Delly - I agree with what others have said, don't worry about downloading on this thread. I certainly don't mind if it's not strictly 'on topic' and you're amongst friends as you know.

Sending positive thoughts and a virtual hug your way.

I am now official 39:rotfl: (yeah, right!)

Just tell people you're £39.99 plus p&p like I do!

I've been claiming to be 39 again for quite a few years, but as my daughter will be 30 next month I might have to come clean - I started early, but not THAT early!

I don't remember Elvis but I definitely remember Dunblane and of course 9/11, as well as where I was when Diana died (in Brighton) - why can't we all know where we were when something happy happened?

the death of elvis was a total non event in our house so I have no memory of it (sorry if that's blasphemous:D ). I guess everyone who was around remembers England winning the world cup? (A bit too young, me).
Love the p&p suggestion lois.

I'll never forget the London bombings on 7/7 as I was walking to a tube station with my son's class about to get on a train for a trip in town. My OH rang me on my mobile to warn me that there were problems with the tube and I stopped the group to talk to the teachers. The delay meant that we arrived just as the station was closing! We went back to school and saw the reports on the staff room TV. All mobiles then went dead as I tried to ring the parents I knew to let them know that we didn't get on a train!

I rmember the death of Elvis too, mainly cause I spooked myself and thought that I could see his face looking at me through the kitchen window - I was very young!

Hi Folks,

Just another quick update. We spent some time alone together yesterday afternoon in the place where we first decided it was worth risking our friendship for a relationship 12 years ago (we were friends for about a year before we got together). It was a symbolic thing to mark a fresh start

. I have some really good friends who kept DS for about 4 hours so that we could spend some time together - they were the ones who actually put me up when I walked out on Friday night. I went to friends because I didn't want to involve family. I knew that my friends would be able to move on but was unsure if my family could forgive my OH if they knew what he'd done and didn't want to risk a possible reunion.

We've decided that Relate is probably a good idea as OH does have problems talking to me. He's not as affectionate as he used to be towards me before this person came into our lives, whereas I feel that I've been a lot more clingy and needing reasureance than ever before. I'm not sure if that's a permanent change but we have agreed to some changes - the gaming is to be cut back on and we're to spend more time together on common interests. We've agreed that we need at least 1 night per month going out as a couple and that we're going away together soon. He is going to pursue some of the interests he believed he put off because of me.

Don't worry, I'm not making all the compromises here. I've asked for more help around the house and more intimate time together as well as more family time and time with our friends.

Just time for one more quick explaination before DS has a meltdown. - The woman who was involved in our relationship (I've promised we'll not talk about her again) knew what she was coming into - She doesn't believe that she can have children herself and was coming into a ready made family - MINE!:mad: I don't know who to be more angry at - her, him or me for allowing her into my home when I wasn't comfortable with the emerging friendship in the first place.

Anyway the official WI result this week on the highly successful :rotfl: but not highly recommended:rolleyes: heartbreak diet is.



-5lbs!

Hi Delly

Glad things seem to be back on track,

I'm not surprised you were a bit more clingy. With all this going on I'd be more surprised if you weren't! It will take time to trust him again so don't expect yourself to be able to change immediately - his actions caused you to change in the first place.

How has the slagbag taken the news? I'd love to give her a ........piece of my mind (I'm trying to be restrained!).

5lbs!!!!Well done!

Take care.

Glad you are both trying to work things out Delly. As you say, take it one day at a time and remember to give yourself quality time in all of this.
Scary story Tagz, glad you didn't make the tube!

Brighton_belle

Delly - total respect with the way you are moving forward with this, even from the beginning by going to friends not family. & I appreciate you hearing that we want to know whatever you are ready to tell us in order to offer our support too. I echo what Tagz & bails have said this morning. I'm really pleased he has agreed to relate. It shows his commitment to want to try and work things out, and I also believe could really help. I so hope so.Thinking of you today.

I'm up ridiculously early for me but woke up very early and couldn't get back to sleep so am making myself busy now in anticipation of crashing back to bed later. Washing is on. 2nd loaf of HM bread now done and much more sucessful than the first. Waiting for OH's verdict when he returns from work as he has taken sandwiches. Was wearing a skirt all yesterday while baking and it's unusual enough for OH to comment on it and recokn I'll be wanting an arga next:rotfl: haha what I really want is a remoska.

Had a lousy headache yesterday which left me drained which always makes me eat more (which I think) is to subsciously try and get my energy up. The only thing that worked in the end was 6 gingernut biscuits. Which is a bit annoying but needs must .

Hello all! Right, here it is, a very rare multi-lb loss from Missy

3.0lb off this week! Yep, 3.0lb not 0.3lb

These holiday losses are far too easy and such a cheat compared to the much smaller ones I really have to work for, but I don't get those type of results very often so I'll enjoy it! Especially as I'm under my target BMI 21 again which was my goal to have achieved by next week, not this week

So back to 'maintaining' although I am still on the weight loss trail this week in case I gain a bit after I've had my op when I'll be inactive

Going to a birthday lunch today, glad that's after weigh in and not before

Well done on your weight loss Delly, good luck to everyone else weighing today!
