a lot of the risks you've described aren't applicable in this case (but that's not to say they may not be in different circumstances so it's still useful info to put out there)

Glad we agree - friends again? :-) Incidentally - I'm an Asperger's parent as well, so all power to you!

I bought a TV recently at Richer Sounds - http://www.richersounds.com/ - they are competitive but I'm not really a telly technophile. There is probably a geek forum on best buys and specs but I'm in the "ooohhh...that looks nice" category of purchaser!

Me too! :rotfl: As long as it works, I don't care.

I phoned in sick. I had stomach pains during the night, and just couldn't face going to work after another bad sleep. The relief is overwhelming. I don't have to pretend to be fine at work today. I can have a break.

I don't usually advocate sickness absence, I'm more of a 'get on with it' type of girl, however don't be afraid to talk to the dr about taking time off work - even if just this week to rest and get your strength up for the weekend.

Take care

Thanks so much. I do feel bad about being off work, but I am not sure how much longer I could have kept on a brave face.

Tray forth, you are holding it together admirably.

I don't want to rain on the parade (again) but I would like to suggest before the wedding at the weekend you pop out and stock up easy cook nutritious food.

It's quite likely after the wedding you might have a sense of anticlimax, the crescendo of emotion having peaked, and the short term goal date achieved.

Aware you have said you are not eating or sleeping well I am concerned that you have the right fuel to cope should there be an emotional 'droop'.


If not, and I hope there isn't , you still have good healthy yummy food in.

A nice bath product or two wouldn't go amiss, some room fragrance for the bedroom....just stuff to make you feel 'nutured'

I agree. Don't underestimate the effects of the stress on your emotional and physical health - not just over the past week, but in the months leading up to the split.

Thank you both. Lovely suggestions. I will do that, could come in handy next week.

I'm hoping to do a bit of cleaning before the weekend. The housework has been so neglected, and I'd like to come back to a clean, tidy, welcoming home.

I don't want to tell my mum straight after the wedding. I'll have to wait another week or two. But the hardest part will be over.

Is your sister having a honey moon?

Yes. She'll still be there when I have to leave on Monday, so I can't tell them then.
