thanks daisy- these arguements always seem to come at the wrong time. I found out about the lapdancer a couple of weeks before our wedding which was great! feel utterly miserable.
rubbish about the skiing! can you not still go without the friend? It is v expensive isnt it - never been as I'm more of a beach holdiay girl but when i've looked into it I know all the gear costs a fair bit!MANAGED TO CLEAR A 3K OVERDRAFT IN ONE FRUGAL, SUPER CHARGED MONEY EARNING MONTH!:j

dont think so as its there place out there - im the same re. the beach and sun they spent six months persuading us to go - well me - hub was desperate to go
we have no idea how to get to there place from the airport or the ski passes or anything - we just left it up to them
also we were going to be using there spare skis and stuff - think it would be pretty complicated to go on our own
with the argument - only advice i have really is to be the bigger person - not that helpful
i know how harmful and hurtful online friendships can be from personal experience - i was the one who had the pretend friends - but for me it was a symptom of something that was lacking in my real life
before it was resolved i did end up being deceitful selfish and very hurtful - but that was me and i eventually woke up and saw what i was doing
hopefully he will take notice of how him posting these sort of things is upsetting to you - as your partner and husband - he needs to take on board your feelings as a consequence of his actions
hope this comes to a speedy conclusion roxie xx:j MFi3 wannabee :j

ooh v exciting daisy! have a fab time.
arguement status - resolved (by me of course!) Decided I wasnt going to waste our family weekend on some stupid cow off facebook. Dale cant see my point of view - I'm sure if I dragged it out a week he'd eventually cave in but i cant be arsed. He knows how I feel so I'm leaving it at that. Plus I do think I overreacted a teensy bit but i'm big enough to admit that - getting him to admit anything is like blood from a stone!
Doing the 'family run' up to leeds today. Its a hassle and I can think of a million things I'd rather do with my day but hey - familys family!MANAGED TO CLEAR A 3K OVERDRAFT IN ONE FRUGAL, SUPER CHARGED MONEY EARNING MONTH!:j

Good morning!
Hope you managed a nice easter weekend and not feeling too upset by all the other stuff. You most certainly are the bigger person!
Well I start my diet today and typically have 5 easter eggs from the weekend sat in my cupboard!!! I am determined not to fail. Have kept myself busy this morning cleaning, now finished the bathroom from top to bottom and going to start another room in a moment. Yesterday I went for a long walk up Butser Hill - was a bit of a mare as some poor guy had fallen off his bike and injured himself and the air ambulance had to be called, not fun running up and down hill I can tell you to get people to help!!! The guys was ok though, wounded pride and a broken collar bone!
I am hoping all my diet stuff comes through the post tomorrow after the long weekend - want to do this properly!
Right must get off and do some more cleaning. Hope all is well with you. x0
