Hey all
Sponge, did WM text back??
Lou, lol at the fry up, admire your restraint ref the bath
WingFlame
, am so glad you are in a good place ref Carrot but I have to say I don't know how you do it 
Managed to have reasonably civilised conversation with XH on Friday afternoon, ref him getting his stuff out of the house (apparently I can feel free to box it all up
, which I will do as is quickest way to get shot of it), also him having the DDs fortnightly at weekends now he has a flat.....turns out he was thinking that wouldn't happen until the decree absolute
- there I was thinking he would jump at the chance to see them for longer as soon as possible......at the root of it would seem to be the fact that his DP hasn't met the dds yet. So I suggested he have a chat with DD1 in particular and then arrange a couple of hours meet up. Ever felt like the only mature adult?
Then I said about the fact that I really want to move on and having his stuff out of the house and him not being in the house on Fridays have to happen - he did concede that he can see what I mean.
But he has signed the next lot of paperwork and returned it to the court so at least that is progressing
Had lovely weekend with Raf and the dds - bonfires and fireworks, dog walks, swimming etc etc. He is amazing. Saturday night at friends' allotment bonfire party, DD2 was kicking off in her current, inimitable and noisy fashion and he just took her off for a walk and a chat and brought her back to me 15 mins later v contrite (her that is) and on best behaviour all the rest of the evening. Sunday out for lunch with a friend of mine and her dd, he did loo-duty with the 2 littles as my friend and I were still eating - came back with a grin on his face about the way the girls had been dancing round the washbasins to the background music
I feel the marital sofa calling...............
can't wait to see folks on Friday
. Wish you could come elasat, lou, BNM
