HarleyB…I like this guy. sounds like you are onto a good thing. Sherri. ..wait it out and see. Maria. .hope you not missing O too much.
November 12, 2014 at 8:46 am #374214SherriOh yeah Harley…. I am planning to wait it out. I have not gone back to crazyville :D don’t worry ;)
November 12, 2014 at 9:00 am #374217mariaAww, that’s soo cute B… (yes Harl, it makes me think of O a little, but in a good way, in a I’m soo happy for B way)…
He really does seem like a great guy… in fact so great that you can just sit back, relax, take it all in and decide how YOU feel… and you seem to feel FINE… so ALL good so far…
Yup, let’s wait and see Sherri…
