You really are awesome you know - I'm so impressed you've somehow found the time and energy to chase up the school too! You are a force to be reckoned with!!

Sleep superbly well tonight, and have another fabulous day tomorrow!!

Imbluedalale · 18/11/2024 22:49

Oh that sounds amazing @Apolloneuro , I’m definitely in. We could discuss book launch outfits and put the world to rights xx

Ok. When you’re sorted I’ll suggest it again. If I set it up and anyone who wanted to join in pm’d me for the log in details, nobody would have to give out their email addresses etc.

Hi Laura, I’ve had a good day, went shopping with my sister. Then we went for lunch, which was lovely. Out again tonight with friends, back home now and have just watched I’m a celebrity!
It’s so good that your daughter has been shopping, it makes it all the more real that she is planning her new bedroom to be with you.
And that your son has been texting, how lovely is that! Your heart must be bursting with love.

Hope the school rings you tomorrow, without you having to chase them.

Sleep well knowing you are home. 🏠 🌺

Thank you @Apolloneuro , I get my internet next Friday. I’m looking forward to having a zoom chat with you and any other spoonies that wish to join. Will you be wearing your pink pvc trousers?xx

Ah, it sounds such a manic but amazing day! That’s brilliant you’re getting your fridge and washing machine tomorrow 🥰. So happy for your proper home. Also super pleased that your eldest is being so loving and positive. You’ve won the battle I think, wining the war isn’t far off!! Have a great sleep 😴

RaspberryBeretxx · 18/11/2024 23:04

Apolloneuro · 18/11/2024 22:34

I’ve literally never done this before, but when Laura has her internet sorted, does anyone fancy a group zoom? See what people think in a couple of weeks xx

I’d love that 🥰.

if people felt comfortable a WhatsApp group could be an option too to share more pics etc although it’s also lovely to have the thread here so new people can join 💕.

Ruralretreating · 18/11/2024 23:05

Back home with phone! Just catching up on thread before bed. Incredible @Imbluedalale ! Overjoyed for you! Truly. The house is gorgeous, you are safe, your parents are supportive and your children excited and happy for you. And the spoonies all trying not to cry 😂. Perfect. Sleep well

Your day and evening sounds absolutely wonderful @Nottogetapenny . What did you have for your lunch?I had a tuna and onion panini with salad which was lovely from the cafe in the range. Btw that was the biggest hugest the range I’ve ever been to it was over 2 floors and was massive , you needed a taxi to get to one end to the other and it even had a big Iceland in there .
It’s been a lovely day speaking to my children they have all wished me luck and said they can’t wait to see house . And I was very surprised that daughter bought stuff for her new bedroom she seemed really chuffed with what she got too.
I hope you sleep well too and thank you so much for your support xx

Oh my goodness, I've just come across this thread and I've never been so happy to see a poster back! I was one of the early posters on your original thread, and I was so worried about you.

I'm so amazed by how far you've come! What a lovely new home you have! And I'm so pleased you're back on speaking terms with your parents and that they are taking such good care of you.

Wishing you every happiness in your new home.

Apolloneuro · 18/11/2024 23:50

Glad you found us @Wibblywobblybobbly

Grrrpredictivetex · 18/11/2024 23:54

Glad you've had a great day Laura.
You so deserve this house and your children will be there beside you becoming a family again. ❤️

TealPoet · 19/11/2024 00:14

This is amazing! It looks great already - love the bedding! I’m so glad your mum and dad are helping so much and your children are reconnecting. It probably won’t be smooth-sailing all the time, but the less they hear ex’s poison, the better your ongoing relationships with them will be.

Grr at the school though!

nzeire · 19/11/2024 05:18

Absolutely bloody delighted for you! What a fabulous place! And your parents! Wow! (Better late than never!!!)

this is my feel good story of 2024, thankyou for hanging in there, what an incredible woman you are xxx

spoonfulofmustard · 19/11/2024 05:19

it looks amazing laura @Imbluedalale such an exciting time for you and i hope you'ce had a cosy nights sleep in your new bed xx

nornironlady · 19/11/2024 06:06

Good morning spoonies. I hope @Imbluedalale is having a good lie in after all the excitement of yesterday.
I could be persuaded on that zoom call @Apolloneuro much as I hate seeing myself on screen 😂
It's great to hear all the good advice and support here is paying off for Laura in all areas. I couldn't be happier for you.
It's back to the office for me today but no snow or ice here so it's fine!

Hi @Wibblywobblybobbly , how are you? It’s lovely to hear from you. Thank you for reading my thread and for your lovely comments they really are so appreciated.

Good morning @TealPoet , how are you today? Good I hope.
Bedding is super cozy even the sheet is furry (I can’t think of the right world to describe the material 😂)
No your right it definitely won’t be smooth sailing all the time but it is yesterday and hopefully today so I’m taking all the wins whilst I can 😂
I’ve got some crumpets for breakfast so might get myself out of bed in a mo and have one and then I’m going to sort out some stuff in house , contact school and do some house admin to sort bills out . Then got fridge freezer and washing machine coming later . Hope you have a lovely day @TealPoet xx
