Goodintentions

Vanilla - (((big hugs))) for you, and coping vibes for you and the children. This is a tough time for you, but the first day of the rest of your life x

Pigpen & Sammy - kick up the @r$e vibes to you! I think I would definitely be throwing something at the pair of them - a small screaming child, maybe?

I have not done as well this week as i would have liked. After my normal mad rush on a Wednesday and then working all day, i didn't get much done. I did manage to pick up ALL the toys at the end of the day (took a while, as they had trashed the house!!), and took the dog out (in the rain ). DD1 cooked the chicken, DD2 emptied the DW & DS hoovered (although apparently, when I say 'can you hoover in here?' while standing in a through lounge/diner - that only means the LR!!)

Working this morning (Miss T is late - again!) and we are going to toddler group, so not too much mess in here I may enlist DD1's help today with the bathroom. She needs new shoes, but has no money, so I have a bit of leverage

Hugs & posi-vibes to those that need them.
I am off to find a list now....

Morning all been a busy night last night. I've decluttered a KH who i found out has been cheating on me with some t r a m p. :mad::mad::mad:
This person knows he was married and was also in my car up to no good with 4 child seats in the back, sooo classy.

So i'm now at my sisters with all the kids. I left because i just couldn't stomach looking at him and he told his parents after i left, result is they have told him to get out. Not sure if he had or not but PIL want me and kids back in the house but i honestly don't think i could go back and be the talk of the community.

So please any spare strengh vibes throw them my way.

Vanilla my heart goes out to you - anyone who has been on here for more thana year will know HOW HARD you have tried to make it work since last years episode.

I'm with Pigpen - please don't take him back again - he has to realise that there are consequences to his actions.....

LAST DAY OF TERM HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would have been in large letters, but I don't know how......

However today will not be without it's problems..... the staff do fish and chips in the staffroom at lunchtime - this means that most of the dinner staff who are also TA's will not be on duty - and we have 1 MSA off sick and no more cover.....

It is amazing how Health and Safety can be overlooked when fish and chips is on offer......

And after that I have DD1 to the optician for an eye test at 4.15 - then we have to choose the frames...... we've narrowed it down to 4 pairs that have been tried on on-line... but she will also need a rocket up her bum.....

Morning all. I haven't been around for a few days properly and haven't a chance to catch up fully with the thread, but hugs to Vanilla.

This week, I did Tuesday's list on Tuesday, but that's it. Hoping to catch up with the lists after the paid stuff today.

Big hugs to you, Vanilla. Long ago in a past life I was in a similar situation - to say that it's not nice is a major understatement. Just now you will need all the strength vibes we can send you, but be assured that you can hold your head up high (whereas he can't) and you and your children will all get through this horrible time and thrive without him. I'm so glad that PILs are on your side. My own mother sided with my XH!- he was the son she'd never had, and in her eyes he could do no wrong.

This week I'm flying quite well, even though we had the afternoon out on Tuesday. Mostly bathroom and bedroom today, plus my desk (but I'm in the middle of a pile of work to be done by Friday so it will soon start to clear itself).

Catch up on any mending/sewing jobs – i.e. sew up knitted jacket for a 1-2 year old boy: I began knitting it when DGS2 was 6 months old, and he's now 2-and-a-half and well past the size! Expected grandchild is probably going to another girl, so the jacket will go in the presents drawer until needed (DS2 and his wife hope to start a family soon).
Sometimes we fly so s-l-o-w-l-y !

Morning all

Vanilla my friend, you have been through so many ups and downs through the years I really don't know how you have stuck it so long. This is all about him letting you and the children down, again. Sending you all the strength and love you need to deal with this. I hope you can move on from here and save your energy for your children but it is of course your life and your decision and we will always be here for you.

Naughtily avoiding phone calls from somebody who wants me to have her kids for free again after school. I know it sounds mean but I'm not helping out again. There is too much take and not enough give.

Off shopping with DS2, hoping for more luck than yesterday.

Frog eating later, yum yum

Hubs had assured me there was another week of term (he has been taking eldest to school). I thought to double check. Luckily. No - it's tomorrow. And I don't have the cakes made for thank you presents so I think all day will be spent preparing those and cellophaning them.

Have done 15 mins on cross trainer this morning - plan is for another 15 tonight. I never exercise, and haven't for years, so I'm looking to achieve 8 x 15 minutes per week to start with

Hi everyone, welcome to Sammy Kaye, and Vanilla, big hugs to you. What the others have said is true, you stay strong and stay angry - that might help you get through this awful time - and don't give him one more chance. Get back to the house and let him and any b@@@@y gossips in the community see just how good you are and just how good a mum you are.

B@@@@y OHs, at times you just wonder is it worth it. Like Ionafan, I've had this done to me, and it is more than horrible. But it does get better and my (now adult) children still have no respect for their father and loathe his second wife.

Vanilla, I can feel all the warmth for you on here, you wrap it around you and soldier on.

Not much flying here yet, other than breakfasts all round (cat, birds, us!) and for bird lovers, mainly young starlings today - who are already getting their adult feathers! But am soon going to get OH to Hoover through, and I'll do sinks, surfaces and kitchen and conservatory floors before going to work.

Powerful and positive vibes being sent right now. X
