Evening all!

Early start today, dropping OH off and then his friend at work (aren't i just the best?!) have cleaned the kitchen and put a wash on, my landlady is round at 7pm so am either going to go see my mum or pretend i'm not in .... (she's moving in new tenants, not seeing me!)

So lunches and dinners to sort. OH and pup are still at work.

Grandad is not good, he was having chemo, but has decided he doesn't want to go back to hospital, so need to arrange to get up there soon to see him.

BRIGHTEYES the best revenge is to live your life well, don't know who said that.

Uolypool have been doing WW online and have lost 9lbs in 4 weeks, really impressed with the website.

BRAMBLE sorry to hear about your Grandad, hugs hun.

Big hugs to anyone else who needs one. Well have ended the day in a far better mood than I began. Have seen my GP who is going to refer me for CBT, might help with my insomnia, I'll give anything a go. Also saw my boss, she has offered me full-time hours which means I can pay off more debts and get some money behind me. Am still going to my job interview next week though, want to spread my wings a bit anyway, didn't realise I've worked on my ward for 9 years. Tea tonight was left over bolognese and pasta plus HG salad, DS had steak, onion rings and HM chips.

Right off to sort out the kitchen. Have a good night all

Only just got around to catching up with the thread.....

Brighteyes sweetie, however the relationship ended, it's still the "death" of what was, and you have to go through the stages of grieving for it. That's why you're tearful, and angry. Let yourself feel these things, it's perfectly normal. It'll get better as time goes on (I can tell you from experience, as I divorced my unfaithful and abusive ex a few years back) but for now, cut yourself a whole lot of slack, let yourself feel all the feelings, and be as kind to yourself as you would be to a best friend who was going through this. Have a Wolfy (((HUG))) to be going on with.:o

Evening all,

First, let me say welcome to all the newbies, I have enjoyed getting to know you all whilst I have been lurking, being antisocial.

Next, let me send big hugs to Bramble, I hope you manage to get up again to see grandad, my offer of help is always open. X

Molly, I am livid on your behalf. Would writing to the Health Secretary help? X

Bargainbird, you know you have friends here if you need us.

JackieO, hope you pick up soon.

Same to my dear friend Marie, I hope whatever ails you, beats it quickly. xxx

Well, life has been hectic here, all the death and illness around me had really dragged me down, and made me sit back and take stock. I have deliberately been spending less time online, and didn't feel ready to post, for fear of being a sourpuss. I am feeling much more positive and able to deal with things now - I did appreciate all your pm's and texts. You are such a nice bunch of friends.

I finally cleared out my bedroom this weekend, the floordrobe is no more! Ds2's room to finish now, then the living room and hall. OH is loving his new job, and I have really cut back my grocery spends with him away from home, which is fab! DS1 is getting on a bit better at high school, we have seen Camhs now, and they are quite positive about help for him. What else? I should think that's enough to be getting on with. Oh, BIL has the result of his scans tomorrow, and we will find out if the chemo has had any effect on his tumour. Unfortunately, he and sis are quite pessimistic, and its hard to convince them otherwise.

So, enough rambling from me, I am sending you all love, hugs and affection, I have felt every pain, ache and heartbreak with each of you these last few weeks, and been silently wishing you all well.

jannyannie, I have been looking at the website,the only thing that worries me is that without going to the weekly meeting I would be tempted to cheat:o. I know I have to loose the weight , its a necessity now not an option but atm would feel so self concious going into a meeting, its a catch 22 at the moment.:cool:

Hi again,
I need a rant!!!

It's a long story which I have chosen not to share until now. Basically I left my ex a few months ago after I discovered he had been bringing me home unwanted gifts (i'm hoping you all understand what I mean) It was the most embarrasing thing I've ever done goin to see the GP about this, more so because of the fact I'd been cheated on. I was devestated to say the least. Of course the ex denied it and says it was all down to me.....
Oh please, where the hell would I find time 4 an affair, inbetween work,looking after dd, cookin, cleaning etc etc
Anyway threw him out and decided to get on with my life, (he is not dd father) This has been far from easy.
So fast forward to today and I've just found out he is in a new relationship, I am so angry!!! Is this normal to feel this way???
When I found out I did that thing where you have to catch your breath and then realisation kicks in that it is over, I no I kicked him out and rightly so and I could never take him back after what he did but I feel devestated again. He broke my heart and I don't want to keep hurting, I feel stupid I know these feelings shouldnt be there after what he did but I can't help it.
I will never forgive him, just feel so angry/upset now!!!

Sorry about that xx

brighteyes , I know that feeling when I found out that my ex was with someone new I felt like I had been stabbed through the heart.Even though he did the dirty on me it still hurt so much. Stay strong hun, its normal to feel like that , you are so much better off without him and his mucky bits;);).

Evening all

brighteyes - sorry to hear you're not having a very good time at the moment, sounds like you're best off without him although it's difficult to come to terms with the loss of a relationship. An old friend once told me "don't get mad - get even, the best revenge is to move on, have a great time, be happy and word will soon filter back". Easy words I know, but as the time moves on it does get easier, stay strong, big hugs xxx

Bargainbird - hope you ok, sounds like you're not having a good time at the moment, pm me if you need or just accept big hugs xx

Hope everyone else ok xxx

JackieG, glad to hear from you, stay strong and think positive.

Well, that's the last evening shift till next Monday, off to Wales in the morning with DD. Hamster still not dead or alive, friends are going to take it to their house while we are away, I only hope the children are ok with pets passing! Anyone know how long they go into 'semi-hibernation' for? We had one that did it before but it wasn't as old as this one.

Brighteyes, hope you are looking after yourself and spoiling yourself rotten, you are a far better person than your ex.

Take care. XX
