Fantastic Amanda - really really pleased for you.

And a big two's up to anyone who couldn't be pleased for you!

Lucky you.

In some companies it is corporate pollicy that one of you leaves if you're involced with someone at work - check your staff handbook and employment contract if not already done. Usually the lower earner goes - I think that's the normal practice but it depends what kind of place you work as to whether there are those rules or not.

Amanda, what a lovely update.
Will it continue to be a secret or will you be saying anything to your colleagues?

I'm so thrilled for you Amanda. You deserve it. And just ignore anyone who isn't as thrilled for you as we all are - they are just bitter and jealous!

Have a wonderful 2007.

Hi again - you know what though - it's absolutely NONE of your bosses business !!! It is extremely courteous of your chap to tell her rather than let her find out - but really it is none of her business ! So what she thinks doesn't matter !!

AND - would she dare do anything differently towards you ??? Surely not !!

Hope it's not too tense !

Judy1234 · 02/01/2007 11:01

A, it sounds lovely. A lot of people meet other people through work. I sometimes think working full time on my own (i.e. don't meet people) supporting 5 children on my own is just about the worst combination for finding a man. But I'm pleased for you.
Is he divorced or just separated and how old are his children? How often do they stay with him? I saw someone at the weekend who hasn't been allowed to see his daughter for 1 year. You can just feel all the angst and problems sometimes with these men.

sameshitdifferentyear · 02/01/2007 11:15

Right, I'm not going to get into anything here, but just wanted to say that it was me who said I didn't see what the big deal was about meeting a new guy. If you've read my posts properly, you'll see that it wasn't written in a nasty way, was just expressing an opinion. I didn't know about Amanda's history, but had a hunch that it was something that deserved a happy ending, and after a few MNetters explained it to me you'll also notice that my following posts were nicely written and wished her well too. Amanda seems to have accepted my opinion, as just that, an opinion, so there's not really any reason for anyone else to get arsey about it. For the record, I don't fall into the category of people who have a cob on because their threads don't get as much attention. I'm not that immature.

My Sister is a single Mum, and she's got a boyfriend of 9 months, who's a heavy drinker and isn't making much of an effort with my Nephew. Mind you, my Sister herself also drinks, and is adding to the problems. So, now I know more about Amanda, I do wish her, her DD and the new man all the best.

Can he be Mr Big with all his confidence and charm (and money) but Aiden with his reliability and commitment. (you can tell I was never convinced it worked out well with Big)
