If it cheers any of you up, the lovely Piglet just found an old furry raisin on the floor (I'm a fab housewife:rolleyes:), came running towards me to show me, tripped and the raisin went flying through the air and straight down my cleavage. Having kids is fab............

I'm sorry to laugh at your misfortune but that's frickin' hilarious! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks for all the virtual hugs.

Unfortunately the hugs are not making any difference to how I feel. Don't any of you lot get upset with how I feel.

Wish I could work it out with him, wish wish wish it would work out together.

Maybe it will and he does a u-turn or it won't.

Alcohol is not being used as a coping strategy, I am feeling all the pain on my own regardless. I know alcohol will not change a thing and in all likeliness make me feel a whole lot worse

My friend split up with his OH a year ago and he is still devastated about it. I imagine it must be very hard for you Fedup.:grouphug:

I am doing rubbish with the AF-ness. I started off well this month too.:rolleyes:

What a good idea! A sunny autumn day is a great way to clear all those muddled thoughts. I'm going out there too shortly, planning to fill myself with lungfuls of fresh air and get positive for the weekend.

Thanks Fay. Sorry to hear about the nasty ex.:mad:

Pippilongstocking

Thanks 115k - I should know better - he's always like this, at least its consistent - and I guess to be fair he just wants to have them all to himself - I get them 24/7 for most of the year so I should cut him some slack really and count my blessings that they live with me.

Waves to all

Marru

Hello,

Just a fleeting visit as away for the weekend and without DD this time. She has already been placed at friends so I only need to pack for myself and get going.

Lots of virtual hugs to everybody!!!

Fay, I will be after Saturday on 15 AFD please. Won't commit to Sunday yet but should be ok as coming back late.

clarabell13

Meant to say earlier 15/20 for me please Fay

Went for my walk earlier but the sun went in as soon as I got there. Hey ho still got a red nose and cheeks, and not from alcohol :rotfl:

Off to choir practice soon so hope you all have a relaxing evening.
