Merry WaSmas everyone.

Spent most of yesterday wrapping presents, so I could take today easy. Me, Mr CP and DA dog have been so lazy today - we've spent most of the day snuggled up under a blanket watching movies

Congratulations izzy and izhe.

Tea, hope you're OK. This is not your fault! I'm sorry this is happening again. The good?! thing about this is he's done it before so you know his moves and can prepare yourself. If you need to contact the police, do it. You're not the first person in a bad relationship who has lied to them to protect their partner. Also, call women's aid for advice. Is there anywhere you can escape to for a few days if it gets too much? Even a pet friendly hotel could give you a couple of days of peace with you and pcat.

Happy Christmas all! Sorry to have been AWOL for such a long time - reason below.....

Well, I am just emerging (hope I stay emerged!) after spending a whole week in bed with flu. I went out today as we were almost out of bread and milk - and of course we can't go to have Christmas with family, as planned.

Went very gently round the supermarket and found, when I got to the checkout, that instead of the £200 I thought was in my purse there was only £10. And I have a shiny new bank account and card, but no idea what my PIN is. So I had to leave the shopping and promised to return. (And I wasn't even sure that ONE quick trip out was really a good idea).

Rang husband and he suggested that he could find the letter with the PIN. Couldn't find it, though. Halfway home he rang me with the PIN, so I returned to the supermarket. And guess what? The sodding number didn't work.

Back home, where fortunately I did have some cash. Back to the supermarket for a third time (and of course each time it was a nightmare to get in and park) and finally picked up the shopping. HSBC are going to get a total mouthful from me, I can tell you!

Keep your fingers crossed that this little lot doesn't lead to a relapse......

Oh blimey, JM!

That would be bad enough if you were feeling fine!

Poor you.


Feet up time, now.
Ready meal into the microwave, and open a bottle.

There's some very sad news just come up.

Penguin Status Quo's Rick Parfitt has died, Zara and Mike Tindall have lost their baby and the British born astronaut and climate change expert Dr Piers Sellers has died End Penguin

None of this is your fault WAS. Please don't look at the news for now.

Oh dear, thank you Ginger. I shall avoid the news. I am distracting myself from anything sad right now and determined to have a lovely day tomorrow!

I am all done for the big day. WaSp still has to wrap my gift, the poor man did last minute shopping yesterday and came home frazzled, apparently it is awful in the shops! I did a huge order and we don't need anything for a week now so we are both cuddled under blankets, me on here and WaSp screaming that his little ship in his game won't do as it's told. He seems to be having fun though!

Evening all, merry WaSmas xx

Feeling annoyed that I'm missing a christmassy event I was really looking forward to, but as FOH has told me repeatedly that he's going and he wants me to go I don't have any choice but to give it a miss.

Had a run in with him this morning. He was turning up to bang on the door every 10 mins or so and i was ignoring him as usual. I needed to leave the house and thought he'd gone but was outside the front door. He got his foot in, pushed me and tried to force his way in but sheer anger made me able to push him out. Cut my hand on the door though (well, only a graze really). The only thing I said to him was that he had to return my keys today or I'd take further legal action.....needless to say they haven't been returned. I've got a replacement lock but don't think I can sort it on my own (the so-called emergency locksmiths I contacted yesterday didn't get back to me). Am hoping that leaving the key in the bottom lock means he can't get the key in from the outside.

At one point when he was trying to force his way into my home he told me I should be reasonable. I genuinely laughed at that.

Oh Tea!



While you're feeling angry, why don't you say sod him, and go to that do? Do you have any friends who are going, who you could go with? And look after you?


Why should his foul behaviour stop you doing something you've been looking forward to?



Easy for me to talk, I know. Just seems so unfair.

He's spent all week begging me to go so no way I could without it looking like a response to him.
