    Im calm enough to tell you now whats happened:

    Ex OH has been texting me constantly, every day, telling me he misses me, hes sorry, am I ok for money, can I help you out? Blah blah etc etc. I have not seen him or accepted any help from him (thanks to you flyladies!)

    He went to visit his sisters supposedly and has been away about 3 weeks now - texting me the whole time.

    Well, I found out - he isnt at his sisters at all.... guess where he is??

    I will give you all a guess..... Go on, have a go..... Lets see if any one else gets it!!

    jo.. there are two magic words that i find are extremely useful in such circumstances.. the second being 'OFF' I am certain you can guess what the first is! i would text those 2 simple very functional words to XOH and tell him right where he can get off.. cheeky git.. sometimes I REALLY hate men.. why are they so horribble? .. big hugs hun.. hope you can get him off your back..

    Decluttered food.. I now have 5 homemade dinners in the freezer for Jacob.. what are the bets that I end up with the empty tubs back here to fill up for him again?

    Hugs Jo, hope you are ok. He sounds like a [Rosepink’s word for an idiot] and I’m really glad you can see through him and know what he’s really like

    Hi Jenny! Nice to see you! Redundancy and a written off car are a big deal, so don’t worry about moaning about it. It’s a tough and worrying thing to have to cope with

    Hugs Johanne

    Well done Miss A for making the lasagne! I can’t even do that!

    Hugs Frodders

    Orkney I’m so glad you found your photos! What a relief for you

    Big hugs Helen and family, hope tomorrow goes well

    Hugs Elly

    1 Step, really sorry to see you go, please try and post even if you can’t read the thread. Hope things get better for you

    I've done really well today, am quite proud of myself! Have done washing up and cooked dinner all by myself which I haven't done in ages as I haven't felt up to cooking. Very pleased! And dinner only cost a grand total of £3.40 for the two of us! LOL! We had mash (free pots from FIL), fish cakes (4 for £2), salad (£1.40) and DH had corn on the cob which was also free! Very :money:

    I'm really looking forward to tomorrow as I have a chill out morning planned - got a dvd I want to watch and am going to potter about doing the LR floor while I'm watching it.

    I've also started th WM and tidied up the kitchen floor a bit
