Can’t believe I’m onto my third thread.
Previous one here
Been packing the car to go to the tip. It’s rammed! Cat has been out for the first time and thankfully returned.
Greatly enjoyed my walks this weekend. Got an 8 miler in yesterday but the best part was coming back, lighting the fire and getting into a hot bath. Had a zoom with friends last night, touch too much red wine, but it was so much fun.
You’re all right re the petition. It doesn’t matter, he’s just jackbooting. Someone asked what I’d put in, sorry but I’m not comfortable sharing that at present, been advised to keep it to myself whilst it’s ongoing.
Geller is, however, incredulous that I’m not willing to carry on sharing Amazon Prime and Music Unlimited.
The weighted blankets have arrived so I’m just about to go sort out the laundry and the girls run. Been enjoying Radio 2’s musical weekend, but I can’t understand how Steve Wright is still on.
Tip run, then they come back. Roast chicken with bread sauce and roast gnocchi and board games this afternoon in front of the fire I think. Sounds like he’s been running them ragged, lots of walks etc which is good as means I don’t need to!
How’s everyone else spending their Sunday?

Nothing to comment, except that you're doing brilliantly. It's not easy, but you're strong and setting a wonderful example to your children. For you 
You're doing great @StuckInPollyannaMode, lovely to read how you're blooming. Slow and sure will win this race 
I’m off to get my first dose of the vaccine aka it’s my prick day 
followed by roast chicken and a fire also
It sounds, like we predicted, he completely expected you to carry on with the "wifework" and you aren't actually divorcing 🙄
Sorry but I feel like you guys have become a micro community so I'm Really sorry to derail the thread again but in the 7 weeks since I had my stroke, my Mum died on Christmas Eve - I am very low contact with parents and it was expected BUT her last 3 weeks were in hospital and they didn't let my Dad visit until she was unconscious 🤬😢 she was supposed to be in a few days for her leg ulcer so how they could have not known her decline and put her on end of life pathway I will never know.
Then even worse our utterly adored cat was killed by a lurcher type dog in our garden on Thursday. We are all beyond heartbroken he adored us and has been my youngest night nanny from when he arrived over 11 years ago until she was about 12. He had his rota to spend cuddle time with each of us everyday. His litter sister is looking for him. He was cat in a million (DH has had a LOT of cats) and it's just so so so awful for us all 
Honestly my tolerance for Gellar being pathetic is completely non-existent now. You really are going to have to grey rock him. Even now his priority is him and money.
I'd give thousands to have Charlie back for him to have his last days with us when his time had come and it's indignant that as a high earner with a massive pension pot about paying for his own Amazon Prime FFS when his own children were less important than him having the lates iPad 🤬🤬🤬🤬
@RandomMess so very sorry to hear you are going through such sad times.
OP, I've missed the jasmine reference... I can't figure out a way to ask about it without mentioning the jasmine..!
Random What an awful few weeks for you, I'm so sorry
Oh @RandomMess I'm so so sorry for your losses
Our lovely cat passed away suddenly 3 weeks ago, and I genuinely fell to the floor sobbing after I gave the vet permission to pts. It sounds dramatic and over the top, but in the moment I just didn't have the strength to stand. I so empathise with the wish to have the time again, they're never here for long enough.
Ours was also DDs best friend, and she his, he would play peek a boo with her when she was tiny, and would spend hours sitting with her while she played. I keep 'seeing' him out of the corner of my eye, in a shadow, or an out of place cushion, or a pair of shoes discrded in a corner, and my heart breaks all over again.
I screamed and screamed and screamed outside the vets and in my car 
it was a mixture of rage, raw grief, and the unfairness of it - why him out of the dozen cats that live in our cul de sac.

Where we lived before he used to walk the DC to school up to where they crossed the road and after school he would be sat waiting in the tree and walk back with them.
He used to literally lay on the youngest so she couldn't get out of bed and had to go to sleep, always there for story time.
He used to come on dog walks with us.
We were so relieved to move to a quiet cul de sac with the woods so they both safe from being knocked down.
No last cuddles, not even a couple of days of knowing they are unwell and making the most of it just case he always demanded belly rubs in the evening when on my lap (well hanging off as he was huge). You could do anything to him, clip his fur, take blood, take tablet, claws never came out - complete Mr Chill.
