    It's the local paper aspect that is worrying me the most. My ex's family live in the same area as me, and they won't be slow to spread the news around my (small) town if I am in the paper.

    I really have no idea on how to handle the gossipy / snide comments that are bound to follow. :confused:

  • do you know anyone that actually reads that part of the paper though? I wouldn't worry about it, as Phil said earlier todays news is tomorrows fish and chip wrapping

    Just remember why you are doing it, and how you will be able to sleep at night after. Sod the gossips

    I'm searching the Gazette and there are quite a few people I know (in my town) on there!

    I don't feel so bad now :-)
