    I shall do my best to just ignore them.
    I haven't the energy to get into any texting sessions! I'm tired of it all.
    I'm trying to keep myself busy and motivated, and I am not that quick to forgive being called a slapper anytime soon!
    Or words to the effect of.

    Twin2 didn't last long in her job, she was let go, and has till Monday to get out of the B& B. They said they didn't have enough people to supervise her all the time. I hope she finds help soon.
    Haven't heard from twin 1 since she went to her BFs. She doesn't think to ring her daughter when she goes away.
    I've mustered up the energy to bring in the washing, remake my bed, wash up after dinner, and water the vegetable patch. I've added a strawberry plant and a tomato plant. We will see what happens.
    Spent £12 on clothes for DGD this morning, and £19 on me! Cheapest retail therapy, buying 12 items of clothing for her, and 6 items for me. all stuff for our holiday. She's had a growth spurt and I've put on a bit round the middle :(, so I shall be selling off some of my old clothes as well then now!

    Think I can relax a bit now, get DGD too sleep and have another early night. As the birds are waking me at 3.45 ish in the mornings!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Would more have said he had Victorian ideas then domestic abuse. He would be horrified to read that that is walking on a dodgy line.
    You may say that, he may think that, but a) we are now living in the 21st century, NOT Victorian times; b) they were pretty horrific attitudes even then; c) you two were not even married, so why treat you as a chattel, a possession, which is how women were regarded in those days?

    You might consider sending one text: enough is enough, we are over, please do not text again as your behaviour is bordering on harassment. Then find out if you can block his number so that his texts don't get through. And if not, on my phone I can set blocking up at particular times of day, but allow some numbers to get through, so you could at least keep your weekends and evenings free of him!!! but still be available for your family and FRIENDS.

    mornings!

    He's only sending you txts to get you to respond, because that will mean he regains control of your behaviour again.
    Keep busy, you seem to have achieved more today than you have done at a weekend for months. Do what gives YOU pleasure.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

    I think it is possible to block text/calls from a certain number.

    However i bet that if Mooloo does keep ignoring him - BF will turn up on the doorstep with flowers in a grand gesture way in an attempt to get things back to his comfort zone.

    Rubbish about twin 2, hope something better is headed her way.
    Snootchie Bootchies!

    got a month to go yet! 30th July. But really excited. The place looks ideal. No cooking for 10 days. DGD can have coke or ice creams, and gets to play with other children as she's old enough for kids club, so I will get some peace still.

    I haven't had any texts this evening, all peaceful. Although I was asleep till about 11 then DGD woke me up for a drink of water, and then the phone pinged, thought here we go again, but it was only my carpenter friend requesting me. ( and no he's my mates husband nothing else!)
    Time to see if I can get back to sleep. It's a hot night tonight that's for sure.

    I had a restless night in the end, too much tossing and turning.
    I must remember to change the phone settings at night as there was a conversation on FB that was going on late and every time someone added a comment my phone went off!
    Sure I don't normally get them making noises all through the night!
    I wanted to just have an early night as I knew the daylight and birds would wake me early and I was right, they did.
    Cup of tea time, then gather my thoughts for today, and see what I can achieve. Looks like another lovely day.
    Seems strange having a Sunday at home. Perhaps I will have to think of a place to take DGD for a while.

    I'm sure you said you have an iphone. You need to go to....

    settings > scroll down to DO NOT DISTURB > select the times you do not want to be disturbed. You can allow calls from favourites.

    To make a number a favourite > PHONE > CONTACTS > select the contact > scroll down and click ADD TO FAVOURTIES

    To block a caller, same as above but you scroll right down to the bottom of their contact screen and click BLOCK THIS CALLER

    Hope this helps. x

    Well I had a mad day. When DGD woke up she was in the paddling pool at 8.45! So I said shall we be a bit crazy today and go find a beach? So we drove to Bournemouth and spent the afternoon swimming in the sea and digging holes in the sand. Then we popped in to visit my niece before driving all the way back.
    Time for Bed.
    Thanks for the instructions, I'm off to do it now. X
