I moved into my new flat and even though it's very basic, it is a world away from the rough bedsit I was in and i'm so happy

I finally got everything done and put all my bits and pieces up and it looks like my standard of a showhome lol

I asked my mum if she would like to come over for dinner tonight. I also invited her husband as I thought it would be very unfair not to. She accepted and they were supposed to be arriving at 6pm. I invited her last week so plenty of notice and she said yes straight away. So table laid and 3 course meal cooked which has taken me all day to prepare because I wanted it to be perfect and it cost the best part of £50 and at 6:05, just as I noticed they were late my mum phoned and said they weren't coming because her husband doesn't want to. I asked if he was ill and he is fine. I asked if just my mum wanted to come alone and she said that her husband doesn't want to stay in the house on his own and he ranted on about how disrespectful it would be if my mum went out and left him alone. I am so upset at being second place. All this trouble i've gone to today and now my appetite is gone to eat it on my own

Goodness, I think I'm sleep deprived. I've just read this thread from the beginning and cried!

awwwwwwwww

very unmumsnet urge to hug you

I've just read this thread, but I've heard about your troubles with your mum.

I wouldn't try and expect anything from her, she will always let you down

But you now have this golden opportunity to start a fresh and make a wonderful life for yourself - and this man could well be a part of it. He does sound lovely!

Take it easy and be happy and most of all love yourself! And don't forget you've always got us to pick you up and dust you off when your down

How lovely! So pleased for you. Made me feel a bit goosebumpy!

Do please let us know how Thursday goes!

lola, so glad you made something of the evening, hope it leads somewhere.

Forget your mother, she is needy and a user, only interested when it suits her and she wants something (usually money) from you. Well done on getting out but make sure she doesn't keep you at her beck and call and don't give her any more chances.

Awwwwww really pleased for you Lola, was laughing about the wee when dh asked what was up - his considered opionion, your new man probably doesn't like bridget Jones but it sounds like he does like you!!!

Have a lovely day on thurs and again distance yourself from your mother, you do not need this you are working hard to change your life don't let her drag you down.

Lola - did you see him again?

Oh I'm glad this thread has been resurrected. How did it go? [nosey emoticon]

What a fabulous thread - my goosies have goosies

I haven't read any of your old threads Lola, and am at your mum. Fancy cancelling 30 minutes before a dinner date. What did she think you were having? Beans on toast? Bint!

Ah well - it seemed to work out really well for you in the end didn't it? Did you see him again?
