It's all about......ME! :)

[BibiBlocksberg]

Hello to all and a Medal for those of you that stayed over all 16 pages of the 'It's all about him' thread.

Since it has gotten so big and since I will most likely going to be droning on about this for a little while I thought it would be easier to just start a new thread.

Must say I prefer the new title

For those that didn't read the mammoth previous thread, in a nutshell it's about me dithering to leave partner of 8 years. No sex life for a year, he's very self centred and unmotivated etc, no future to speak of, fed up.

Finally told him I want to split up last night so am now using MN as my lifeline to ensure I really do get out of this excuse for a relationship.

Thank you all again for letting me do this and your support :)

No to the mulled wine but your spot on with the presents on the 24th for Germans.

Yes please to the wrapped gingerbread, thanks very much, what a lovely thought!

If only I had some white icing! Never mind.

DP's family are German and they have had all their things tonight. My parents ask what they do on Christmas Day then, and TBH I don't know! What are the German Christmas Day traditions?

And how calm and peaceful and Christmassy are you feeling?

Stille nacht, that takes me back a bit!

Christmas day is very similar to English traditions, ie family come over (the ones you didn't see on 'heilig abend ( translates to holy evening)

Lots of food etc, games, play with presents you got the night before.

The day after is then like boxing day here - vegging out in front of Christmas films, more food etc.

I remember all the shops being shut for 3 solid days over Christmas when I lived there. Unimaginable here isn't it :)

Feeling ok about the whole event this year had a few wobbles earlier but now mainly v tired.

Am going to round up the furry toe biters and hit the hay.

Lovely talking to you as always, sleep well and hope santa is good to you in the pressie stakes later :)

Frohe Weinachten, Bibi
Probably misspelt, but hey - it's about 30 years since I last spoke German!!

Happy Christmas everybody else, too. Aren't we lovely.

Perfect spelling Grace, very impressive!!

Really am off to make friends with my pillow now :)

Bibi I have been following your threads from New Zealand so be assured that many people from all over the world !! are I am sure, caring about you and hoping you enjoy your Christmas this year.

I like your awareness that there are many more Christmases to come which you know will be much better.

I admire your fortitude and agree with everyone else that you are doing the right thing. Chin up! Just keep going :)

I shall say goodbye from the blue blue skies of NZ (sorry :)) and hope your day has some good food and various other comforts.

Merry Christmas Bibi! I'm just making a big fry up for all the family - have a virtual sausage. I do have my own show - sadly it's just in my head....

popping in to wish Bibi and all the Bibettes a peaceful and calming xmas x

Merry Christmas Bibi!

How are you today?

It's Chrissssssstmaaaaaas

Hello, thanks for the messages, they're just what I needed. Had a long lie-in and am quite happy pottering around contemplating what time to put my turkey crown on to cook :)

Did have a bit of a wobble earlier thinking that if he can't be bothered to even send me a text at Christmas then he really doesn't give a shit about me does he.

Over that now and enjoying the freedom to watch the silliest Christmas film going without any huffing and no stupid noises from his playstation either.

Find it amazing to think that people on the other side of the world know my story and are also cheering me on. Thank you porcupine.

As mr holder says, Merry Christmas everybody!!

Enjoy your day.

(BTW I have sent you a PM).

Oi - cats. Off!

I SAID OFF!

Merry Christmas Bibi!

PHEW! Just in time Katisha, they were sniffing around my feet with a hungry look in their eyes

Merry Christmas to you too!!

I am having my xmas sherry now, after a busy morning

thinking of you bibi

heading off to parent's for dinner soon

laters x

Hi AF thanks for the wave on the other thread :)

Enjoy your dinner am just about to dish up mine.

Am so impressed that I've cooked myself a Christmas dinner. Super noodles can only take you so far on the meal stakes :)

Bon appetit Bibi!

Ooh, your thread's so multinational

do they do turkey flavour supernoodles ?

They must do! They do Christmas dinner flavoured crisps!

a peaceful xmas to you too, grace x

It is, thanks AF. You have fun. x

Hey, I'll thank you not to give away my REAL dinner choice AF :)

Never thought about the turkey flavour crisps actually, dang that would have saved a bit of money and effort

I am stuffed now, I do make a lovely roast dinner even if i do say so myself :)

It's just weird because I usually don't bother doing nice things just for me. I blame MN. Terrible influence to look after yourself this place!!

The weirdest thing just happened - just sat down ready to chow into a big box of Christmas choccys when there's a knock at the door.

Opened it and there's a little boy id say he was about 6 singing we wish you a merry Christmas

His dad then appeared behind him and the family cat who the boy told me had followed them from home for a walk.

I was so stunned i gave the boy £1 and wished him a good Christmas.

The dad didnt say a word and just seemed to want to rush by pretending he was a stranger. Until the boy said that's my dad and then he proceeded to hover behind the boy looking 'thuggish'

I mean really, who would take their child Carol singing on Christmas day??????

That does seem a bit bizarre. As if trick or treating or something...

I know Katisha, still puzzled about that one! Its one way to recoup some of the cost of Christmas I suppose :)

It's not something I would agree to do with my child on Christmas day.

Weird!!!

OK talk later - just making the DSs go out carol singing...

They'd better not come back without twenty quid each.
