And I want a list of everything you bought when you get back!

I went to ikea last week for some inexpensive curtains, but hated them when I saw them, instead preferring so e three times the price that were discontinued, although they said they were out of stock rolling around on the floor checking the very backs of the bottom shelves yielded five pairs of them. That and a few jars of fake caviar and I was happy that I won't be going back for years and years!


Last nights converstion meant curiosity got the better of me and this morning i googled my nasty ex, only to find out he is now working in my region (we didn't live here). I mentioned this to dh who asked if I was worried and I admitted while I am not 'worried' I really wouldn't want our social circles to collide or to see him again.

I'm back I also went to the nearest big MrS to stock up on my favourite Merchant Gourmet puy lentils, yum

I didn't get that much! A new dish drainer, toilet brush, lightbulbs, extension leads, tea towels, spatulas, chopping boards. Very exciting lol.:rotfl:

Also, a couple of pretty glasses and mugs and a peace lily. Oh and champagne flutes as I have none! I have some champagne and prosecco in the house, and want to toast my new life with friends sometime soon

LOL. Well done you for finding them!

Where had your ex been living/working before? I can understand that you don't want to encounter him, but would it be likely? Is it a densely populated area? xx

Sounds like you got good stuff. I forgot I also got two flamingo glasses for our bedside table water glasses (dh loves flamingos:rotfl:)

As for how likely it is...well, we haven't yet. . It's a small world, crazily he is working in the industry he had no interest in and that I still dabble in...but i think its highly unlikely we would run into each other. Whether the social circles might cross in a small world is something different though. I don't think so, and forewarned is forearmed. If it happens I know have had time to wit gather to say something like 'oh yes, we used to be close but are not in touch now, life goes on, I wish him well' rather than 'what the hell? Where!?'

:rotfl: Forewarned is forearmed indeed! Fingers crossed that he doesn't cross your path though.

Oh, I saw those flamingo glasses and was SO tempted! Only 75p each too! How cute that your DH loves flamingoes lol xx

One month today since I started this thread. I've just been reflecting on all that has happened since then. It's been quite a month!

Firefly

I've read this thread often and cheered you and your new life from afar and just wanted to wish you well for the next months and many happy months ahead of that. You really are a very strong and determined lady. I know what you've gone through.

Thanks so much Firefly. I really appreciate your post, and I hope that life has improved for you as well xxx
