You are absolutely right maz...doesn't make it any easier though hey! Stupid thing is I care about what happens to him (I might not forever I know) and I know him better than he thinks and I truly believe that actually he's not particularly happy, I know he's made his bed and I shouldn't worry but I do! Im mourning the loss of a companion more than anything because actually thats all we have been for a long time. Its very easy to pretend that you are a happy family and everthing is great...reality is that it was shiite, still miss that shiite though at the moment.
Anyway, onwards and upwards
i totally get it.... i was more reffring to the practical stuff babes.... emotionally it's a whole other level of personal that i wouldnt even begin to guess how you must be feeling....
Altho i doubt you will ever be a grade a slapper like me, being single can be fun... and remember my friend lovely rob will be waiting in the wings to take you out for a drink, when you are ready.......I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candle-light, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimps, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.
When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain rods.
She then cleaned up the kitchen and left... When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days.
Then slowly, the house began to smell.
They tried everything; cleaning, mopping and airing the place
out.
Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned.
Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days; and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting.
Nothing worked!!!
People stopped coming over to visit…
Repairmen refused to work in the house.
The maid quit.
Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house.
Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to
return their calls.
Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a
new place.
The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going.
He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that
she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her
divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house.
Thinking his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a
price that was about 1/10 th of what the house had been worth,
but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.
She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.
A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home........
And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods
I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

Looks like we're in the same boat. I'm viewing flats this Sat in London. Unfortunately, they're anything but cheap! :eek: Can't wait to move in with OH (1st time I've called him that ) so I'm not that fussed about the cost, as long as we're together.
