    julie sorry to hear about the job situation - hope its not you and good luck with the other application anyway.
    lil_me (((hugs))) what a horrible situation - maybe you should let friend help with the court costs - she obviously wants to and you make a condition of paying her back once you win?

    piggers (((hugs))) if you love him and want him to stay then you are going to have to work it out - alienating him through telling his MUm and sister about the other female might not be the best way forward - I dont know the answers honey but I am hoping with every breath that you can sort it the way you want it. And you should not be moving boxes:eek:

    Dusty I like your rules:D

    dailies done

    had my hair cut

    off to start on the list
    Peace will be mine

    Just caught up

    Frittered Away - huge congratulations!! Wow!! Fantastic stuff :D:D

    Pigpen -aw, i remember you from a declutter thread when you decluttered ex-OH and bags of his stuff out. Then getting pg with squeak (and now Dot! - wow!!! I love my 4, but it's hard work, and you've got loads!!!) Sorry to hear about the idiotic behaviour of your current OH - grrrrrrr!!!!

    My OH has done the same before now - inappropriate emails and texts with several people - they don;t necessarily see it as cheating because it doesn't involve genital contact! Grrr! I know he gets 'carried away' when he's particularly stressed and/or depressed. The last time was an eye=opener for him and he now sees a counsellor (not just about that - he has lots & lots of 'issues') He has physically strayed before several times too - the last lot I found out about when I was 37 weeks pg with no 4 and no 3 came down with Swine Flu a couple of days later and was seriously ill for a couple of weeks (until just before my due date). If I hadn't have needed him around to physically enable me to get stuff done (SPD, all day long sickness) I think I'd have got rid of him then. Two years down the line and we're back on track - but there can be NO more chances for him now.


    Flying has gone out of the window today (although I've been good this week overall and made real progress) - I've had 3 trees chainsawed down in the back garden and have been helping strip the smaller branches off for shredding. It was raining for part of the time, too - so am a bit soggy and the kitchen is all puddle-y so taht's my first task.
    I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul

    If he even thinks about physically cheating I will make his life as difficult as possible in terms of seeing the children

    Sorry but that's shocking. Have you thought of how that will affect your children? :(
    Life is too short to waste a minute of it complaining about bad luck. Find joy in the simple things, show your love for those around you and be grateful for all that you have. :)

    Dr Phil

    Successful trip to town, got DS1 a pair of new trousers and jumper in the sales for sixth form and treated him to a new polo shirt which he really liked. Managed to find a half price skirt for me too.

    Off to do an hours' flying now.

    piggers I read that as "I have squeakery to get up" d'oh!

    I would love to know how you are going to make life hard for KH...imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and all.

    Who is Dr Phil?

    Load of washing on, dog walked and DD2 dispatched upstairs to tidy her clothes cupboard (she chucks them all on the floor when she is sent to her room) I have told her that the cupboard is getting locked if she doesn't pick up.

    She hates it locked as then she has to wear clothes that are put out for her instead of choosing her own (she is channeling Helena Bonham-Carter sartorially)

    She is 3...but starts school in Sept.

    As I read this I thought God that sounds like my DD2 who'll be 13 in September then I read your daughter is only 3! LOL :rotfl::rotfl:
    I wish I could say things will get better for you :D
