Hello everyone.

The big uns were all up early they ran downstairs and carried up baby girls birthday presents. Baby girl of course decided to have a lie in and rather spoilt their excitement..

Baby girl eventually surfaced at 8.45. At least it gave me time to ice her birthday cake.

There was a baptism at church this morning so I feel very happy today. It's 4 weeks since our baby girl's baptism today. I feel glad that it wasn't raining on 4th Feb. It's pouring here and DS3's football has been cancelled for the fourth time this season. He is so disappointed.

Welcome - DonnaP

Happy Birthday for yesterday - Peem

Moggins - Hope the job works out for you. Hours sound perfect. Keep strong and focused.

Have a good day everyone.

Hugs to you moggins.

I was going to pm you but then thought if I post on here you may get more responses and maybe a balanced view.

First I think you should make an appointment with a solicitor tomorrow. He cannot force you out of the house. He has to by law keep a roof over his child(ren)s head and you can lodge an interest in the property with the land registry and the estate agents will not touch you. Maybe you can come to an arrangement with him that he lets you stay there until you get your head together say 12 months and then you will put the house on the market and move then.

The reason I say this is because you remind me of me. You mentioned your happy pills so you have mental health issues - you are setting yourself up for a major crisis if you do not feel you have any control over what is happening to you.

He has presented you with this ultimatum and you do not have to just accept what he says.

I am still in my ex's house (and it belongs to him) 3 years after our divorce and only now do I feel strong enough to begin looking for a rented house to move into.

Good luck.

Thanks for all the thoughts and good wishes, I've had a lot of time for thinking since he's been gone and to be honest it's really sinking in that we haven't had a marriage for a long time now, if he's had a problem he's always gone outside the marriage to find someone to talk it over with and I've felt alone for so long that really being alone will make no difference. As long as I can sell the house quickly then things should be okay for me and the kids and at least I will know where I really am in life without having to justify myself and my actions all the time.

morning all, (just!!)
my computers playing up too, couldn't log in then this forum, ahh! think its telling me to go get dinner ready instead of sitting here!

(((((moggins))))) don't know what to say, I just hope everything turns out okay for you in the end xxx

After losing all that weight (5lb) last week - weighed myself last night and appeared to have put 2lb on - I've been good (apart from a chinese on fri!!) so don't know why. Never mind, i'll keep going.

Take care all and hope Sunday is nice and relaxing for you. bbXx

donny-gal, the problem is that a photo was posted that was too big and hence this caused it the page to stretch.

Unfortunately, the only way I could get round it was to put the poster on my ignore list

Hello all!
Tried to have a lay in this morning but i was asleep by 9:30m, so was up by 9am this morning! Got an awful head on me though.

Sending huge hugs to moggins, I hope that things will turn out ok for you.

Have the chicken in the slow cooker, alongside some water, half a stock cube and some lemon juice... oh and restng on a carrot chopped in half! Will prob make some muffins for my lunches and have waffle mixture waiting for when OH wakes up.... think he was on the XBox til late last night!!

Going to crash out on the sofa now....

moggins, glad you've had time to think. remember you're bound to be incredible vulnerable and up and down at the moment so don't be too hard on yourself. i hope the kids are doing ok, i went through parents splitting up when i was 8. its hard on the whole family, but i know for us it was definitely the best thing.

i've had a lazy morning, emptied OH's parents dishwasher but that's it!!! have been watching casualty on skyplus and surfing MSE while OH out for a run, he's just come back (10 miles in 1hr 19, i'm v proud of him, especially in the wind and rain!!). sunday dinner being cooked for me, what more can you ask for. bit of an achy tummy (period) so nice to just chill!!!

Morning everyone, its miserable and raining here; having a quiet day and don't need to venture outdoors thank goodness.

Brilliant photo, Amie399! Saw them recently on the Bill Oddie back in the US program, they are huge! Isn't it supposed to be manatees that were the origin of mermaids stories?

Sorry to hear the problems that some of you are facing, sending good thoughts your way.

Moggins I know you answered this quickly, but it says exactly what I was going to write (once I figured the problem with page 1). I do not any legalities of splitting up, luckly even after nearly 34 years we are still mates, he's not perfect, but neither am I :rotfl: :rotfl: (he's tidy I'm not). However, I am sure they are many who can offer sound advise, but the one thing I would say is PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not react immediately on the house selling, and at least talk to a solicitor before doing anything. Just stop doing anything for him, he can cook ,clean, wash, etc., for himself, and sleep in a different room, but you keep yours! He claims you were controlling, well just show him how controlling you can be! (((hugs))) I know it will be hurting, time will tell whether it is just pride or not, but stop justifying yourself to anyone but yourself.
