:) at sponge it's a lovely feeling, that flirty anticipation - I hope it works out beautifully! :)
watch, I feel really happy for you! I know it's really confusing and annoying and he's been a tosser a liar!less than truthful, but I think you're being really focused and strong and I am full of admiration for teh way you are handling the situation. My intuition is that he won't finish with the gf unless he is on a dead cert of another welcoming pair of arms. He seems, from the little i know, from what you have said, that he needs that ego stroke of having women fall over backwards for him. you're not doing that, which must be infuriating. :)
bit 'meh' here - disasterous morning of ripped bin-liner showering rotting food all over me as I tried to get the bugger in the bin outside this morning. Too dark to clean it all up, so neighbours will be ratty with me (will leave work early and do it properly tonight...) DS1 in tears as he has a 'stomach ache' 
and didn't want to go to school. his attendance is a bit rubbish and he has to go unless he has a leg hanging off. I felel like shit for yelling at him to get his school stuff sorted and get out of the house as I had to go to work and someone in this family has to bring some money in then i missed my bus, because I was cuddling and apologising (and chanting 'go to school! go to school!) so i missed my train and had to stand. am utterly devoid of xmas spirit, helped along by only sniff of a bloke on OKC some gimp who has clearly forgotten that he has already contacted me with the exact same opening line (don't these people have a spreadsheet?) and the feeling that life might be a tiny little bit better if I didn't always have to do everything alone and someone nice could grab my arse occasionally. 
going to go home early, get kids to help tidy pig-sty of a house and implement sweeping new wife-swap style rules that do not allow for empty cartons being replaced in the fridge. then sit on sofa, watch a musical & break open the xmas biscuits.
