  • Things got sidetracked last night so will try to finish it today hopefully.

    Assuming I get home in time x

  • Morning,

    Trying to find a pharmacy open on a Sunday in the rain not my idea of fun.

  • Local police stations used to keep a note of the rota of pharmacies open on a Sunday. You could call and ask them if that's still the case. Always assuming there is a local police station which is still open.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
  • Any supermarket with a pharmacy will be open today - do you have one close by?
  • The two most local supermarkets didn't have what I needed and couldn't fill it until tomorrow :cool: Think it's sorted now after ringing round. Will have to get another taxi though!

    I think I need a Taxi fund in my budget from now on too! I had to borrow out of DD's hospital pot for last nights and this mornings and will for this one. Will owe there another £20+

    Will update all the lists later x

  • Hi, just wanted to say well done on spotting his manipulative behaviour. It's a form of abuse commonly called 'gaslighting'. I experienced this with my ex but genuinely didn't notice most of it until I was away from the situation. It will really help your mental health to know what's going on. Don't listen to him with any seriousness when he says things about your sanity or similar, he will likely get angry when he realises he isn't having the desired effect. Maybe start making notes of stuff to look back on. You are doing brilliantly, I think this realisation maybe a turning point for you x

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
    R.I.P. T.P.
  • I think we've reached a compromise in which we will both be fine moving forward. Peace has been restored for now.

  • Glad youve reached a compromise now WF xx

    I've started recording what's been said previously. He was making me think I was losing my mind saying the total opposite to what had been said not even 24 hours ago :cool: I really thought I was loosing it and maybe that what I thought had been said hadn't been :o

    Makes me so annoyed we can't just sort !!!!!! out :cool:

    Anyway the painting will be finished at somepoint tonight :D So tomorrow can be spent putting everything back together ready to sort an Xmas tree next weekend ;)

    I completely understand this as I have had this problem with my OH. It's like we have 2 completely different memories of the same conversation.

    Glad you have managed to reach a compromise.
