    Hello my lovely, hope everything is ok and that you come back soon, even if just to let us know you are ok.

    Otherwise, we'll put this notice up to see if we can get something for your diary:

  • lol @granny and your pics :D they've made me smile!

    Well i'm still here just not felt inclined to come here for some reason, probably because not many people in real life know yet. I've obviously told my family & the kids but DH doesn't seem to want anyone to know! His mum found out though yesterday, via DS1 ;) which i thought was quite funny (yes how childish am I, we were in town and he got a call and all i could hear was his mother shouting at him :p)

    He seems to come and go as he pleases and wants to spend all day with us. Well today was the last day I am letting him do that. We had a massive row on the way to the beach, and I ended up bumping bumpers with another car to the amusement of him and his sarcasm (grr) i was so stressed i nearly cried so i stayed in the car, what should have been a nice day out with me, my sons & the puppy (DD at nanny's house) turned into a farce of keeping up appearances. Well i'm glad i did it because it showed me that i'm not willing to do it anymore. I am always relaxed and happy when not with him. With him i am as tightly strung as a spring.

    I did indeed visit family. I was at my dad's house for a few days (don't think i've been on since then??) and then back to 'home' i've been to see welfare and to get the ball rolling on what happens next. DH was supposed to have had an interview stating he'd moved out and reasons why (bloody nosy army!) and he hasn't so i've had calls from them (but also missed the calls as phone was on silent, d'oh) so need to go back over and sort it out.

    I believe everything happens for a reason :) so i am staying upbeat (mostly) and happy and just trying to get on with everything. I have decided where i would like to move to if need be and just need to sort out the hows, whens & other logistics of it all. So really i seem to be waiting on a man now, as is usual ;)

    I'm so sorry i haven't been on. I tried every day at my dad's place. It seems he had a better reception in the Brecon Beacons than in the midlands (???) either that or my phone was just better back then -more likely lol.

    So anyway, i am alive, well (ish) and just waiting on stuff to happen now. I haven't applied for any benefits yet, i will probably have to do that within the next month as it's too close to payday to change everything now. DH will obviously want money to live on though next month so i will have to make cut backs (emergency fund & somewhere else) and I also need more money for the school bill as we are short on it :eek:

    I would like to thank you all here as i haven't the energy or the time at the moment to go over each post and comment. But i've read every single one and have been thankful for such great friends :) My closest friend in Essex knows i think (via Dh i suspect), but has not even bothered to message me never mind come round and see me so that says it all to me. From next month when her husband goes back to work and she is at a loose end she can just go whistle for my fantastic company, tea & cakes ;) I will be taking it elsewhere! lol

    anyway have to go finish dinner so ta-ta for now!

    Hello my lovely, I'm so sorry things are so carp at the moment but glad you popped on to let us know you are ok(ish). (I for one just wanted to know that and hope I didn't pressure you into sharing) You know where I am if you need to talk.

    Hi there glad you popped by - pants about your trip to beach today, but glad it got you thinking about being better off without him. Definately think ground rules over when and where he can go need to be discussed.

    Well done for speaking with the army over situation and who needs friends that only need you when they have nothing better to do. I realise we dont physically know each other on here but i sometimes think we are better friends on here :)

    Stay well x
