'supporting each other through really tough times'

Fuddle just saw your new motor. Wonderful. I hope you have many happy times together.

Good new about the motor Fuddle...

I know what you mean Rosie hope the job situation looks up but its similar here on that score, not so long ago two jobs were advertised and 500 applied. I usually buy a Euromillion ticket on a Friday not been out today so I'll never know if this could've been the night.

I was thinking about how events seem to come along all at once usually its pretty dead here socially. Even all the events I mentioned need to be travelled to and stretch between 7-25 miles.

The weather is often dull here when it seems good everywhere else.

Monnagran, it was a quote in my sig, by someone who's details I can't now remember.

Fuddle, the car looks fab, and I'm another one glad you are not going to your mum's house to sort it, I appreciate that was not an easy choice, but nonetheless the right one for you.

RPP. it rained? I was in the City of the Exe and nothing.

Mrs C, I popped into Ald!'s and they had bay trees but they were £18.99

Hiya newbies...:T

Ok, the one thing that increases my stress, fills me with murderous fury and intent is my ex's treatment of our DD. He hasn't seen her in a year, he has a new squeeze, which totally baffles me because how anyone of any intelligence can stand his company for more than 5 mins is beyond me. Karma does not seem to be working, or at least it's working the wrong way around and I keep gettin hit by the bus, as I struggle more and more, he seems to get along in life in leaps and bounds. He has been on holidays with his new friend and keeps putting our DD off from visiting by saying he's "too busy." Certainly it reinforces my lucky escape even though it was 30 years in the making, but I am so angry :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: DD continues to cover for him, make excuses and I just want to thump him! I so wish I knew a Jack Reacher :cool:

I know it's not good for me, but I just feel so impotent.

When is the karma bus going to hit him?????

I have to confess to looking out of a window at the Bronte house and not noticing the protective plastic window in front of the real one and thus breaking my nose (again) I left as little blood behind as I could manage and Hubby guided me outside whilst choking so I wouldnt know he was laughing. :rotfl:

Spent the day in and out of the garden, re-potting and preening my plantlets. Everything is beginning to flower and will soon have veggies, I even have a few cauli's in biggish pots and am hoping they work out. Its pointless putting them in the beds as they will be devoured in the night. Only trouble is I moved the greenhouse next to the shed and keep walking into the shed by mistake and wondering what I am doing - senior moment

Monnagran, do hope you get enough stuff to help out after the festival. I see why they are trying to get people to take stuff home though they shouldnt really throw them away but you have use for them too.

Possession

Monnogran it seems like you & the vicar were just MEANT to have all the leftover stuff. I hope it makes its way there.
Byatt he WILL get bitten on the bottom by Karma. Eventually.

BYATT lovie, it might not seem like it to you, but, just the fact that you are living a fully independent life and managing on your own two feet, by your own hard work and effort to make your own way in this world will be annoying the heck out of him. Whatever he is or isn't doing with his life he has no power or hold over you. You are free, free as the air we breathe, your own person to do whatever you wish, whenever you wish without having to ask anyones opinion or permission, if you let the resentment boil in your heart and affect your freedom you're helping him maintain his hold over you. Put him down, away, out of your head, out of your life and live for you and your DD. He can make his own mistakes and you don't have to do anything for him. You deserve so much better in this life than letting him and his baggage drag you down, I know it can be done, it isn't easy but I did just that when my first marriage ran on the rocks, and I haven't regretted a single thing, freedom is worth the pain. I am lucky in having had a second chance with my dear old OH but if I hadn't reclaimed me, I would still be bound by chains I didn't want,in a place I wanted to escape from. You can escape you know, by ceasing to care what he does or why, only you can do it and walk out into the light on the other side and live again! Hope I am not overstepping the bounds by writing this, but I hurt for you because I KNOW how you feel, Lyn xxx.

Byatt

Thanks Lyn, not overstepping at all.

Thanks Possession.

Your post to Byatt was amazing. Thank you dear friend because I haven't the experience or the intelligence to support like you do. We would be lost without you.
