    Thank you. I feel truly !!!!. I know I have hurt him. He was doing that 'rational and logical' thing that men do when they are trying to cover feelings.

    At least when I told Shrek where to go, I had the hate and the anger to get me through it.

    I just like Mr Sunday too damn much.

    awww snags honey, i'm sorry it hasn't worked out. I did get a reply to my email but it pretty much said nothing other than how wonderful she thinks he is and how she would rather he was her brother than the one she has. Then she went on to say we must get together soon etc. So that's no help at all. I will find out what his previous is... only that will be when i can pin her down to a bottle of wine so no good to you now.

    Mates was never going to work though was it, there were too many complications, and feelings. You get to be mates with someone by having stuff in common and getting to know them on an even playing field, not by starting off dating, moving to the next level then one of you decides it's time to be friends. No friend ever makes you feel the way mr sunday is making you feel right now.

    Thanks sweetie, he IS a great guy and would have been a lovely friend if I could have stopped thinking of him as more than that.

    He was very naive to think taking such a huge step back would work. I wish he had been a little bit braver.

    Ah well, no point dwelling on it. He has my phone charger and asked if I wanted him to drop it off while I was there or put it through the letter box while I was out, so I guess he's not a complete coward, but I'd rather not see him, so he's going to call round with it while I'm at work.

    Quite thoughtful really - Shrek never did return the things he has of mine. Maybe I should email him and ask for them! :rotfl:

    Off to bed now to try and sleep and not just dwell on things.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Sorry if I'm bothering anybody but I just had to write this down as my I've just told my Mum this and she said she was ashamed of me.

    Just after schools broke up we had a holiday booked in Cornwall, we went, I drove all the way there - big acheivement as i am scared to death of motorways, we only made two stops- not bad with a 3 year old. Had a fantastic holiday, weather not great but found plenty to do and kids loved it.

    One night we went for a meal at a pub/restuarent called Smugglers Den (or maybe Inn) and there was lots of news at the time of people dying whilst surfing etc, we were driving back and saw this sign for "Holywell Beach" so I bundled the kids out of the car and we walked(for what seemed like ages) to this beach, it was beautiful, lovely night but the sea looked so far away but we carried on and suddenly it was like a light bulb moment and I thought "b*gger this, rolled all our jeans up, took off our shoes and ran around the beach, paddling in the sea, DS climbing up sand dunes and laughed like I haven;t laughed in what seems like ages. There were people walking dogs, couples holding hands, surfers coming out of the sea and EVERY ONE of them smiled and laughed at us and I felt free, I had this smile on my face which seemed to be getting bigger by the minute and it suddenly occured to me that the people who were smiling at us, did not even take notice of my weight, my face, my body everything, all, all they saw was us smiling and laughing and enjoying ourselves, they just liked seeing us happy - of course I don't know these people from adam but since that evening I have felt different. We went back to the caravan, tired, wet covered in sand and I felt so happy I could burst, that night was the best I've slept since you know what.

    I was free, i was me, i had my beautiful children and somewhere in that beautiful sunset a very special person was watching us with a great big smile on his face. I have never felt like that before and whilst the pain is still there and always will be, I shed tears when I remember that evening because i was so happy and had a "couldn't care less" attitude to whatever people think of me.

    I had to share and I didnt know where else to post so apologies - by the way I told my Mum (awful actually and I am ashamed) to p*ss off. Another new thing for me, hope there is lots more

    End of another random post. Bye!!


    Missed this but so glad to see your post.

    Weller711 - if I had any power I would command you to have wonderful days like this every week.

    Andy loved you and the children. He would want you and them to have glorious days, to enjoy life and to live to your full potential.

    If you have had to cope with a mother who thinks Eeyore was an irresponsible frolicker, I can understand why you find things scary and think you lack confidence.

    Love, hugs and best wishes.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
