    I won, phew.

    It's 30 days until my little trip, so I'm starting the EA Active challenge tomorrow and giving up drinking. That's gotta make a difference to the weight / fitness.

    hmmmm... so you think the latter stages of your marriage were boring....... tell me more about that........


    *pats couch....* :p:D:rotfl:

    :rotfl: Oh cool, free therapy!

    Well, he was physically and emotionally distant, I can count the compliments he gave me during our 11 year relationship on one hand, even when I started making more of an effort with my appearance, wearing nice clothes, flirty underwear, always doing hair and make-up, he barely glanced at me. He made me feel uninteresting, unattractive, unsexy. He was only interested in work, dinner, TV, sleep. Bedroom activities still happened (although he rarely initiated it) but were routine and....um.....unfulfilling. :whistle: I might as well have not been there basically. :rolleyes:

    Every evening he watched TV in silence, and I would retreat to the safety of DFW to talk to my lovely mates.

    He's not a bad person, he just stopped making an effort for me, and stopped putting his family first (he even admitted that work was his priority, above me and the kids!).

    Bet you wish you'd never asked now! :rotfl:

    Evening all.


    Well, so much for relaxing day in the sun and nice bbq for tea...

    mopped kitchen and dining room, cleaned fridge out, hoover, 3 loads of laundry, clean kitchen-including wasking down walls and doors, dusted downstairs and loads of other daft jobs as well. THEN, went to Aldi and managed to spend £75 on groceries. Came home, got bbq ready for the in-laws and SIL and her son and then cleaned it all up and did all the dishes-have just sat down about a flippin HOUR ago!

    9 more days of work before 2 weeks off-oh, and WMC have requested my medical records so all going ahead as pplanned-slightly stressed about it-I told them about my PND but there are few things I didn't put on and it worries me....

    Awww, I like Jacks, I wish she posted more often. She's always so warm and full of common sense (not to mention slightly nuts :D).

    What does 'BB code size value is too big' mean in relation to siggy's ?? I am trying to change my NSD total and I get this message? I only have 2 lines in my sig.

    Means you're trying for too large a font size.
