wrt what a poster said last page about deleting the whole threads.

if you need to do that then please do so.

If the threads all disappear we will all just keep fingers crossed and wait for some good news later on.

theDreadPirateDavina · 26/04/2009 21:04

I've just saved copies of this and the last thread just in case.

I guess we can always setup a new thread where we don't have to go into any of the specifics - can email a couple of you so you know where to look. But that's a bridge to cross later.

You OK Stars?

starsnstripes · 26/04/2009 21:05

Thank you everyone,so many replies.
Just putting children to bed,running late tonight.
H helped to bath them and is being accomadating for some reason.

Will be back later.

clam · 26/04/2009 21:18

We're going to need a new thread soon anyway. Number 3!!

theDreadPirateDavina · 26/04/2009 21:21

Am setting up a placeholder!

qwertpoiuy · 26/04/2009 21:34

Hi, Stars. I've been following your thread from Day 1 and sent a few posts in the original thread.
You have come a long way since then. You have found a real-life fairy godmother in DreadPirate. I just know you are going to do what you need to do! Even my dh keeps asking me how you're getting on.
I can see you writing a book on this in a couple of years!

DesperateHousewifeToo · 26/04/2009 21:36

Stars could you have a new thread in 'Food' or 'gardening' or something to make it harder to find

starsnstripes · 26/04/2009 21:38

Hi everyone.
Am confused about the email password unless he chnaged it on friday night when he had had a bit to drink and forgot.
Can't think why I can't access it otherwise.
I just remembered he also said have you got the caps lock on.

Hopefully we won't have to delete the thread as am sure he would not be able to stop himself from saying something,especially with regards to stuff about his precious family.

I have been thinking abpout what my sister said and wonder if she meant it is not like me to label someone and think bad of them.

Reassuring information about sercurity that is one thing that worries me.

The woman from WA said to keep checking daily for spaces being available in the area I specified.

I have never done a trolley dash,sounds fun.

AS for visitors they said you can arrange to meet people away from the refuge.
I don't think my sister is concerned about the social aspect ,maybe she thinks it will make H more annoyed to be labelled that way.

Thanks dread for saving the thread.
Just in case I do not to delete them.

starsnstripes · 26/04/2009 21:46

dreadpirate is my fairy godmother,now all I need is the prince.

Now there is an idea ,writing a book.
Although am terrible sometimes putting together what I want to say and making it flow correctly.
Could maybe call it

"Don't cry over spilt milk"

or

"Forgive us our daily bread"

Dread-great idea,or the saving money section,he definetly would'nt look in there.

Flibbertyjibbet · 26/04/2009 21:55

Oh good, it looks like I just misunderstood your sisters meaning. I thought the last thing you need is someone close to you making you doubt what you are doing.

Dread can you fit a trolley in your boot?

If he has changed your password then he will remember it. Would anyone admit to doing something like that?

His reply is exactly what a manipulative person would say. You ask him a question and he replies with a question to you.

Glad you've got another email address that he doesn't know about.

Its heartbreaking how him and his dad seem to favour your ds. I wonder if they've all been bred to view females as, well, nothing? In which case the earlier you get your daughter out of there and away from that sort of vibe the better. And the earlier you get your son away from that sort of superior male thinking the better too.

Damn, there should've been a on the name suggestion...

Rialentless · 26/04/2009 22:02

more good advice for you tonight stars.

And I agree - no more frogs for you! (OK, wrong fairytale)

do you fancy a name-change for the new thread? and a couple of code words so we can find you? garibaldi anyone?

BTW, you are FINE with linking your words/thoughts together. And I think you should call your book - Screw You!

Flibbertyjibbet · 26/04/2009 22:02

Can I be flibbertyjibBOOT

theDreadPirateDavina · 26/04/2009 22:03
Grin
Rialentless · 26/04/2009 22:06

x-post with DP & the boot

BTW am have become regularish poster on your threads, just am also regular namechanger - keep an eye out for the "Butterflies" bit

Cazzaben · 26/04/2009 22:06

I agree about the stuff with your sis...
sometimes people feel like its not sociably accepted to be in a refuge... But they are designed for people like yourself stars. (not wanting to sound like I'm dismissing your sister's advice)

Please stars listen to the people on here who have been there and know.

Your thread has touched my heart stars and I know I can't give any advice to you (im only a baby really LOL) But I do pray for you and I keep logging on every day to find out how your day has been... I live in Hampshire and not too far away if you needed anything to be stored. I have a big car so could come and pick it up for you.

You are a true inspiration Stars...
Love to you and your DC's

xxxxxxxx

Cazzaben · 26/04/2009 22:11

oops! x posts Stars glad that you know your sis is on your side xx

starsnstripes · 26/04/2009 22:15

He would'nt admit to changing it but am going to call the BT helpdesk tomorrow and pretend I have forgotten it and they should tell me what the new one is ,then I will now.

I think his father is a bit old fashioned in his ways re male and female.

Name change sounds good and the section would definetly throw him off the scent.
I will see what BT have to say tomorrow.
Keep thinking am I spelling it correctly ,is it just me who has forgotten it.

screw you sounds good as well.
Will be thinking of more titles now,open to suggestions.

Flibberty-that's a good one.

theDreadPirateDavina · 26/04/2009 22:19

If BT won't let you have the password, best get paranoid.

How often do you usually need the password? Have to admit I've got my laptop set to remember everything so I don't have to

starsnstripes · 26/04/2009 22:22

Will watch out for the butterflies.

cazzaben,thank you,that is really kind of you.

Have been thinking a lot today about a new house and where it might be.
I think dread already has plans for a shopping trip to our local market .
dread-am looking forward to be able to access the new library and also a visit to the spice stall and secondhand book shops.
Also that cinema we talked about the other day.

Flibbertyjibbet · 26/04/2009 22:22

I was tempted to flounce at being called a boot!

Of course you think you've forgotten it, thats the way you've been programmed... to assume that its all your fault.

We are with bt, there is a question you choose when you set up your email and then when you forget your password you click on 'forgotten password?' and the question will come up.

Have you tried that? Sorry if I'm insulting your intelligence!

Rialentless · 26/04/2009 22:24

how about a mis-quote from Led Zeppelin -

I've been dazed and confused for so long, but NOW IT'S YOU!

ok. am now getting silly
I think I've got everything "watched", so I should be able to keep up.

Rx

starsnstripes · 26/04/2009 22:24

I used to do that but if I forgot to log off anytime my DS was going on my laptop and changing my screensaver and going on my internet without the parental control set up.
So I changed it recently and told H.

Cazzaben · 26/04/2009 22:25

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do...

Just a quote that I sometimes read to myself (gives me a little nudge sometimes during those anxious periods) xxxx
