    Hello peeps

    Not around earlier as I decided to have a sofa day - I felt cold so decided to stay in the one room that is warm. My day hasn't been entirely lazy though as I have done two lots of washing up - including a load of glassware and my loo has been fixed for the umpteenth time. Hoped to have an afternoon nap but was rudely awakened by the clog dancers upstairs:mad:

    Greenbee - have a good shout, eat chocolate and generally chill - now you have the chance to become yourself once again. Last year, I discovered on New Year's Day that the chap I had been seeing for quite a long time had been cheating on me - stupidly I fell for his lies only I managed to track him down on the internet (I found him by accident on Meetup and then started to actively look from there). All the weekends and weeks where he said he was sailing he was actually playing away and there it was for all to see:mad: At first I was upset and angry because he didnt treat me that well - I have kept some of the things he gave me and got rid of others e.g. the silk dress from Zara UK that I wore once, the nice wool jacket bought from Zara in Spain along with some slinky tops also bought in Spain - all these went to the charity shop. I have a bag full of DVDs to sell. I have kept Ping (the microwave), the bedside drawers, the old fashioned coat stand (which was my wardrobe for a while), the ski jacket, ski hat and neck warmer, the rack in my kitchen that I put my plates on, my tv, the pouffe, the trolley (antique) that my tv lives on came from him as he was going to dump it, my portable DVD player came from him too along with my ironing board and my electric blanket. I don't miss him in the slightest and actually feel quite sorry for him because he will never marry because he is selfish with his feelings and he wants his mummy - she would put dinner on the table for him and he expects that of other women - meals must be prepared regardless of the time of night and regardless of whether or not he would eat them - good riddance to bad rubbish.

    Crickett - depression sucks - I have been suffering from it for a while so I have days when I am good to myself and sometimes do nothing (like today) and other times I do stuff. My confidence is shot to pieces and I talk myself out of things but I am working on it.

    FW - good luck to your boy - he will get the job I am sure.
  • FW - I will be thinking of your son tomorrow - 10 am, I will take the time to send all positive thoughts for his success, though I am sure all he needs is a chance to shine!!

    If there is going to be a meet up in Scotland, can I play too please!!

    Well its clearly making him unhappy, but he's determined to stick to his decision (the one made this morning, rather than the one made last week, clearly). So that's it, it's over. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to deal with it, but at least I'll lose weight as I don't appear to need to eat anymore...


    Thinking of you greenbee. Just a thought for you, I wonder if he thinks that he has too much baggage around at the moment and doesn't want to ruin your life with his problems, so is walking away as he thinks it is the right thing to do ??

    That's what he seems to think. Having seen him, I don't think he's going to get over this any time soon. But he seems to think he has to do everything on his own, without support. Is this an only child syndrome?

    At yours... I wonder how long that Armageddon cupboard will survive...

    I'm getting fed up with work, but if I do this now, I can avoid a backlog. I just wish some of my colleagues didn't write so badly...
  • We will certainly let you all know when the Scotland plans are made...! Hubby is excited at the thought of meeting my Matrix pals! :):D

    Feeling spectacularly shocking at the moment. Partly depression and partly hormonal. But mostly... Bleurgh!

    Right off to change into my pyjamas and get a hot water bottle. And maybe a passing cat. :D

    Some people just take a lot longer to get over things, and some never do. He is probably thinking it is unfair to drag you down with himself so it is best to deal with it alone.

    Quite possible, my OH has a tendency to totally push me away if sometime is bothering him and can be quite mean to ensure I leave things alone, as I'm a fixer by nature. It's very hurtful at the time but it's his way of dealing with difficult situations.

    Woke up this morning thinking of FW DS - god luck hon.

    We would love to meet him too Crickett - and I am sure there will be a few treats left in the store by then.

    Off to get boys up now that I have packed my lunch-box for the day - loads of veggies to keep me nibbling. Then over to twitter to post the Mentors "Dare Of the Day" - which is causing some minor ripples and major giggles.

    Hi all and big hugs to Greenbee ande all who need them.

    What I need is a bit more than a hug - I need the super-natural power of the Matrix. My oldest son (the one who has been looking for a job without much success for about four years) has an interview for TA (his first after about a hundred applications and three voluntee positions) tomorrow at 10 am. Please, please join me in wishes to a supreme power of your choice (my is the Universe) - this will change his life; oh, and mine as well because I would know he is on his way to achieve his dream and become a primary school teacher.

    Lots of vibes coming over Summit!
