    i agree sazzy, christmas has become far too commercialised, i've really cut down on present buying this year, have hand knitted a few gifts too.
    beginning to think wants to lead a single life as well as one of a couple lol
    just taking it one day at a time, and see what happens. we are hoping to go to the coast on 21st this month, just for the night, as both boys on a school camp, so we can have a bit of quality time together.
    he has said in a text today, that we dont seem to have fun together anymore, i pointed out it takes effort on both parts, and shopping this time of year, which we have been doing, does not appeal to me. i like the peace and quiet of the coast, i find it relaxing.
    hugs all

  • Sorry I haven't been around much. Things have been very up and down with a couple of overdoses, hospital, crisis team, it has been a lot to deal with.

    So how have you all been?

    Shaz, I'm sorry to hear that things aren't going too well with you and Ian at the moment. I hope he starts treating you better and that things begin to improve. You deserve the best.

    Katie, I'm so glad to hear you've found a nice man. It sounds like he makes you happy and you have a lot of fun together :) Where did you meet him?

    Saz and Gem, how are you both?

    *waves* to everyone else.

    Good morning everyone :hello: Well... I say good morning... I'm sat at my desk still trying to thaw out! It was so cold out first thing, and the tube driver hadn't put the heating on, so it was no warmer on the train either:rolleyes: Anyhoo - on the plus side this is the last horrible monday morning I'll have to do for 2 weeks! :j Just need to get through this week and then no work till 2010! Woop! :beer: :D

    RBK - good to hear from you and big hugs xxx If it helps at all, I hope you know that you can post here anytime hun. We do care about you :kisses3: I'm not too bad, thank you for asking xx Looking forward to the xmas break, as you might have gathered! lol:o

    Shaz - how are you today? FWIW, I think you were right to say to Ian that it takes effort on both parts. Who doesn't want to have fun in life, we all do, but relationships take work don't they, and committment from both sides. I know he's had problems with relationships in the past, but he needs to understand that it's not just about taking the fun stuff and leaving the rest. He can't cherry pick. He's not a kid anymore. Sorry Shaz hun if I'm speaking out of turn but it's just I want you to be happy. Feel free to ignore me, I don't mind:)

    Hope everyone's doing ok.

    Much love to all, have a good day

    Just a quick hello.

    I'll catch up when i'm in a better mood. Flatmate is being a pain and apparently i'm being unreasonable, but I think i'm not.

    I hope you are all well and you are all set for Christmas, if entertaining the event.

    afternoon all, feeling very tired and drained today. seen my cpn, we've spoken about a lot of things, and basically she thinks ian is taking me for a ride.
    dont know if i've mentioned it on here before, but i told her, how i pay for all the holidays, days out, petrol, parking etc. and how he has his money to spend as he likes once his mortgage is paid every month.
    anyway ian's reasoning, is it costs same wether he goes or not :confused: there are three of us(me and kids) and just one of him.
    i'm on benefits, and he works, she thinks he should be contributing financially. my head feels really messed up, and i dont know what to think anymore. will try and get thru xmas and new year and see if anything changes. gotta go back and see her on thursday, as she is concerned about my state of mind right now.
    how can you tell if a man is using you??? :confused:
    sorry for moaning, i do try and bottle up a lot, but then it just all comes out.
    hugs all
