Ooh ooh! Do I get to start it?

Wine and cake all round. And a celebratory burst on the patriarchy-blasting cannon!

Old pub here

It's pretty hot here too. (UK southeast.)

Friday has arrived and is very, very cross with Thursday for the appropriation. It's demanding wine and crisps in reparation for the hurt feelings. What can I do except try to make it up to poor old Friday? Some friends are coming round in a minute and we're going to lie in the pool with something chilly, it's the temperature of the sun here (foreign parts).

Hi bungowomble! It's interesting times at the moment, isn't it?

Hullo, this seems as good a place as any to say thanks to all the intelligent, articulate, aware women on these boards for educating me and opening my eyes a bit. Whatever happens with 'mums'net, following the TA batshittery, it's been an interesting journey.

To be fair, I had some ginger fizzy stuff again today. Maybe there is something in all of this?

Hello everybody, I've not been here in ages, so sorry if I've missed important things.

EElis sorry to hear about your difficult separation, I hope the house with nice vibes works out. My sister is just coming out of a similar sounding relationship and she's so much happier now her and her dcs are settled in their new house (and she didn't even get good vibes from it when she first saw it, it was 'good enough' and in her price range - lovely now she's decorated it)

I'm having a lovely Thursday so far. Dd1 got her GCSE results this morning and has done fabulously well, so we're going out for dinner later to celebrate.

Thursday has let me know that it now identifies as Friday and its preferred pronouns are "wine" and "crisps". I am compelled to respect its choices in life Grin

Glad the house gave you a good vibe, EElisaveta.

NeverEverAnythingEver · 25/08/2016 12:16

If you check back tomorrow I can give you a more positive answer. Grin

erinaceus · 25/08/2016 12:02

Thank you. Flowers

NeverEverAnythingEver · 25/08/2016 07:43

Soon, darling, soon.

erinaceus · 24/08/2016 23:57

Where is Friday? Is it on its way?

myownperson · 23/08/2016 12:50

That sounds very hopeful. Fingers crossed.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 23/08/2016 11:11

It was a nice house, I had a good feel about it. I've made an offer so hoping it may happen. It will be lovely to be settled and feel safe with my girls. Focussing on that. Thank you vipers for your support!

NeverEverAnythingEver · 23/08/2016 09:44

Hope the viewing goes well EElisaveta.

myownperson · 22/08/2016 12:35

Yes, let us know how the viewing goes.

FreshwaterSelkie · 22/08/2016 12:30

Sorry to hear things are difficult, EElisaveta Flowers

Good luck with the house viewing.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 22/08/2016 12:20

Thank you, it's helpful to have your support. I have a house viewing booked for this afternoon so may drop in later and catch up with lovely feminist pub goers.

myownperson · 22/08/2016 12:18

Hi Elisaveta. Sorry to hear it's so difficult at home. I left my husband this summer. The stage you are at is very tough.

erinaceus · 22/08/2016 12:11

EElisavetaOfBelsornia

Welcome. You are safe here.

I am trying to Monday and it is not going well. I think I will come back to the pub on Friday. Sigh.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 22/08/2016 11:35

Thanks Xeno. I'm working on getting out but it's a struggle every step. I am determined though, I need to do this for my lovely DDs and myself.

Xenophile · 22/08/2016 11:21

Sorry to hear your DH is a wanker, feel free to hide/rant/talk here.

Keep safe
