    Good morning - happy birthday for yesterday!!!! I didn't get a chance to get on a pc to say it yesterday.

    Glad you enjoyed the film - we did too, can't wait for the dvd!! We're at my mum's in Weston Super Mare right now, I'm leaving the girls here later and off out in Bath later, where I live. Had a fab day at a theme park type place yesterday, though we all ended up bruised and dizzy! And apart from the entrance fee (which i put £20 of tesco vouchers towards), i only spent 90p - no drinks, food or ice cream, took our own!

    Have a lovely, cheap day:p

    :beer:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Does anyone remember that playboy casino offer a while back?? They've just sent me an email saying as I haven't been there for a while they're offering me a tenner if I bet on a casino game (same offer as the original one) .... so severalminutes later I've deposited 25.00, bet 1p ;) ,been credited with 10.00 bonus and withdrawn 34.99 :j :j Oh if only all money-making was this easy :rotfl:

    Thanks for posting this, benben, this is exactly the kind of information I need about how to make risk-free profits from these casino offers that pop up all over the place. Ta!

    Evening :D Just got back from the bbq, we had a great day out, ds played really nicely again with the other kids there, lots of fun and food, and I only spent 89p on some milk today ;):D
    It was strange really as the bbq was walking distance from where I used to live (with ex) and where I was so incredibly unhappy. I thought going back there would stir it all up again but it didn't, it just made me realise how settled I am down here and how I'd never go back there in a million years :D

    Brilliant. Well done to you Benben.

    I had a nasty last relationship (I'm married now to a fab fella so I'm well over it) and was very unhappy. He got quite aggressive and violent etc and made me very unhappy. Mind you, him sleeping with the girl next door (not the first time he'd cheated I might add) when we were living in the US was enough to open my eyes.

    May as well tell you it now, he woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me...then when I got home after work he said what happened was (prepare yourselves....this is fab) he fell asleep in the hot tub with her. Dreamed they had sex then woke up and saw her there so he assumed they had. He checked with her though and it turns out it was just a dream after all! Ha ha. Brilliant.

    Anyway, the point of all this was that its brilliant when you realise that your completely over it and in a much better place. Well done to you for being so strong and working through it all. I imagine having a child makes it that much harder.

    YEY BENBEN!!

    twinklie that is a fab tale!!! I bet the gerbil ate his homework when he was at school too :rolleyes: :T

    Benben I am glad it made you realise that you are in a much better place. I have had the same thing happen on a couple of occasions - where I have almost dreaded going back for fear of realising what I was missing (not relationship based though) and that feeling of relief when actually, it doesn't bother you in the slightest is amazing!!!

    Good for you!
