Dumpling no more - only the strong survive and we did No.1

[Teaandcakeplease]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without him by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong

This thread is for ex dumplings Any dumpling that feels like she has "mostly" moved past crisis into an "almost" sorted state can post and chat here as we continue our quest for serenity with a lot of laughs along the way and support.

I shouldn't laugh but your humour in your post made me smile offschool, very funny. Agree with Googoo

Oh yes Kate whoop whoop about the washing machine, how fantastic! So so nice to not have to go backwards and forwards to the old house anymore.

How selfish of him to take the dog Off School, makes me feel cross for you.

Oops sometimes that happens but I'm loving my new phone,ggm maybe UR tiredness is a
result of UR emotional change recently.such an awakening for u .on to page
76 of Mrs dalloway BTW .Septimus isn't right at all is he ,and sally seton fancy her having sons and a large house nr manchester.

Oh and dd keeps getting out of bed to tell me a reason she cant sleep .most recent one is all her burping has woken her up .cue various hand jesturing to add to the drama of the incident.

Just got a new phone - my old one was a hand me down from my ex. I just looked down at it today and thought...nah, fuck it. Get a new one. So that's what I've been doing tonight - never had a mobile before I moved out!!!

So will prolly give his old one to the girls so they can speak to him - and my cute little touch screen will be for me :)

I'll catch up on the thread tomorrow - hope everyone is OK.

BTW cheesybellend has agreed to pay £240 a month towards his girls. Just got an email from him.

Ah good stuff kate ,I've not had a good phone in ages and yeah good to treat urself. Enjoy !

Waves to all.......

Kate, that is fantastic news about cheesy stepping up to the plate. Assertiveness rocks

Goo, I'm also wrecked atm & really under pressure from all angles atm. Lol at stuffing the dog!

Had the pleasure of having root canal today . Feel fed up with everything tonight. Am really under pressure trying to juggle college atm, had 2 extra sessions this wk & loads of assignments & am really behind on everything over dc's being off school for nearly a mt over ice & xmas. Had youngest dd's b'day last wk & eldest dd's on sat & am digging deep to find energy for party & SLEEPOVER for 7 on sat!! Feel like I want to crawl into bed for a wk. Also have slight financial insecurity atm as over next ten days or so I will have shelled out over 2500 on extras such as my college tuition fees, new glasses for dd, dental fees & new laptop (absolute necessity as I need it for MN college & aside from it being in pieces I recently observed a jet of smoke gush out the side of it ). Meanwhile that p*k has the gall to give me 600 a mt maintenance! Rant over for now but might need to come back as the rage is bubbling intensely...........

Ok sorry am back already to rant further On top of having dc's 24/7 so having to pay a babysitter every time I move I equally am supposed to consider myself lucky if I do actually receive the 600 & never know from mt to mt if it will arrive or not and I can do absolutely sweet feck all about this as the fr has declared himself bankrupt so on paper he's broke! Kate, I'm sorry I take that prize back from your x over washing machine & firmly give it back to it's rightful owner.........FUCKWIT

Ok am hopeful that might have done it . Thank you for your patience lol

Starting It's so crap that we have to deal with everything that RL piles on us, as well as their shit and making sure the dc's life is OK.

Feel free to rant away!

I think a joint prize is on the cards - sounds like they are both bellends of the highest order.

...and my first payment from him is due on the 26th. hmmm is he agreeing? or biding for time? No difference to me. If it's not in my bank account on the 26th. CSA, no warning, no discussion.

We are surviving - and we are going through a lot of crap while we do it...just found out I've got to interview for my job asap. (had to reapply for it - but was hoping to get slotted in...but no such luck!)

Shakes fist at sky "come on Lady Luck? Where are you"

ahhh - she's just answered. Making sure the biggest Prick I ever met was out of my life was one of her favours!

Thanks Lady Luck

Very funny snatching back award from Kate Starting .

Happy vibes sent forthwith

Patience lol @ dd

Sov thanks for website when are you posting regularly again ?

God Kate I'm loving your kick ass attitude & it's kind of shaken me off the pity pot aswell

ahhh - she's just answered. Making sure the biggest Prick I ever met was out of my life was one of her favours! That is a classic & so so true lol. You're right, things aint so bad........

Kate isnt it a formality ? The job I mean . Oh and cheese in your xh bellend makes me feel sick can we just stick to less imaginative insults pleeeease

getting nicer names from now on

starting lol - watching 'Kick Ass' as I type. Got it out from work as its my mid week when he has the girls...so I had a nice tea and watched a dvd!

Obviously influenced how I'm feeling :)

Getting...........Waves hope all's well with you atm

Kate, that's it, I'm dumping The Compassionate Mind & off in persuit of Kick Ass lol..............Am obviously on the wrong track completely

getting I would have been slotted it if no one else had applied for my job...but 9 people have applied for 4 jobs :(

I'm not really worried - but will find it hard to be motivated, and I don't really like interviews. But I am going to have to do it. It is a better deal for me...so more money for me and my girls...so I have to keep that in mind. But you know when you already feel a bit worn down by every day life...it's just an added pressure.

Still am betting you will get the job Kate just sprinkle some dust on them !

Yep Starting all is very well with me atm . Am thinking you should ditch compassion it may add to your barrister fees !

Well crashed last night after flight and just woken up.

Kate, glad xh has come through with the money for now at least but no second chances as you say. If I do get made redundant my xh is gonna have one hell of a shock. He sees me as a source of money so that would shake him just a bit.

Starting, hope your serenity is returning. Do these xhs really have no idea what it costs to run a family.

But I do smile a little as I write as OW will be finding out just how XH deals with money now that he is there with her.

Kate, what a pain to have to interview for the job, I am sure though that your serenity will shine through.

Well in addition to redundancy worry for tomorrow have all of the DS stuff coming to a conclusion one way or another at the end of the week which means contact with the saint a freaking gain.

I can hardly wait.

MumFun, bit late but glad to hear that support for ds is looking good. Festivals? .

Waves to Getting and Patience. Pink, where have you gone my lovely?.

Goo - please add to your list:

A box containing shoe polish

Unbelievable!

Waves at Citydoll.

Shoe polish

Hi Everyone - here goes........

Sov - I think that website is great and refer to it all the time now

City - Hi -and yes I think that may be the lowest item taken so far but Kates H still wins for f*wittery atm by taking the item his left behind children would most need- grrr

Offschool - love the humour and yes Goo - agree :)

Happy lots of keep job vibes. But I do agree I would love to see BE face if he thinks sugarx might not exist for him any more

Patience - glad you got some compensation out of them -leaast you deserve and hope you are not securely back online

Kate yay for new phone. I really want one and am existing on 5 year old hand me down but have started to research and will get one soon. And super yay for assertiveness and kicking ass. It really pays as Im finding out recently. I have not been assertive enough with H but am starting to be - basically because have reached healthy place where will live without him very happily. I am actually embarrassed it has taken me this longe and some of you newer dumplings have shown me up but hey you can only do what you can do. And to answer Getting. H lives in own place - super strong boundary. OW is no more and has been for some time - but shuld I kick him into touch no doubt she would take him back. Im not sure about love - I used to love him so much. It will never be that again. I am so detached now that he doesnt affect me. I think it is that if he changed and really got himself sorted I could love him again -I think thats it. And all the great plans are me and friends and kids. I told him recently he was missing out hugely - and he is. He will not be happy seeing what he will miss this year.But whatever.

Lady Luck has not beeen great to some of us recently -but glad we can see positives in the end. Kate - hope you get a better paid job.

Starting - hope you teeeh are ok now - mine have played up again recently too - and I am goibg to have to spend a lot soon again grrrr. Hope you can get best finaancial place you can - super grrrrrr for him. You and Kates Hs are doing their best to overcome all other twunt competition

Happy - yes festivals and other stuff.

Keep having friends leaving this area which is sad - and another good friend goes very soon - but bonus is lovely place to visit in summer :)

Waves to everyone else. I am really really tired and am going to have duvet day today. Back later :)

Hey everyone just a quick one to say broadband back on tomorrow so will be able to post regular again YAY!!!!!! :o:o:o
