Ok so the best plan is living well, getting my hair cut on friday might go from shoulder length to a shorter bob for a healthy hair ,quicker to style look ,also buy some new clothes asap and a pair of sexy spiky boots whenever i can just for fun,need to have an alternative to my trainers Smile

Patience - tai chi sounds really positive - do you think it's helping you to relax?

Getting - sorry to hear you're feeling down. My friend who is about 3 years down the line now told me that you do have these times of regression into the sadness but that they do go!

Starting - I think a positive plan would be a good idea. I'm a listmaker too and I think I need to think about the next year and what my goals are while I've still got a little one that needs me most of the time.

I have a hair appointment for Saturday and H and I are having family photos done next week. I am determined to look fbulous. Might fi shopping after the haircut if I have time too!

Really looking forward to the meet too

Def a little sanctuary in my crazy life ,just such gentle peaceful movements ,always come out refreshed and grounded but not really knowing why IYSWIM a bit like alanon LOL!I think it must work on a deeper place in ur mind as well as your body .They do call it meditation with movement.

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 26/08/2010 00:05

i saw that too starting but do you have to be divorced.... it did not let me join when i said was separated - did not want to fib (goody two shoes)

startingovernow · 26/08/2010 00:05

Think you're on the right track Patience. Was actually thinking of this myself as I never wear make up & y'day met a friend that was so groomed & looked yrs younger & fab. Made me realise that I think I'm getting to an age where clothes alone don't do it anymore Hmm............need to up my ante!

Patienceobtainsallthings · 26/08/2010 00:06

I'm probably closer to marc bolan or jimi hendrix naturally hence dark shades lady and layered shoulder length poker straight at the moment ,a good cut makes all the difference with curls, thanks ab, hows u
?

soverign21 · 26/08/2010 00:06

lmao sooo didnt do that right lol

hey everyone hope your all ok and feeling better been lurking but wallowing in self pity so havent posted :) will be back on soon just gotta let this pass and come up with a POA = plan of action

startingovernow · 26/08/2010 00:07

Sorry Armbow no idea if you have to be divorced, would seem odd though if that were the case....

Waves to Soverign....

soverign21 · 26/08/2010 00:13

X posts i seen the e harmony ad too am toying with the idea, do ya reckon i could get myself a nice soldier on there? that way i get perks and no everyday hassle lmao

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 26/08/2010 00:16

i am feeling ok - just still very flat and feeling quite bitter about the whole thing tbh.

totally cut him off now though. how can you be friends and be so close with someone for soooo long then not know what they are up to ?? (general pondering really don't feel you need to answer that Grin)

makeovers are great they put the focus back to where is should be i think - they have worn us down for too long.

going to get back to my positive and emotional steps (i had forgotten about them Wink)

sooooo tomorrow i am going to:

emotional: be polite but distant with h (he is seeing kids)
practical: chase solicitors

Patienceobtainsallthings · 26/08/2010 00:16

Ok when im curly i usually have the kylie bob,but only because i can still straighten it LOL!So thats cheatin' really like the 3rd one Sov thankyou so much 4 looking ! I think its between sovs 3rd one and my one with shades .I have never been a huge make up fan Startin but think now clothes and hair are good fun and i need a bit of fun ,sort of healthy natural grooming for me ,ate a bit today and ds swimming was fab.

startingovernow · 26/08/2010 00:17

Soverign, I'm liking the idea of perks without the everyday hassle Grin
