    but if the abuse were physical...

    And this is abuse.

    You might think that it isn't as he has seemingly good intentions. He doesn't want to physically harm you, he isn't calling you names or threatening you either. It's probably quite the opposite, peppered with a liberal dose of "I love you" and "I'm sorry".

    It is still abuse.

    You may not need an emergency locksmith, some barrel locks are really easy to change yourself. If there's two locks on your front door, a Yale and a barrel one you only need to unscrew the innards of the barrel one, take it to a hardware store and buy a replacement. It's a 5 minute job and cost me about £20.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Tea

    Would 2 ginger Tom kittens 's cheer you up?

    Come and get them

    The evil cow has put them out, it is blowing a gale and absolutely tipping it down.

    Evening my lovelies.

    Hugs, squishes and hand shakes all round. Will get to you in a min Tea.

    Tree up and decorated. A joint effort of mine an action mans.

    Tea, now please sit down with a cup of something nice and hot and read this.

    You are not at fault. Never ever ever. Don't beat yourself up. You want to see the best in everyone. Hence you gave it another try. Contact the police as its now unwanted attention and you are now scared. Massive hugs and squishes.

    Everyone take care.

    Yours

    It's WaSmas Eve.

    Littlewing has an unending supply of Christmas variations of 'If You're Happy and You Know It...'

    tea, hope you are okay, and peaceful and safe.

    Putting fresh fruit in the fort for those, like me, who have eaten far too much rubbish in the last few days.

    DH is putting the lights around the room and we need to hang the Xmas cards on the wall later. Then pull all the presents out of the cupboard and make sure I can find them all. Plus pick up chairs from work as we will need extra for family tomorrow. All should be manageable without too much stress.

    I have a tension headache, but it isn't as bad as yesterday. Took two painkillers last night and fell asleep on the sofa until 6am. Got cold in my back so am in bed now with tonnes of duvets and bedcovers. Only downside is that I don't fancy the Baileys that I had been planning.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Oh that is so cute. I will show action man when he gets back in.

    Right now everyone have a good few days. Even if you don't celebrate christmas. Enjoy any time you have off and if you spend it with or without family.

    So massive hugs and squishes and hand shakes all round.

    Might not be about the next few days. So if you do celebrate and exchange pressies hope you get something nice.

    Everyone take care and catch you up with all you soon. I will have a cheeky drink tomorrow lunch time and I will raise glass and think of you all.

    Yours
