John Stones #28 sticking things in his mouth…we wish he’d stick his thing in our mouths

[LurkingAnnie]

This leads to my extremely dull life right now... we've been together but with a small break for almost 13 years and yeah now i live vicariously through my fics

Yeah - Same
My days post uni were my wild ones

You made the right choice

He bloody knows it too… windmilling round the place all the time

Where’s @Violetroselily

do we think she’s on a train to @cobette so she can get in the suitcase?

 

[cobette]

Have you set your alarm? How are you getting to the airport?

5.30 alarm My daddy is taking us through.

Attempted one last danger wank, caught again, was new one and couldn't remember which button to turn it off quickly. Had to pretend what he was saying was hilarious to drown out the sound.

 

[rasperryripple]

Right, the crush. You get the cons first so you don't get your hopes up.

Spoiler: Cons

We work together closely enough that it'd probably be a problem.
He's not my boss but he is a level above me in the hierarchy so potentially mild power dynamics ickiness.
He's a real outdoorsy active type which obviously I'm not.
Extroverted and sociable and has a million friends, which, if we're being truly honest, simply wouldn't work with my whole weirdo loner vibes. Realistically, would be exhausting.
Taller than me but only just. I'm not convinced VAR would notice the difference. Inevitably I would feel like a big clomping monster.
I belong alone and am OK with that.

And then the pros, so you get where I'm coming from.

Spoiler: Pros

Fit. Not like bae-gorgeous (who is?) but fit in a grinning puppy-dog kind of way.
An actual adult man who mows the lawn and puts up shelves and doesn't need looking after. Emotionally stable in a way men I'm attracted to generally tend not to be.
Properly warm and friendly. Remembers little comments about your life or family and asks engaging follow-up questions next time he sees you. Loves a "what's for tea?" chat.
Really clever and knowledgeable but wears it lightly, helps me if I ask him to but never assumes I won't understand something. No ego - asks me for help when he thinks I know better.
Hilarious in just the way I like. Thinks of a pun and has to let me know about it, then waits eagerly to find out if I can do a better one.

He sounds lovely pros outweigh cons and you are a bit outdoorsy you were out loads on your hols. Good luck x

@strawberrysunshine_x I think this is one of my favourite pictures they both look so good

 

[cobette]

I feel like we’re all as invested in @cobette holiday as she is

I'm so excited to show you guys everything, booked some restaurants yesterday that I'm buzzing for.

 

[mimimithis]

Aaaaaah what is this sorcery? I can get out of here at a normal time!

All I do on holiday is post insta stories

There is definitely times when I pull up WhatsApp to write something and then I’m like, oh, but I’d tell you guys this…

I want to do it, and then keep forgetting. And then I feel awkward about posting something from a few days ago.

Spoken too soon. Someone scratched my car in the parking lot and ran.

 

[livvys]

No because why do I do this to myself I have 2 threads to catch up on
Hope everyone is well
Hope we get to see him play Wednesday

 

[mimimithis]

Before i went to Uni in like sixth form i was like crazy, not sleeping around but would happily kiss anyone haha! The first boy i slept with was a FWB type thing, Then we got together when i was like 18 and this became my life, apart from the breaks.

Spoiler: Real Talk

I enjoy sex, but having known RLF as a scrawny 16yo its sometimes like not as overly sexual as it should be anymore, plus with the breaks i've experienced like mindblowing sex and sometimes the thought of it not comparing whirs in my mind... When we first got together it was a lottt of sex, then not so much then when we had a break i had a LOT of sex, got another boyf during the time for a while and we would be like verging on 10 times in like 48 hours which was unheard of for me before... then when we got back together it was back to how it was before, maybe not as much but enough ... RLF is good but stamina may not be quite there which leads to frustration but since having my little one....

Spoiler: The stuff i dont tell others..

Everything got messed up, due to stitches and issues, things to this day still arent right, so we havent had sex for about 19/20 months or done anything, obvs i've sorted myself out at times, but have been scared more than anything and preoccupied... i honestly feel like i can tell you guys this even though for me its like super private and embarrassing slightly!!

It's perfectly normal, I think the mamas here can - and have described it better than I could, having no kids. I'm really happy to know that we have a place here where we can talk about all of these things, get opinions from different perspectives, and generally just let it out sometimes.

Have you considered talking to a specialist about it? There's help and techniques, and toys that might help you with the issues due to stitches and the dysaesthesia that happens due to the tearing of tissue.

Lots of love!

 

[cobette]

Obviously you wouldn't have left until you'd spoken to him, right?

Have you had your first argument yet?

When you get on the plane
View attachment 1576952

Yes I located him eventually. Poor babies. Hope auntie gets there soon.

Argument pending as he's asking who I am talking to and who is sending me pics of strange men.

Mother has just asked RLF if he's off work on Monday...

 

[lou_claire91]

Loving all these stories... I feel like i have too many to tell...

Spoiler: Round Up

SO RLF and me met at school and i had basically kissed all his friends (done stuff with some of them, sometimes when we were all at the same parties and stuff) before we got together, one of them came to my wedding the other month as we are still best friends...
Me and RLF had a break for a while for possibly similar reasons of not being in the same space, i was about 25/26 i think, ended up hooking up with a 20yo from work who was friends with RLF who worked with me, then i got bored of him within a week or so as he was so flaky at this whole FWB thing so i then slept with his best friend, a Police Officer, behind his back (biggest ive seen ha) I would leave work and he would come to mine and we would fuck all night long then i would go in work and act nice to the FWB boy, HA! Even ended up doing stuff with FWB and then having phone sex with the other talking about what i had done with his friend... very weird... but still, we all remained friends afterwards, i dont see them as much now...
Before i got back with RLF i had a little office flirt with someone, would just message inappropriate things but also would check how i was, till this day he is the only person who still checks in on me from my work, even though he has a gf and a kid too
I had a flirty thing with another one from work too and same we are such good friends!
I swear i could keep on going but i dont think we have the time...

Honestly though those Cons are barriers that are being put up not reasons, give it a chance!! Team Office Date!!

 

[livvys]

Reading these responses makes me so appreciative of the little group we have here.

Free therapy, a wholesome harem, John should be proud

 

[lou_claire91]

Sorry LO had just thrown up all over himself in his bed so just had to go and sort that out... another reason why

Honestly thank you so much girls!!

Spoiler

Do not be embarrassed! It shouldn't be taboo to talk about. Loads of women feel that way after having a baby. Has it caused friction between you? Is he supportive?

@strawberrysunshine_x is right, sometimes when you've been together a long time things like this just happen.

He is super supportive, he is the sweetest man i have ever known, he makes jokes all the time that he'd wait forever for me as he still thinks he's lucky he has me, which i tell him is stupid and to stop being so soppy!!!

Spoiler

despite not having a baby, I can completely sympathise with you…
All my treatment has caused a lot of scar tissue which meant we’ve only really started attempting sex this year. We’ve done other things before this year, but feel inadequate is a complete turn off for me, and that’s generally how I’ve felt.
gaining confidence in my own body has helped a lot, but it’s been really hard work.
Things aren’t perfect for us, and won’t ever go back to how it was, but it’s our new normal - which is why we’ve probs been a bit more rampant recently

Honestly thats exactly it, because i dont feel the same as before with all the additional surgery and still issues ive had afterwards, plus he was the one helping with dressings and listening to me talk about it all, its not like i feel sexy anymore! He is so understanding and i feel like i am almost ready but its just taken that bit of time

It's perfectly normal, I think the mamas here can - and have described it better than I could, having no kids. I'm really happy to know that we have a place here where we can talk about all of these things, get opinions from different perspectives, and generally just let it out sometimes.

Have you considered talking to a specialist about it? There's help and techniques, and toys that might help you with the issues due to stitches and the dysaesthesia that happens due to the tearing of tissue.

Lots of love!

So i had to see a specialist for like 6 months post baby and they gave me the all clear, i have 2 other friends who have gone through the same, i think its that worry that the scar tissue will really hurt and then it will put me off, but i feel like i am almost in the right mindset!!

@strawberrysunshine_x @rasperryripple @Starttheline thank you mama's for making me feel slightly normal!!

Its so nice to have this platform to talk

 

[cobette]

have you located both cats?

Yes, they are both still present.

I am such a homebody I am getting all emosh because I am going to miss you guys and the big stupid boy so much.

 

[LurkingAnnie]

I'm so excited to show you guys everything, booked some restaurants yesterday that I'm buzzing for.

I want to see mickey shaped pancakes!!!

I mean this is definitely the point where I wish we were all exposed so I could follow everyone’s adventures on insta

 

[strawberrysunshine_x]

Thank you. I'm lucky that I could send my damage report online, and I already made an appointment with the garage my car always gets serviced at for tomorrow, so that it can get assesssed and repaired quickly. It's only a matter of who'll have to pay, and I doubt the police will find the culprit. 🙅🏼‍


Best kind of reply, you legend!

That’s so bad. It happens all the time here especially at the super market !! They could have left you a note to apologise ! it looks like they scraped it pretty bad as well.
some people are so selfish aren’t they. Your car looks posh tho I want a BMW

@Violetroselily are you ok

 

[WylieWyles]

Ahhhh, work is crazy today (and will be all week and really until mid November). Got some last minute in-office bullshit dropped on me and my teammate is conveniently WFH 40 min away while I'm only 8 min away so it's just me and no time to dilly-dally today. I'm cramming lunch in my mouth as I type this with one hand.

Gotta leave early for an annual physical with a new GP in the late afternoon, too, and I've had no time to make my list of notes about what I need to discuss. Guess I'm gonna wing it!

Spoiler: Fic stuff

Will comment more on fics here and on AO3 when I get time but @LurkingAnnie I am caught up and I did not find it confusing and also I loved it. Still need to finish AON and catch-up with the Flirty-verse and anything else I have missed. Got distracted last night by ENT/BDE-verse things and didn't read what I had planned to.

Today's moods:

 

[Gossgossgoss9888]

Oh god that’s horrible , about your period. How come you feel like crying. Just because of your time of the month or just everything ? Sometimes crying makes us feel better.
it’s been a lovely day weather wise. And is meant to be nice until next Thursday.
Hope you’re ok . We need bae to sort us all out


It must be the September blues. I cried all weekend

Mostly period nonsense.

Spoiler

Horrible draggy down into the ground, wobbly legged, random aches and pains, tired to my bones feeling. And the endless drudgery of dealing with it.

I have Von Willebrand's which makes every bleed an adventure but am also kind of scared there's something else too. Family history of fibroids and endometriosis and PCOS. Don't much fancy my chances of having avoided everything. But they're all things that don't really have cures and I'm just ignoring the possibility for now.

And I'm so busy at work, and I have to be in the office all week, which means wearing clothes that aren't necessarily the comfiest when I'm all bloaty, and also the constant paranoia of bleeding all over the place.

Mostly am just feeling fragile. Will be okay though.

[cobette]

Have a safe trip!!! And I welcome you in advance to the beautiful East Coast and EST!

Look out for this guy at the airport and don't let the ears fool you - I hear he's a real ladies' man, too. He probably also needs some assistance with dressing for the weather in FL.

View attachment 1576685

Absolutely crying at this. Sweetie you can't come, they won't let you in, you need a certificate. You gotta stay and shag @Violetroselily at the Germany game (after Leroy obv).

Good morning Tattlers! I am on the road. Got in the car and the first song that comes on the radio is Sweet Caroline

 

[strawberrysunshine_x]

I’m really sad to hear everyone’s having a difficult time. That’s not how it should be We need something good happening to us all, and soon.

Insurance have just notified me that they will most likely cover it all, after all, lucky me, but at the garage, the evaluator did scare the living daylights me with extensive talk of having to replace the complete rear bumper including the park distance controls on the same side, which would have been an astronomical amount of money. It isn’t needed, after all - the electrical parts weren’t affected, so it’ll just be the hard shell cover or whatever it’s called.

Also @Gossgossgoss9888 please don’t bleed out, we need you here.

I’m glad insurance is going to pay out.
Hopefully baby will start tomorrow and we can all feel a bit better
My fav duo to sort us out

Pie, Mash, veg and Gravy. Need something stodgy and comforting.

What kind of quiche?

Cheese & onion it was shite I didn’t eat it all

 

[mimimithis]

Oh no, is it bad??

Could have been worse, but it's not pretty.

Spoiler: Kind of a car reveal

I did, thank you! And now, I’m at work. Sigh.

We REALLY need new bae content. I want to see him play.

That was my reaction for being at work, too. Le Sigh. I love working there, I love my team, I adore my ducklings, but it's Monday.

Same. Totally same.

Happy afternoon/morning to you all! First day went well, even got a drawing of a circle which will now proudly stick on the fridge.

Have technically done enough work for today, but could also do with doing a bit more, so might catch up after tea...

This is so cute!!! I'm happy to hear your bb had a great first day!
