Have you told your parents about the house, by the way?

Oh sorry should have added this on to other post, but yes I have rang my mum today and had a talk with her and spoke to my dad for a-bit too. I told them I’m upset with them for not supporting me or being there and they said they wanted to be but didn’t know how and my dad said he has been giving me lectures because I was so down and nothing else was working . I told them I was upset that they had been speaking to ex and they told me that they have both had to block ex AND his mum as they kept ringing and messaging them giving them grief and saying awful things about me.
I told them about ex breaking my ribs the time I was in hospital , they was upset about that but they said that other members of the family raised suspicions at the time but they was upset that I hadn’t told them .My dad said I shouldn’t have lied to them about it but I told him that I wasn’t ready to tell anybody at the time it’s taking me years to speak those words aloud and it was my mental health team who brought it up by saying they are aware something is going on and it was that day I broke down to them and told them everything xx

Hi spoonies. Had my nails done. Looking forward to the Wicked film coming out, so went emerald green. Don’t have the best of health, but am lucky enough to be financially comfortable, so can treat myself to hair and nails x

Good luck with the neurologist. I love what you said about it being a bad day and not a bad life. You’re a very special lady.

I think your ex must be ill to have said those things to you. Is it wrong of me to hope he goes bald and his dick falls off?

Hi @Apolloneuro , How’s your Tuesday going? (aka nothing pointless day). Good I hope .
Thank you for the good luck , I’m feeling nervous tbh. And thank you for your lovely comments , they really do make me feel warm inside , it’s a really nice feeling.
My ex is already bald and I’m not sure if his dick has fallen off as I haven’t seen it for 5 years . He put a ban on it after something I had done 5 years ago because he was upset with me and decided he preferred it with other people rather than me , but if it hasn’t fallen off I hope it does too xx

Laura, @Imbluedalale , I’m so sorry I couldn’t check in on house view day yesterday, but I’m so excited to see the photos, and hear how delighted you are.
Your house is gorgeous! I am so excited for you. You, spoon and children will have a lovely secure home! You are strong, you’re going to have your children with you and do good things. I am thrilled at how this has worked out, what a turnaround. I just want to cheer and dance around!

Hi @Ruralretreating , I’m so sorry for the late reply I wasn’t being ignorant but the internet stops working now and again in the hotel last 2 days but I’m just in ambulance now on way to my appointment. Thought I’d have a nice listen to music with my headphones on as daughter fetched them for me last week (ex hadn’t burnt these) and I’m trying to listen to Taylor Swift playlist but ambulance driver keeps talking to me about the most random stuff , he’s telling me how healthy onions are right now 🤣
Anyway how are you today?
Awww thank you so much for your lovely comments I’m so very grateful for every kind supportive word said to me . It makes a huge change from before .
So I’ve received confirmation today that the house will definitely be ready on Monday and I’m going to sign and get the keys at 11.50, oh it’s happening and it’s real I’ve just punched myself . Eeekkkk
And I hope you did dance and turn around 😂xx

That’s so lovely and heart felt , thank you so much. You know I’m starting to think that him kicking me out was the best thing he could have done for me. Don’t get me wrong it’s been absolute hell at times and I’ve broken down more times than I’d like to admit but now I get a chance to be me again and be happy and for my children to have a happy mum xx

You're so strong and YES to you getting back to you and your children having a happy mum. I bet that'd be the best gift ever for them. Your poor DD, I'm sure she has some of her mum's strength and will get through her OCD and everything. That sounds so hard. What a hideous man your ex is saying you wouldn't be strong enough to fight cancer. You're proving him wrong every step of the way only you're doing it for YOU and for your children. The fact he'll be spitting feathers to see you happy is just the cherry on top 😆.

Good luck at the hospital today, hope you get some good news or a plan at least.

Also, morning spoonies! Hope everyone is well.

That's so lovely that you look after your DGC on mondays @Apolloneuro 😍. Hope you had some lovely cuddles. Are you feeling a bit better now?

I've had an online meeting with our developer and now off to our usual coffee shop to meet my boss. I'm a bit anxious as think my DS is getting around his screen time by logging out of iCloud 😕. It's not very strict at all, just literally overnight. If he is, he's also feeling guilty about it as he's being really nice and helpful. I need to work out if it is likely that is what he's doing and if I can stop him and then talk to him later, I suspect he'll admit straight away as he's not a very good liar. He's being a bit silly and getting quite a few behaviour points at school which I think are in part due to tiredness. Parenting doesn't get easier, does it?! I think the 3 yo is easier at times 😂.

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 12/11/2024 10:21

Good luck at the hospital x

ChoccieCornflake · 12/11/2024 10:12

Loving the elephant in converse!!

ChoccieCornflake · 12/11/2024 10:08

Hello all! Sorry I've been off the radar while away at the weekend. Back now, so I'll catch up on all I've missed ASAP! In the meantime though - OMG your house is GORGEOUS @Imbluedalale !!!!!!!

Meanwhile33 · 12/11/2024 10:03

Morning Laura, hope your appointment goes well today. I enjoyed the elephant!

nornironlady · 12/11/2024 08:49

Good Morning Spoonies 😀Great catch up and loved the random running elephant! Good luck with your appointment today Laura and I will be in touch with you later on when I've got my head around the bits of the admin I'm doing. x

AdmittowearingCrocs · 12/11/2024 08:32

Morning Laura and spoonies 🌞 Hope your hospital appointment goes well today Laura and you get some good news 🌼 xx

Ruralretreating · 12/11/2024 08:28

I strongly identify with the running elephant 😂
Good luck at the hospital today @Imbluedalale

Hi @itsmylife7 , thank you so much for your lovely post . It’s funny because I’ve never felt strong, when I first got diagnosed my ex’s first words were ‘your not going to be strong enough to fight this your too weak’ but now I do feel like I’ve got little bits of strength in me xx

lol at the elephant - fitting for the toddlers IMO! Fortunately my OCD has never affected how I load a trolley but I can see why it would. Poor girl! But the joys of being able to do your shop, cook your food, live by your own timetable in your own space - I can’t wait for that for you!

It is fitting isn’t it @TealPoet 😂😂😂😂. Maybe my phone was playing the word association game?
Yeah my daughter also has a thing with light switches and checking windows are closed. She’s had a rough 2 years bless her , I was in hospital last year for 7 weeks with my depression, whilst I was there her grandad passed away, then I got cancer , then her great grandma passed away , all the stuff with me and my ex and then me being made homeless . She’s gone through a lot bless her xx

I love the running elephant 🤣🤣. When I was reading your message I was trying to work out whether you were referring to demented preschoolers or what 🤣.

Ah, that’s sweet that your daughter likes a neatly stacked trolley. To be fair, I’d quite like someone to stack my trolley neatly 😆.

It was nice at soft play today as not too busy for some reason. It is nice to sit in peace for a while 😁.

Hope you have an amazing sleep 😴 xx

Sorry @RaspberryBeretxx I was worrying I had offended you with the running elephant but I honestly don’t know how it appeared on there . Maybe because I typed running my phone thought ‘I know let’s associate that by adding a running elephant in pink converse ???😂😂😂
Oh having the trolley stacked is quite annoying as it takes you longer to get round as you have to stop at every aisle for a trolley check .
Glad you’ve had a nice day , it’s always nice to sit in peace . I’ve just been reading take a break magazine , I love it because you can read some of the stories and think ‘my life isn’t so bad after all’ . Just been reading a good story of where a woman was working at a beauty school and she gave one of her students one of her kidneys (she didn’t just pluck it out and hand it to her it was all done surgically and above board ) and they ended up falling in love and getting married . Now I’m sat here thinking what happens if they get divorced would she have to give her the kidney back? My thought process works in peculiar ways xx

That running elephant is fantastic!

I’ve had a nice day. We look after our baby granddaughter on Mondays and pick up the 4 year old from school. So lovely and cuddly xxx

Hi @Apolloneuro , how are you today?
Yeah about the running elephant I’ve no idea how it got there ??When I posted it and looked and saw the running elephant I had to look again incase my eyes were deceiving me . Baffled 😮
Glad you’ve had a nice day , I bet you love having your baby granddaughter and the little one and I bet it’s a huge help that you do that . I hope you got lots of kisses and cuddles xx
