Don't you think you're being a bit selfish? I mean fancy getting divorced in Jan when we're all on post Christmas detox!!

Where I live, the decree absolute is "official" 30 calendar days from the day it is signed by the magistrate... mine was signed on January 15th, making my divorce entirely official on St. Valentine's Day - the day of love.
It was my final act of "good riddance", and I didn't even plan it that way

BeeMom, good timing!
Got my copy through the post today and it was made absolute last Friday. I've been divorced all weekend and didn't know. I thought I might shed a few tears, but, you know what, I may do in the next few days/weeks, but today it's fine. I would prefer him to be out of my life, but with 3 boys who still love their dad, I'm never going to be completely shot of him. Grrr!

Amazing diet when you've lost that amount of useless blubber in 16 months.
Losing 4 stone is pretty impressive too!
