Hi Moo,
I don't post much these days but I read your diary every day just wanted to come out of hiding to say hey and that I hope your ok and as the others have said it's just the snow or lurgy that are preventing you from posting... bug hugs x

Am coming out of my hidey hole just to drop you a quick note.

First of all, I would just like to thank you for bringing a little bit of your world to me. Reading your diary has had many effects (affects?) on me throughout the last few months. You have cheered me up, made me smile and given me a kick up the rear to make a huge change to my life that for some reason i felt i couldn't do for the last year. Your words have given me the strength to move forward with my life.

The clothes you've posted recently are fab! And if you havent already, you can get a pair of leggings for about 3 quid in primark!

I would like to echo everyone in saying that there is always a place for you if you need it (bit creepy from a complete stranger i know... ) down in the south east.

So, anyway.... gushy lurker stuff over, I just want to wish you all an amazingly happy christmas and a wonderful and peaceful and content new year and i look forward to you being back!

Morning all .... and thank you.... again.... sem to be starting a lot of posts off with that lately.

Went to OHs mums on Saturday spending a thoroughly joyful 15 hours in the car, the majority of which was completely stationary on a motorway near Oxford. A motorway which had rather a lot of snowmen and dog walkers. Finally made it to OHs mums a little after midnight to discover that the South of the UK is suffering from a heatwave. Wandering round in t-shirts rather than thermals was v. nice but a bit of a shock when we got a phonecall yesterday to say that despite leaving the heating running an overhead pipe had burst transforming our humble abode into a paddling pool. Arrived home and spent most of the evening mopping. Things aren't as bad as they could have been but a nameless someone got mouthy around midnight and rambled for quite some time about all my inadequacies finally offering to leave. I graciously accepted. Not a clue whether he'll remember that this morning. The accusations flying were farcical. Turns out hes been trying to get to an AA meeting for over 6 weeks but I keep preventing him. Quite how hes figured that one out is beyond me. Still I helpfully pointed out that I'd drop him off at todays one if he liked, that way even being over the limit for driving wouldn't be a problem. I get the distinct impression its not going to be a pretty Christmas however I can always take the DDs to my dads if he does depart today or tomorrow, that way they'll still have a pretty normal time. Bet nothing happens though, that would be far too easy.

Still plans for today involve the continued chucking out of random soggy items, none of which we needed to keep in the first place. Have a mahoosive pile of laundry to do, am just glad the sofa covers and wot not are machine washable, hopefully because I've washed them before they've dried they won't end up with a high tide mark.

What a miserable time, Moo. Poor you. Did it at least mean you could leave the in-laws early? I wish I could offer practical help, but in the absence of that I send good vibes and hope that your Christmas is as happy as it can be in the circumstances. You know you have lots of support on here - I hope that can be of some comfort.

Sending you big hugs moo,sorry your having a cr*p time of it at the moment, my dad was an alcoholic so kinda know how hard things are for you, even though my mum tried to shelter us from it when we were kids we still knew things were not ok, got worse when we were teenagers and mum finally left him when i was 22, he was never violent to mum, hit my brother when he was 15, by this time bro was bigger than him and had him pinned to a wall, awful to see. I think the verbal abuse was the worst thing and the fact he could never remember how truly nasty and awful he could be, yet sober he was the most lovliest man ever.
what i'm trying to say is please think about the children, when my dad died of liver failure at 52, i talked to mum about it and why she stayed with him so long, she said she was trying to keep the family together and didn't want to let us down, i told her i wished she had left when we were little at least then we wouldn't have had to walk on eggshells all the time, pandering to a selfish man who put the bottle before his children, i still don't understand and as a child used to think if i was better behaved etc etc would things have been different, i know now it wasn't mine or my siblings fault but when your a child and don't understand things you do blame yourself.

I'm not trying to make you feel guilty moo of bad about yourself, just want you to think of the girls and the effect it WILL have on them. Hugs to you and take care, maybe he needs a shock to make him change.

*hugs*

I'm glad you're back, as you can see there are a lot of people here who care about you even though we're Internet People.

I'm sorry that Mr Moo is being such a !!!!!! at the moment. Hopefully he gets himself to AA and has an epiphany, but if not then please take care of yourself and the girls first of all.

Maybe Santa will bring you a new start for Christmas?

We all love you, stay strong and take care. *extra hugs*
