I'd like to see some of your pics of your travels. Been anywhere that you would recommend? Photographically speaking.

TIA

Thanks. Will try to post some when I get them back onto my laptop.

Some of the best (for me) were in Brazil, Cuba, Italy, Poland, Hong Kong, Canaries and Australia. We must be in the minority that visited Ayers Rock and come sunset, we had a b****y big cloud over it! Some brilliant views along the Great Ocean Road (OH lost all his pics the first time, so went back again), was advised where to stop off by someone on a forum here to see the koalas in their natuaral habitat (not captive), ditto kangaroos, Twelve Apostles and after sunset, 100's of penquins come up onto the beach, Adelaide looking down from the hills, Cervantes (Pinnacles) was amazing as was seeing dolphins up close in shallow water. Seeing emu's walking down the road. Wasn't that impressed with the top end of the GBR but Lady Elliot Island was absolutely amazing. Sydney and Perth were brilliant too. Sorry, I could ramble on for ages!:o

I agree, and it's part of the reason I said include everything, and by everything I mean anything Caz may have done in retaliation so it shows it's not all one sided.

I don't mean show it to the boys at 12, 17 or 18 would be better. Who knows, their father may have tripped homself up allowing his kids to see his true colours long before then.

Can i come in?

I speak from experience, dont ever discuss matters like this until the child/children are of an age of 16 (legal age), and even then it should be kept under wraps.

I think you all got the jist of what my ex did to my son. Part of the courts critism of him was that he told him too much about the court process and what was being done behind closed doors. This culminated in my son being put on anti depressants at 12 and eventually put on child at risk register before being removed from his Dad.

Obviously there was a lot more inbetween, and i dont wish to scare monger. Just be careful. Memories, photos and lots of love will proove their worth.

How long ago is it since you went?

Our guide on the boat trip told us that further up river a dam had been created for Hydro Electricity and the result of that meant another water fall 10 times more spectacular than Iguassu had been flooded and lost forever.

I had to delete the bit saying feel free to copy any pics. Sis has had a right go at me about it saying photographers should never give away their work. Please refrain from the copying the pics.

Apologies to anyone I've been a bit sharp with today - you know who you are.

And to those who have bared their souls on screen, thank you. I had no idea that failed marriages were so common. It never even crossed my mind that I would encounter so many people in similar situations to me.

I admire those who have managed to hold their marriage together. Marriage is hard, any relationship is hard but it takes two. I'm ashamed that I allowed myself to be blinded by love and used for so many years. I'm financially ruined, emotionally drained, tired from not sleeping because of stress, worried as to where I'll live but I have the 2 most fantastic kids I could ever have hoped for.

I don't know what the next few weeks will hold but no doubt it will be the same as the last few months - dreading the post coming in case it's another legal letter, dreading the weekend and wondering what the ex is going to ask next, jumping when my phone beeps in case it's another harassing text. I feel so much stronger than I did this time last year but it doesn't stop the hurt or the humiliation. Some day I will emulate a lot of you lovely girls and find the perfect partner second time around.

I've had some really lovely PMs from people on here and not just today. It's so hard when all your friends seem to have the perfect little family - husband, cute kids, holidays etc. All I want is for my kids to be happy & healthy but no-one gets that though I've made the right decision, it doesn't erase the past nor is it something that you can move on from quickly.

ok , any electricians out there? i am getting a new electric cooker and i wired my old in 14 years ago but i seem to have forgotton how to wire it in again. is it just the same as a plug? i dont want to pull the old cooker out just to find out then shove it back in again,as i doubt i will get it back in hole:o

The old cooker will probably have different colour wires to a new one. Can't remember when things changed over to be more in line with Europe.
