Has no-one beaten me to it yet?

Juicy sounding good.

WG old friend is worth seeing again.

Second not to arrange a meet up without me. Maybe down south in May.

ninah we will sort it somehow we will have our own left in the middle people^ meet
but a mega 'fit thread 'meet eventually would be lovely but what about all our respective dcs?
ohh i'm sure that we can somehow sort it at some point

Monty100 · 23/02/2010 23:34

Lol ASBM - don't start me doing the linkies to the handbags again Gin. Just joking I mean .

I might just go and have a cheap sainsbo's cream liquer Baileys after that. ISP keeps crashing, its driving me madder.

Expect most have gone to bed now.

Summer 'fit thread' meet up would be brilliant. We could make out we're a keep fit club. lolololol

Right so, I can do next Thursday or Friday. Have just thought of a nice venue next-ish to Russell Square tube. Just a pleasant, I suppose you would call it a gastro pub???? Sound ok? The wine is scrummy decent and reasonable.

kdk · 24/02/2010 10:09

Hi all - Russell Square/Euston-ish okay for me - I'm northern misery line - and still racking my brains for other Londoners/southerners ....

Like I said Wednesdays or Thursdays are best for me as I'm in central London anyway but am happy to come in specially for a meet-up.

Monty100 · 24/02/2010 10:32

Sponge are you available the following Thursday early doors or are you always on a late one on Thursdays?

It now appears it isn't a parent's evening on Thursday, it's an Options evening. Deep deep joy.

kdk · 24/02/2010 10:40

What a sort of get together and drink low-fat chocolate flavour drinks thing? Sounds appealing .... maybe try it with Baileys?

pinksmarties · 24/02/2010 10:40

Morning all, feeling so angry about latest stbx stunt I just don't know where to put myself.
I always put Vanessa Feltz on at 9am because I adore her but today she talking all about Cheryl Cole's breakup.... and I cba to listen to that.

Poor old Cheryl will be fine soon. She'll never have to go on match.com. This mornings burnt offerings included one man who listed amoung his "favourite things" "shopping at Lakeside and Bluewater" FFS, has it come to that ?

He's probably nicer than my "wolf in sheep's clothing" twunt though.

I don't know what to do with my anger, I'm fuelled by rage and it's stopping me from working, sleeping, functioning properly.

There's a twist in my tale which I can't mention on here at the mo, but it's tearing me appart.
I just want to yell and scream and smash things up but I can't because that would make things worse.

Am mid divorce and can't afford to anger him cos don't want him to get even twuntier because then I could lose everything.

I never in my life thought I could ever be this unhappy and desperate.

What's it all for, why are we hear ? I wish I wasn't.

I loved him SO MUCH, I don't understand.
He's now become an instrement of torture and he doesn't give a shit.
We had such a good life and he took it all away.

Sorry about tis ladies, It's sort of quite nice to know that you prob aren't around to read this at the mo because you are a nocturnal bunch. Feels like I'm writing in a diary.

Feels like everything is closing in on me. Feel like I just want to be by myself in a nice warm, cosy padded cell, all curled up and assleep, calmly dreaming of lovely things with no more worries and devastating divorce and heartbreak and fucking awfull, contemptable parents.

Going to my counceller now. It's only 50 mins and it flies by but it does help.

I don't need answers, there are none, just needed to write.

I'll come back later. x

pinksmarties -

sounds like your having a hard time of it. was thinking half way through reading your post you could do with some sort of professional help.. glad to see your undergoing counselling.

hopefully it will help you get everything into perspective.

your ex is a twunt.

we have some real cracking twunty exes on this thread so we understand.

your at the raw stage .... it'll pass. same as everything else. just hold it together and think "one day at a time"... and you will make it out the other side.

dont wish you weren't here.

because your dc would miss you... and if thats not enough reason to pull your socks up... then think on how selfish it would be to put them through the pain of loosing their mother.

wallowing with these thought dont do you any good.

are you on AD's.. i know they helped a few of the posters on this thread after the end of a bad relationship... i assume if your having counselling you probably already are.

as for the lakeside guy... was he fit, available and interesting... cant knock him for that.. at least he's being honest and saying his interests are normal stuff... rather than ridiculous snowboard from a mountain cliff-top that he probably doesn't do??

sincitylover · 24/02/2010 11:50

next thurs would be good for me

pinksmarties · 24/02/2010 12:11

Thanks Juicy, yes I'm on large amounts of ADs, sorry to sound so sorry for myself, just woke up like that.

Lakeside bloke was ok actually, and you're right about him being honest. Think I might actually quite enjoy browsing rounnd there with him now.

Juicy, you've turned me !

Got to work now, back tonite, and thanks.x

Remotew · 24/02/2010 12:26

Oh will look forward to a summer meet up then. I could go South.

Pinksmarties, hope you are feeling a bit better, be kind to yourself. These feelings won't last forever even if that's hard to believe just now. I agree with Juicy and everyone else that's been there, the point of it all is the children.

Depending on the rest of his profile, I wouldn't write Lakeside off. A bit of retail therapy can work both ways.

Had to about Cheryl Cole never having to go on match.com. I know she must be hurting but hey all that fame and fortune must to a great comfort. Not to mention all the georgous men she will have falling at her feet. Poor Cow.

Monty100 · 24/02/2010 12:49

Pink - you are allowed to vent. As the others have said, this too will pass. It's jumping over the nails in bare feet that you have to endure to get passed it. Try and think of the good things, your dc, your own future without exh, whatever he has done you didn't deserve it. Don't let him ruin your life. Things will improve when the divorce is settled. Hope you had a good session with the councillor.

Juice, your post to Pink made my eyes smart (and they still are) it was so lovely.

Kdk/SCL just waiting to hear from Sponge if she can do early doors next Thursday and then we're on.

Kdk - lol at Options evening. It's choosing GCSE's.

Anyways, I'm being naughty as I'm at work. So best be offski for now.

Ciao. lol

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/02/2010 13:16

.... finally got the option joke

i should be blonde sometimes.

pinksmarties · 24/02/2010 14:37

Thank you so much juice, eve and monty, you're all right, wish I was a more forgiving person, it would make life easier.

Nearly 1000 posts on here now ! do you think that's a record ?

Remotew · 24/02/2010 15:01

The thread closes at 1000 post and we have to start part 18. Who is going to open it this time?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/02/2010 18:02

part 18

kdk · 24/02/2010 18:52

I'm joining you belle - this was my latest
"how YOU doin'?
(you have to imagine me winking, pointing, and pretending my hand is a gun)."

Think I'll reply

'F*ck off creep

(you have to imagine me calling the police)
