Too have spent £100 on lunch for myself (vouchers used)

[tofollowtheclouds]

I finally found the balls strength to split from my OH a few days ago. Although I burst into tears at the thought of it all and am still not 100% confident that I can keep to this (he is begging for us to "give it another go") I know 100% that it is the right decision after everything he has put me through over the years.

So today, to cheer myself up, and congratulate myself for finally doing it I decided to go to a very posh restaurant and spend the vouchers I had been given from work ages ago on a blow out lunch.

I have sat in the sun and enjoyed lobster and champagne and haven't given two hoots to the cost as I have it covered in vouchers.

Am feeling so relived and just know that happiness without that constant burden is just around the corner

sounds devine.

Hell no! Good for you! ENJOY YOUR MOMENT!

Excellent idea! Enjoy yourself and be positive about the future -it's hard now but will get better. Kick start your new life with Moet & Chandon!

Not wanting to make you all jealous as you've all been so lovely this is my view

But you so deserve it.

Absolutely brilliant !!!! Good for you...enjoy every minute my lovely ...x

Oh how lovely OP...I was thinking what on earth would cost £100 for lunch, but I hadn't considered champagne!!

Feast your eyes on that view and savour every morsel, you must feel as free as a bird!

I am so jealous! Have a fab lunch

Your lunch sounds a good way to mark your first step away from your STBXOH - and a new beginning for you. Very envious of your beach view (it looks a wee bit like Braye Beach on Alderney to me!)

Do you deserve it?

Damn straight you do.

Not keen on lobster, but I'll come and help you with that champagne and view.

Of course you deserve it! Enjoy.

Contact your old friends too. I bet they'll be so relieved to have you back.

I'm surprised you can still post after two bottles of champagne

You deserve it! Enjoy.

You do deserve it op, well done, have one on me x

Good for you OP! You deserve to treat yourself!

Thank you so much
I feel inspired by this more than you can imagine
I too hope I will follow u example and drink champagne and toast a fresh start

Just remember, next time he says that he wants to 'give it another go', is that giving it 'another go' hardly every works. When it's over, it's over.

The freedom of being single after years of an unhappy marriage is a joy like no other.

Hope your hangover's not too bad

Congratulations! And fair play to you, you're dead right. Sounds like a lovely way to spend an afternoon, and to celebrate having made a massive decision, and also your newfound freedom. I hope you really enjoyed yourself. 🍾

Good for you
The world is your lobster now!

Here's to your new life OP You've started as you mean to go on, so make the most of it

Well fucking done you.

Absolutely the least unreasonable thing I've heard all week

Hope you enjoyed every second
