Well, I have done next to nothing today. I'm off the caffeine, so am a bit tired. I could also murder something chocolatey, but have decided to get back in control today, rather than use my being at home as another excuse to eat badly!
you should be proud of yourself for doing next to nothing, there is an art to it and it requires years of skillful practice, its called relaxation and we mums really are allowed a bit sometimes xxI can choose happiness whenever I wish no matter what my circumstances

KM - I accept what you say. And perhaps if HE told me that, then I could accept it from him.
What I get though is "I don't know what to say".....not really the same.
If he were to say that the relationship had come to an end, people change, blah blah blah, then at least he would have a reason. As things are at the moment, he has given me no reason at all.....not even a half baked one!
se - I love the dark dark stuff......and still have to eat the whole bar. A square or two simply doesn't do enough for me. I am a true addict
Have been to stock up on multivits......see, am trying to look after myself. I have chicken and butternut squash roasting in the oven too.....:A Oh, and I have been drinking water......am scaring myself just a tad :rotfl:Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Well, I hope you manage to get the money things sorted at the weekend, and that you can come to some sort of arrangement with him staying somewhere other than at your house. That can't continue, surely, although I understand that it is not simple in the short term.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.

Hypno, what is your "signature for stalkers"? I've been mean to ask but have felt a bit embarrassed
But now curiosity has got the better of me!

Signature for stalkers......well, I have always put in my signature how much debt I have left. So that people could see how far I had come as it had started at over £100k, and I could see how far I still had to go.
Then, a few months ago, I decided to do away with the "remaining debt" figure, and I started focusing on the bigger picture, including my mortgage in my signature, and having just one figure of "total debt".
I wouldn't way there was uproar, exactly, but so many people commented on the fact that they had followed my numbers going down for 3 years, and now they were lumped into one, how would they know when I was sub 20k, sub 15k etc.....!
It was like I was cheating them at the most crucial time - me heading towards (finally) debt freedom :rotfl:
So, the "signature for stalkers" was reinstated, so everyone knows how much further I have to go before I am no longer a DFW, but instead am a MFW!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.
