Evening all,... Thank you to whoever came up with this lovely shiney new thread title!! Grin

As for Fedora, well I looked and it certainly wasn't her I saw in the picture!! He did go to Italy though, I saw pictures on his camera of the Bay of Naples, and also a few video clips of boat trips. And that's when I saw one single picture of a young blonde who he called 'Fedora'. 'I took a picture of her as she's very attractive and I wanted to remember what she looked like'. Jeez, I had a bit of a go, but I left that one because I couldn't be arsed to have an argument. This was about 4 days before he left.

Anyway, onto other things. Had one of these evenings where I can't stop my brain from whirling over details from the last few months. Times when I believed him because it meant an easier life. Believing him meant not being called 'paranoid' or insecure' or told to 'grow up'. Believing him meant some peaceful times on my own, not having to put up with him stomping about, resenting the fact that he was here. Believing him the time he claimed he got a 4 1/2 hour train back from London one evening in November when he smelt of aftershave.

Arrrggghhh! I know there's nothing I can do to stop this churning, but I am SO annoyed at myself. There were signs, but I just hoped things would get better. He always complained of being under pressure at work, so I had faith that he was trying his best.

Am so tempted to contact his boss and let him know what he's being doing under the 'guise' of work. Obviously, I wouldn't do it, but it is so tempting,......

Need to remember revenge is a life well lived blah blah!! Confused

Hello there, delurking again, not a huge lot to add that hasn't been said before, and far more eloquently than I could. But LouP your sounding better by the day and I'm another who's been out and bought some trumpets today (DH felt they weren't a suitable dinner, but what does he know!).
Onward and upward m'dear.

GirlsonFilm · 31/08/2012 18:39

Crumpets of course, that'll teach me to not try to type and eat

grumpykat · 31/08/2012 18:40

Jacket potatoes
With cheese! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Hope you're doing ok Lou, great new title, I knew it was you!

Kaloobear · 31/08/2012 19:25

Marking spot on the new thread :) Don't beat yourself up for missing/ignoring lies Lou. It says good things about you that you wanted to be positive. X

CockyPants · 31/08/2012 19:30

Hello Lou.
Is he a cunning linguist?
Arf Arf...
I like a cheesy JP myself! Coleslaw on it too?

NotGeoffVader · 31/08/2012 19:53

I've just eaten a big pile of mashed potato. With butter, milk and olive oil. DD liked it too!
I do jackets with peanut butter too (am a bit of a peanut butter addict, I think), first butter them, then add PB, then ratatoille, then sour cream or houmous, then grated cheese. Eat. Feel fat and fantastic! :)

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 31/08/2012 20:08

Yay, have found you!

Love a baked potato with cheese, no coleslaw, just salt and pepper, yum. :)

BabylonPI · 31/08/2012 21:37

BaronessBomburst what is your country of residence m'dear?? I'll post you some veggie ravioli if you like? Grin

LouP19 · 31/08/2012 21:41

Hello all, loving the food chat! Smile Hope you're having a good Friday evening.

Well a colleague offered to tailgate him today. I hid in the back of her car. Waited and waited, no sign of him. Then he appeared, and sped out of the car park like you've never seen. By the time we'd got out of the car park he was at the end of the road (must have travelled at 60mph) and was gone. So he would have seen us - or at least have recognised my colleague. So we went and got pizza instead. But at least we tried,......

This 'hiding' has got to be very significant. I strongly suspect that OW has been fed an utter pile of bullcrap about his situation, and he's bricking himself about her finding out the truth. Because of she does as well then he really is up shit creek. He's living his life like a rabbit in headlights at the moment, and the desire to expose him is all consuming.

Again, I know none of this is particularly productive, but how dare he destroy my life and move swiftly into another completely fabricated one? It's like I don't exist,..... like he wants to erase me because I'm not convenient for his new story. It is appalling.

I know you know all this, but still can't stop my brain churning. On another note, I'm picking up next door's dog at 10am tomorrow morning for a date. Grin

And to really make my day I've been bitten on my forehead (yes my forehead) and several people have asked me today if I've bumped my head,......! Confused I have a lump the size of of a ping pong ball. All I need!!

Ooh, a doggy-date! Have fun Smile (non passive-aggressive, of course).

Food note, as I'm bursting to tell someone: yesterday I made a tarte tatin, made the puff pastry'n all! Bloody lovely with creme fraiche it was.

I saw an interesting post on another thread just now, about a woman whose dh has just walked out on her with no explanation. It's by Viking1, who says that her right to privacy trumps her partner's right of entry: here. worth asking about?

Sleep well. Enjoy your doggy fantasies!

springydaffs · 31/08/2012 22:13

bitten? bitten?? on your forehead?? by WHAT?!? (you didn't say...)

that speeding out of the carpark - I doubt he saw you or colleague, he has probably been doing that since day 1

because he thinks everybody is a shit like him and would tail him

ah see, there's none so paranoid as the erm... paranoid

springydaffs · 31/08/2012 22:15

do you fancy the lenny henry tank top linguist btw?

yes, chunt is appalling btw

(any more btw's btw before I sign off?)

springydaffs · 31/08/2012 22:19

you could scramble a helicopter to trail his car out of the carpark

Oh, Lou, how exciting! The car chase that turned into a pizza, not the bite or the dogging. Umm, I mean dog dating. No, the dog walk! Oh, you know ... Grin

I agree, Springy, he probably thinks he's a key agent of the secret international organisation, C.H.U.N.T. Obviously this would explain his unexpected lock-picking skills (I'm not letting him off that unless he used to be a locksmith). When he chucked you out in the car park, Lou, did he sort of look around furtively then drive off at speed? I reckon you and your friend could wait tomorrow around the corner he turned ... unless he's taking a different route each night, what with being an internationally wanted mastermind and all.

Sorry to hear about the bite. I bet it looks gorgeous. Does it hurt yet?

And finally ... Dear munchie pals, I have cake frenzy. I was going to make muffins, but didn't. So my question is - Can I make one big muffin in a cake tin? Will it work or go soggy in the middle? I realise filling muffin cases isn't a big deal, it just feels like too much effort.

springydaffs · 31/08/2012 22:51

go with the tin, I should. It all tastes the same (and that's the point, really)

If it's a mosquito bite (not a dog...) get some After Bite. Brilliant. I was an antibiotic candidate once this summer, nearly twice, and it saved my foot from falling off me from another course of antibiotics second time around.

cover me, I'm going in - the name's springy, daff springy. 004

FrankWippery · 31/08/2012 23:03

I wouldn't go with the one tin - it will crust and burn way before the centre is cooked... Doesn't work like a cake at all. You could use two 1lb loaf tins, but lower the temp and cook for longer.

SweetFannyCraddock · 31/08/2012 23:04

Ive made a muffin loaf before, you have to cover it once the top is brown though, to stop burning. I can get the recipe for you if you want?

FrankWippery · 31/08/2012 23:05

Marvellous xpost there Fanny!

garlicnuts · 31/08/2012 23:25

I made cookies, with oaty crunch cereal instead of chocolate chips. Luffly :)

Only got six out of a recipe for 12, as I ate half the batter I like them big. Being an extremely lazy cook, I shall bake an experimental huge muffin this weekend. Not the increasingly large one on my waist.

garlicnuts · 31/08/2012 23:29

Grin Springy. 004, licensed to bake.

LurkingAndLearningLovesCats · 01/09/2012 01:04

Okay, the next thread needs to be something with C.H.U.N.T in it! Grin

HermioneHatesHoovering · 01/09/2012 04:02

Found you by the great title!

"how dare he destroy my life and move swiftly into another completely fabricated one? It's like I don't exist,..... like he wants to erase me because I'm not convenient for his new story. It is appalling."

Sadly Lou you are not the only one to feel this way, except mine tried to erase the 3 kids too Angry Sad

BabylonPI · 01/09/2012 08:00

Hey Springy, I'm going to attempt to find the chunt again next week Wink

Don't think we'll be on the bike this time though Wink
