    Fedupandshimmers - hugs lovie - you're making yourself your no 1 priority so I know its hard but I do think you've done the right thing - if he's not with you anymore - he needs to give you some space (however much that hurts...x)

    Hugs to Gien, Budge & Fedup&sparkles, as MP says, different things for all of you but all in need of a hug ((((()))))

    Off to stick the meatloaves in the oven and peel the potatoes, we got away fairly lightly in toysrus, only a DS game and a cuddly panda for DS (DS has a passion for panda bears...) and a 60pc pencil and pen set for DD2 so she didn't feel left out. Got fresh cream belgium buns for afties and a box of reduced Terrys chocolate orange mini segments to share over XF tonight :D

    Please do, plenty to go round, bought 2 meatloaves as 1 is not enough and as DD1 is out there's extra spare for you, I'll peel some extra tatties and put on some extra cauliflower. We are also having yorkshire puds with it as DD2 will only eat a meal if a yorkie's on the side :rolleyes: :D

    See you at 7pm :beer:

    Hurts beyond belief, tears dripping and flowing on and off when I think about him and this situation. Don't want to be without him but he doesn't want me anymore after nearly 12yrs.

    Hey ho life goes on
