Piq will probably find some similarities in something she's said before xx

I was thinking that as I read it! We are identical twins, you and I! Separated by miles and only slightly different to the naked eye by height, age, colouring and hobbies....other than that, no difference whatsoever!

Oh no
Penguin boy is my exexexexexexex breathes ex - of ??10 years on and off and on and currently off again

OH is aware of penguin boy and has be subjected to his on/off ness a couple of times and OH's patience quite rightly whilst there is growing thin with Penguin chops.

My brain on the other hand is wired stupidly and hasn't got probably wont get over penguin chops ever - whilst I am realistic and OH understands - penguin chops is a bone of constant contention.

So cue penguin chops being stupid and me feeling carp and life just chugging along as it always does.

One of the dogs is penguin chop's dog - and all of his worldly belongings including his ex fiance (me) and his ex stuff and his ex life live in our house I take the occasional fit and put stuff on ebay but the whole of his life is pretty much still with us - except him.

He's back next April - by which time I hope I have discovered a way to get to pluto cos currenlty 8,000 miles clearly isn't enough.

I think most people end up with someone like this in their lives to one degree or another. Mine is an ex who messed me about then dumped me claiming I was the one who had been mean to him! Cue him (after he'd been drinking) to say he wanted me back, only when he was sober to say he wasn't sure and couldn't face his friends. Rinse and repeat many times! Fast forward a number of years and he CLAIMS there's a girlfriend (there was but he cheated repeatedly), yet still texts me when he's drunk saying he should never have let me go!

So I can sympathise Fay, never really got over him. Just realised my OH is a million times better than my jerk of an ex and at least he wouldn't run a mile if I had a problem.....like now!

Yeah that's so true isnt it.

My OH current one - knows this and is patient.

He (OH) has the better job, the better attitude, a house, a life, shows more respect, etc etc etc - why do the other ones just push different buttons.

My problem is that I take people on face value and believe everything they say.

Even now.

Bad vibes here - roomy (soon to be lodger or so I thought lodger) has decided ......

"you know what I dont know what to do will I move in with you or wont I."

Screaming hormones dictates that the biggest book on my shelf will soon hurtle towards his head.

Logic dictates the 300 a month is a blow if he doesnt decide to come but its not the end of the world

The other bit of me thinks - hmm mabye say nothing and its a lucky escape.

The room is clean and sorted - its either spare or ready to let - so its not a big huge deal I guess.

SAy nothing sound like a lucky escape IMHO,
if his dithering about a week before he's due to move in he could well be a pain in the jacksee once in ,
if he went to the main land on a course Id imagine him to say , well I dont have to pay the full amount for those three days as I wasnt here

still what do I know ,
cause Im also thinking you should say something like
"I need a 100% answer by XX as if you dont want it I will put an advert in XXX to get someone, I can be messed about any longer."

so whats he going to do if he doesnt move in with you ? can he stay where he is ?

Listen to the hamster, he's talking sense - holding self back from adding funny comment...

Bob's idea's great too, I'd come and stay. I haven't had a holiday for ages
