    ^^^^ !!!!!!???!!!??? ^^^^

    Is this bloke for real? He is a proper ladygarden for sure. It can't be OK for the police to expect you to live in fear like this.

    Sending huge hugs to protect you from this evil man.

    Words fail me.
  • Piggers do you have a non molestation order against him?

    He sounds like a piece of work. Don't let his mentalness affect your relationship with your OH, cf would probably love that. Hugs x

    Well today I:
    [STRIKE]Strip our bed
    WM
    DW
    Kitchen worktops [/STRIKE]
    Cancel car insurance :mad: enough said
    [STRIKE]Clean bog, sink, bath
    HHI
    Clear bedroom floors
    Hoover bedrooms[/STRIKE]
    Tidy hall
    Hoover kitchen and hall
    Mop kitchen and hall
    Mop bathroom
    [STRIKE]Walk dog[/STRIKE]
    Wipe over mucky bits in living room
    Papery hotspot Grrrrrrr
    If there is any time left, painting

    Overall, not bad as the dog walk took years as I had the kids with me.
    Then we played board games. Game of Life (Omg, a game from my childhood) and Monopoly, which took three hours and led to a complete bad loser meltdown from Dd1 when her little sister beat us all. :D

    Oh Pigpen lets just hope there will come a day when the kids are grown and you dont have to have any sort of contact with this waste of space.. as Dizzy says words fail me.

    I have come clean with both my sister in laws about my anxiety. No-one knows that I have had anxiety on and off for the last 10 years except my Mum and DH but I cant go on making excuses. It feels horrible, I feel embarrassed and pathetic. I know thats wrong but there you go.

    On the flying front I have done some paid stuff today and been shopping. The house is reasonably tidy and I have managed to do some washing at least. Day at home tomorrow I think, other than ferrying DS2 to work and back.

  • piggers if he has made a recent threat to kill I'm sure that is grounds enough to get an emergency injunction against him, speak to your solicitor.

    yl telling more people will help, I'm sure, as long as they are understanding. You know you are strong. X

    Morning all. Thoughts with Piggers and YSL today.

    I'm not sure what I'm doing today as DH is unwell and we were supposed to be going for a meal later. Yesterday, as I was in a bad mood, I just sat and did my nails and read magazines.

    Let's try a list:
    Make breakfast
    WUDUPA
    Sort out washing on airers
    Walk dogs
    Lovely soak in bath
    Maybe some hoovering
    Maybe some gardening

    And I need to pop to @rgos to pick some bits up.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Good morning ladies - still in bed with chest pain that's been rumbling since it woke me up Friday at 1am...think it might be stress related and over doing it physically, but I thought I was having a heart attack it was so bad :(

    Consequently, I'm not planning much today. Skids are here and DH's cousin wants to get together, but I'm leaving it to DH to organise.

    YL - agree that telling people about your anxiety might help. My friend had crushing anxiety that she hid from most people for years, but in the end revealed it and was overwhelmed with support and understanding. Good for you for making this first step xxx

    Pigpen - I'm still outraged on your behalf. I read about situations where women have been failed by the system in the news and can never believe how it happens. Biscuit is right - get in touch with your solicitor!!

    I was on the phone to my solicitor on Friday when he was screaming in the street and he said unless I can fork out £900 there is nothing they can or will do and to just ring the police.. he was about as much use as a chocolate teapot!
