OK, new beginnings, new thread, it WAS right to serve divorce papers!

[Wisedupwoman]

I asked the question - Am I right to serve the divorce papers on my chameleon-like but definitely cheating, lying, cruel and manipulative STBXH. You all said "YES". So I have. The story continues.........

you too, WUW

at the image of someone weasling. Its such an apt description of a sleekit creature burrowing their way into the family. (Sleekit is a scottish word meaning slick, cunning and sly)

Shame about the damage to his shirt... just before you gave up smoking. What unfortunate timing (doh!) but then again, it might not be best suited to his new capsule wardrobe now he's working the purple trousers look. Maybe the delicate shade of mould will make it a 'must wear' again.

Good on you with the ciggies, thats quite a challenge you have given yourself but you seem to be well on the way to beating it.

I loved to hear about all the plans for you new job, even although some of it is still up in the air. That will all come together over time. They obviously very much want you and you are in such a stronger position personally now that you will have gained shedloads of confidence for any meetings with PTM.

the delicate shade of mould isn't that the verdi gris look?

TK Maxx tomorrow for handbag.

Cheers AF.

awww I love you even though I only just met you all. have a lovely evening everyone and raise your glasses to yourselves! I know I do take the p out of my STBXH but in the comfort of cyberspace only (and with my real life friends on a friday night occasionally) but for the kids we are all civil and kinda friendly x

fair play to you x

Hi everyone!

Wisey: How do I cope with STBXH visiting here to see the kids? Well, I rise above it. I just zone him out, if I'm honest. I ignore him completely, but if we have to talk - say about when I want him to return YS, then I'm cool, civil and business like. I look him straight in the eye, and tell him calmly when to return YS. He looks shifty, and stares at his shoes. Other than that, I treat him like I would a cold caller knocking at the door when I'm in the middle of Eastenders - i.e. ignore.

My daughters have also perfected this - but they do a wonderful "smell under my nose" look, which my grandmother was fantastic at, but I have yet to master - I look like a meerkat!

Eldest daughter told me something funny earlier, she said that dad had a L'Oreal for Men (he sooooo ain't worth it) anti-wrinkle eye pen! She saw it before he left, in the bathroom. This has completely cracked me up - what a joke.

Laters (off to open the wine) X

You make me feel guilty now, giving up the ciggies....(goes behind the sofa for a guilty puff on her Marlboro Light, then sprays Oust around the lappy).

Does it do your head in? or am i thinking it's worse than it actually need be?

wrinkle pen ?

on another thread (or was it this one) the dickhead used spray-on hair to cover his bald patch

fucking idiots, these men, aren't they ?

Oh yes AF - they certainly are! It's Father's Day in a few weeks - and daughters are already giggling about getting him anti-age creams and stuff - thing is, he'd probably love them! I just can't believe that my STBXH has done such a complete U turn - he was the rugby loving guy who thought that any sort of smelly stuff was for girls! I'm sure there's another woman, but if so, bet she's a lot younger!

(Takes a deep blow on cig and exhales in Wisey's direction!)

I love your sense of humour, saffo x

If I didn't laugh I'd cry AF! Thanks hon - love your posts and your straight to the point advice, you rock! (As YS would say)

My STBXH bought one of those slendertone thingy's. Sat for weeks groaning as it squeezed his beer gut to bits.

End result? exzema where the patches rubbed him.

< pisses self laughing >

Does anyone know why Barcelona are cutting the net out of the goal post?

I mean, they get medals, photos & shit loads of money - why do they need the net as well?? [weirdos]

My STBXH had one of those slendertone thingys! OMG Wisey - we were married to twins separated at birth...am convinced of it! AF - hope you stocked up on tenna lady thingys love!

Chipping: No idea - perhaps they are making a net to keep mine and Wisey's STBXH's dwindling tackle in place!

chips, I wondered that too

a souvenir ???

stupid innit....I hope they are paying for it !

They don't need a goal net for mine - just an empty tea bag will suffice.

Was gonna say that Wisey! Yep, deffo married to twins....

Who have all their own organs except for one thing - they share one tiny knob between them.

MMT: Hope you have a lovely evening out! Next time I'm in St Stephen's Street (probably Tuesday!) I shall be on the look out for your ex - what will he be wearing? Mine wears lycra shorts, with a slendertone thingy round his bulging tummy, and squints through a load of L'Oreal for men eye stuff; Wisey's also has a slendertone thingy strapped round his tum - but it protrudes from the top of his Austen Powers' purple flares...so I need the lowdown so I make sure I trip the right "man" over!

I think mine has taken to wearing those army boots because they make him appear taller too.
I think this is the 'street' alternative to buying heel lifts from the daily mail sunday supplement.
