Dumpling no more - only the strong survive and we did No.2

[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.

Yeah I think February is going to be fabulous x

Oh poo Starting

I never liked the name Norman but he seemed like a good guy.

We will all go to Glasgow.

Waves to MumFun and all.

A hard night's piano playing tonight.

I have not called The Saint about the horse (sitting on fingers)

February will be good Patience. Perhaps the month of the RR for you. I will be having a Valentine's treat for myself in February. Perhaps a Soap and Glory night

Still singing from the opera this afternoon

And they sang .....

if you know that one.....

Any dream will do .....
One of my favourite dolly parton songs is my coat of many colours
" people are only poor ,if they choose to be "
So true ,life is what we make it ,its ours for the taking ,no matter what .

Talking of dreams, I dreamt last night that I sat next to a guy at work and he got an enormous hard on . Please keep it quiet though Patience. Just between you and me ok. Don't fancy him in RL so don't know what that was about.

Happy, that dream is sadly what happens in reality when you've been without sex too long . You reach the stage where suddenly you find yourself looking at the 70 something yr old shuffling down the road with a walking cane & you find yourself wondering if he can still get it up . Ok well perhaps that's only me so

Well moving swiftly on & seeing as you brought up the whole subject of the merits of the RR, think that is what I will be investing in next. Will be my valentines day present to myself .

Can't sleep over this whole business with Norm.

Ah Starting, I woke up too.

I'm wondering whether you should research a bulk order of RRs. Between us and the other thread I reckon say 10 to 15 should do it.

Patience if you could post a link perhaps we could eye some up. (will never sleep now)

Starting thats a shame but a lovely woman like you will find someone else soon enough if thats what you want. I wonder if you really have heard the last of Norm though if hes so emotional...

Full of cold feeling off but yes Feb 1st is going to be what Jan 1st should have been

Went to door when dc dropped off last night in order to "see" xh , only second time in months and months and yes he is physically attractive to me still but so sort of dour and I dont know really just vaguely unhappy seeming. Closed the door and felt ok which I am very pleased about.

Spoke to friends sister and feel so bad for her but also relieved that the worst is over (I hope)now and I am on the rebuild life phase now not grieving and heartbroken.

Also is going to be the first bright day in ages so my chin is up

Ok on my way home after school run and Pmsl at the hard on ha ha .
I think Tracy cox love bullet is my next purchase need my broadband on to order.think love honey as good a place as any check out the reviews .
Yep I think Feb will be buzzing x

Feb buzzing? Is that a tongue in cheek joke after all the talk of RR's? Patience I keep meaning to ask you what your new business is, you seem such an expert on RR's and Love bullet now, is it related? If it is maybe the order should go through you for the thread

Starting that is so crap. Patience comment about how you plead made me smile. You're such a great woman, shame you can't make the Glasgow meet up, would be just the ticket to cheer you up x

LOL Happy at the dream. I haven't had sex since Oct 2009 and haven't resorted to any other methods to satisfy myself either, as I've said before. Feel ok though at the moment, no dodgy dreams yet though or considering 70 year olds Clearly my ex H has screwed me up and I'm repressing it, what do you reckon ladies?

Getting, part of me wonders that too about Norm in that is he just having some sort of emotional crisis & that I'll hear from him again. He did say that he was fairly certain that he would deeply regret his decision. If it was anyone else I think I'd be slamming the door shut (figuratively speaking) but as I've always said there is something really nice & special in Norm so I would prob try to move on if he does come back out of the woodwork. I'm just going to be kind to myself for now, lots of pampering & keep my focus on myself

Happy, great idea about bulk buying the RR's . Will have to postpone looking for awhile though as I'm a tad fragile atm & the sight of an RR could have me wailing on the floor!

Getting, glad you were able to face xh again & that it didn't leave you too emotional. Also great that you are feeling more positive.

Patience, yes meant to post "Yep I think Feb will be buzzing x" gave me a laugh in the midst of it all.

Tea, I think your sexual desires will be re-awakened when the time is right . Did you make a decision about sending the card yet?

I think as I'd have to ask someone from the course for his address which I'm going to start helping on, it would be a bad idea. Thinking about it now. As the only people who would know his address are leaders that I'll co lead with in the next course. So I'm backing off the idea.

I just think if I guy was single he would have orgasms ,Im safer on my own ,lots of experimenting and having fun .not hurting anyone and enjoying my endorphins.I think its normal and healthy tbh just like having sex ,mentally and emotionally I'm better on my own just now .

I'm not even that horny tbh.,its just something to do innit ha ha ha .

Was never one for crosswords or sudoko

Patience is on a roll :)

Well today is a lovely day and my chin is up too Getting!

And this is for all us lovely ladies who are being upset and disturbed by men. will show us why we really shouldnt bother!

Starting.....really really sorry about Norm.

I feel like he is/was 'our Norm' and I was quite fond of him. I somehow don't think you've heard the last of him, he needs a bit of time for a think.

Having a shit couple of days as it's 3 years today that arse lump left and i've got a tense nervous headache........remember that advert girls ??

Oh no Pink. January has been a poor month for a number of dumplings. (())

Hoping for much better from February - have some good things to look forward to !

I can't do Sudoko and crosswords I cannot be bothered with

salvete omnes I am back from my weekend in London, could not believe the thread was full so v relieved to find you all here. H has been here with DDs all weekend. It is relatively tidy but as I feared they had scrambled eggs yesterday and a pizza on Sat night, ok I know it does not matter just for a weekend so am chilling out about it all. Had a good time and saw my sister, parents, couple of old friends, went to a great play, visited ill friend, read a great book, altogether a rest. Now waiting for DD2 to come home from school and DD1 will be home at 545. Have decided to have a serious talk with both about computer use at home, am sick of the two of them arguing so think I am going to take money out of kids savings accounts and buy a laptop. I know that sounds extravagant but the arguments about one broken lap top and this computer which I need, are really very dull. No use expecting H to sort it out, useless at mediating in kids arguments and just pretends he cannot hear them when he is in charge. have been thinking about a good word: diminished. H is totally diminished in my eyes by what he has done over the past ten months, and I think in the eyes of a lot of people too. There you are, my thought for the day. Probably true of a lot of our hopeless exes.

Waves to pink x

Getting lovely spa products in avon catalogue atm for dd.also bought myself lip conditioner for soft moisturised lips .might get a snog on Saturday night .

Lol at never one for crosswords or sudoko

Pink, your post about Norm brought a tear to my eye! When you said you thought of him as "our Norm" I though fuk he was in a way, a ray of hope in the midst of all the f*wits! Oh well, I can honestly say regardless of if I never hear from him again that he has gone a long way to restoring my faith that there are some good men out there! Sending you big hugs atm. You will bounce out of this again in no time ((Hugs))

Off, glad you had a lovely w'end. The laptop sounds like a sensible plan to me if it means the girls will be fighting less. Scrambled egg & pizza sound fine to me & better then I've served up to mine at times I must confess

Pink these days that are written on our minds indeliblely are awful but as you wisely said to me its just a day like any other and you are transformed from the Pink of last summer and wont be down for long.

Patience you are a real beauty devotee ! What are you wearing on Saturday night ?

Offschool just chipping in re laptop ... we got an extra laptop for MN homework and it hasnt eased any arguments but created new ones over limiting time spent on screen as its more available and nobody wants to use the desktop PC . Glad you had a nice weekend break
