To start a TWELFTH thread that nobody responds to?

[AverageGayLad]

See that? A Twelfth. Not the.

Welcome to the twelfth (it DOES look a weird word ) thread that nobody responds to! We're a fun bunch, the most fun on mumsnet!! I cba to list everyone and who they are, but I'm sure newbies will get to know us through our posts A couple of quotes from posters, which will have to do as opposed to me writing a description of everyone:

I'd like the words mysterious, mystical and endowed with supetnatural powers after my name please, AGL. says Bettercallsaul1

MyDressIsInferiorBlue adds:
Get a battery operated rabbit they are less trouble than a man but can still thrust (and always on demand too, unlike a man)

AGL I'd like the words 'hot', 'intellectual' and 'witty' after my name, please. No 'flouncing', 'dunno' or 'Co-Op Boy' (the latter is well and truly over). says ItShouldHaveBeenJess, as well as being quoted telling us:
I'd be happy with a thrust. Just one.

Let the insane posts, photos and pouting begin!

Rough
Cough
Bough
Nought

I rest my case.

Ah the English language is a bitch!

being that man was a predator. How awful for you and the other girls. I hope he's not in any position of responsibility for teenage girls now. Disgusting man. I'm glad you got yourself a nice guy after.

Jess turning a corner is fantastic. So please for you.

Shall we just say 'cream tea' and be done with it? (jam first, though - will not apologise for that)

Blue, yes he was. I don't think he works with kids anymore though. I haven't seen him in ages and I'm not sad about that.

But fascinating, Being! It would be much duller without all its idiosyncrasies!

Would be easier to teach and learn though.

No, cream first, Jess, as the clotted cream takes the place of butter.

True, Being - but there's often a choice between something being easy/straightforward and complex/interesting.

better. Hmmm. Am not sure of the 'proper Cornish' technique (will have to check with Ms Castis). I think jam on top would look more aesthetically pleasing....

I'll just take a bite of each without all the faffing about.

After last night, I just wanted to say, in case anyone out there is still in a DV&A relationship, although its tough still dealing with problems caused by ex, I promise you my life is 1,000 times easier now than it ever was with him. Yes he causes problems, yes he still has the ability to do things to upset me but it is nothing, nothing at all, compared to the hell that was living with him. Being a single mother is a piece of cake in comparison to living with him. I live now rather than merely exist. I no longer feel drained/exhausted. I am a better mother to my children because I have more energy and more time to devote to them. My children are totally different, much more playful, much happier (even though at the time I thought they were happy when we lived with ex). Leaving felt impossible but I got through it and I am so glad I did. So please don't think that because I find some times tough now, that its not worth leaving. It is.

That seems a good compromise, Jess - also a bite of each means two scones!

Oh and re toad. I'm glad you've pm'd her being, so she knows we are thinking of her. Hopefully she'll be back soon.

blue. Spot on.

Am ridiculously happy and playful today without the looming possibility of ex arriving. Yes, he still attempts to fuck with my head, but have reached the stage of disattachment (I may have made that word up!)

My life now is so much better (better?) now. DS seems happier too.

Love ya, Blue

You're right Better, but when you teach children who have English as an additional language, it's bloody confusing.

Jess, do you mean detachment?

Another issue with bloody English.

UNimpressed
ANTIsocial
DEtached
NON- negotiable

Ridiculous!

You see, Being, new words being added to the language as we speak...!

That was to Jess's invention!

Are you going back to work next week, Being? Are you all prepared? (Sorry if this is bad subject!)

Heathens the lot of you

Blue Brilliant post! Hope another DV victim has read that.
You are safe, you are away from him, you will get over him. The physical scars heal and the mental ones take longer. He will always be in your head but he's not chipping away. Your dc will thank you in time.
You can and already are being you again. You're doing great lady and I speak as one who has the t- shirt with been there on it.
The old saying time is the greatest healer is true. Keep it up you're not alone.
for having the courage to go places you thought you'd never go. You're winning

Today's viewing to distract me keep me going whilst planning.

Watching 'say yes to the dress'. May be addicted 😂🙈

Portia - have read that distinction before. Just can never remember which is which! won't stop us arguing about it, though

An excellent choice, Being! Must rewatch myself after OITNB.
