    Thanks, Budgielicious :) I'm trying to be pragmatic & view it that i've done all I can right now. This place is immaculate (& normally pretty clean & tidy anyway) so I'll just wait til Tuesday & take it from there :)

    My heart goes out to all those with adulterous friends. It's utterly horrible to be in the middle of it all.

    I fell out with one of my longest friends a couple of months back. To cut a long story short I went out with his wife (also a friend of mine but he was a friend first iyswim) and she got very drunk and snogged a stranger, wouldn't come home with me, and I had him on the phone to me at 4am asking where she was. She also admitted to me being in love with someone else and having doubts even on her wedding day. To carry that around with me was horrible. Eventually she left him, I told him about that night we went out (saved the other details!)as it had been bugging me for months.

    Yep you guessed it. I'm the nasty home wrecker. All of it is my fault. etc etc.
    It hurts to lose friends at any time but, and this sounds pompous you have to weigh up the value of them. All goes back to changing your life when you stop drinking. You see people with out your 'beer goggles' on.

    I still don't know if I did the right thing or not but it doesn't really matter now.

    I was involved with a married man for some time. He really was the love of my life and I still think of him often. He promised me the earth, begged me to wait for him etc. When the !!!! hit the fan...as it always does. He wanted me to lie to his wife and say that I was crazy and had made it all up. What a !!!!!!. I like to think now, or certainly in the near future that I will have the sobriety to make some more sensible decisions!!

    Apologies for the deep and meaningful post. Must be the sudafed!

    Hello to all on this cold and dark Sunday afternoon... :hello:

    Have been reading through the thread and what a day!! Hope everyone is OK.

    I've been asleep for most of it - I haven't been sleeping well and thought I would use my last day off work to get some proper sleep so I got up around 3pm.

    HB - argh mice are a pain in the 'arris. None in my flat (even the spiders shun it for the relative warmth of the outdoors!) :rotfl:but we used to have one at least in the flat I shared last year. The other tenants were a bit hippy and didn't mind them, but it definitely contributed to me leaving. They would not trap them even humanely!!

    I am thinking along the lines that I have no money left and should I just finish the 3/4 bottle of wine in my fridge today and start afresh tomorrow, sort of along the lines of Jo's suggestion to BHB?? I CAN'T pour it away - that would be sacrilege :eek::D There's no booze on next week's Sainsbug order, just non-alcoholic red wine for cooking and lots of sparkly water and diet cokes!
    I really want to chalk up another AF day but if I finish the wine today then I think it's more likely that the week will be AF.... that probably makes no sense!

    *slinks off to make a cup of coffee and crack open the Cheddars*

    Oh Marru *hugs*

    That's such a sad story abour your friend; I always think it's better to know but how sad that you lose a friendship over just being honest :(

    And as for married men, not a proud bear of this fact but I know that tale. Mine didn't have the same ending though it was all horrible. When I saw the light I couldn't shake the dust off my feet fast enough. It remains the worst thing I have ever done

    Mrs BHB has just had a read through today's events and said - I quote - "No wonder that I am thirteen stone as I would have eaten the remaining chocolate"

    What can I say :confused::confused:-

    Once a hillbilly's wife - always a hillbilly's wife :D

    I love her anyway ;)


    ETA. Forgot to add that the Springer Spaniel has just come back from the vets with several stitches and even some under the skin .....(Ouch) and the vet has said I need antibiotics too ..... now who needs a doctor with a vet like ours :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    :) Embrace your inner Hillbilly :)

    Apparently I'm a 'HillBessy's Husband', as opposed to Mrs BHB being a 'HillBilly's wife' :confused:
