Hey hunny - so glad you have been posting again. You are doing so well and staying strong - sending positive vibes and BIG hugs XX

Thanks Ellidee

I think that having read the last few posts i feel like i'm suddenly smelling coffee.

On Sunday when i was speaking to my friend about what was going on; she was so sweet and i was literally sobbing on the phone and she calmly said to me 'you know what you need to do now babes...its time...you're putting yourslef thru so much...just tell him'...and i guess that was what i needed to hear.

I know that probably sounds really stupid and pathetic but in a way that IS what i needed to hear..

I know that what has put me off has been fear. Fear of so so many things but like my friend pointed out - this is a fear of things that people before me have been thru and survived..no reason why i cant fall into that category!

In the meantime GFN has remained on its best behaviour...weird and unsettling...

Thinking of you BartGirl, thanks for the update....

i can only echo what the others have said, having a stash of money is not critical, nice to have but maybe you need to really consider your options sooner rather than later...

Keep us all updated...

sounds like slightly pshychotic behaviour i think, consider your safety babes... and that of DS. Hope i'm not overstepping by saying this...

BartGirl

All i can say is Bring On 2009 :j

Just checked my Ebay.
Have 13 items listed. 1 bid for a fiver and 3 watchers. If the watchers bid, i'll get £ 15 in total. Fingers crossed!!
Bids end thurs...

Hey Hunny what Maz said ^^^ XX

BartGirl

Am crossing everything cos still no movement in Ebay yet!! :-(

I have got a load of other stuff to add onto Ebay tonight / tomorrow anyway - instead of relisting what may not sell.

Some twerp has nicked my bank details - about 10 days ago now - and spent an odd £300 - luckily i noticed strange payments on my account and alerted bank in time to stop authorisation of those payments - but my replacement bank card is nowhere to be seen...this is really really irritating me cos there's stuff i wanna order online etc but cant without a debit card...
