Gone with the condiments

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

BTW I believe Lou. One of my exes, a right cracker got up to all sorts of double life activities I haven't got time or inclination to go into now, and when I would relate them to friends and family, despit being extremely upset at the time, I would actually start laughing as his behaviour sounded so ludicrous.

Oh rhino how Blush

Padstow is one of my very favourite places - or at least it was until Rick Stein bought it Sad
There are some beautiful Coastal walks there though.
Newquay isn't really my cup of tea, I prefer Penzance (the old bit by the swimming pool and the meadery shop)

I also love Mousehole and Mullion - there's a million and one places I could live in Cornwall. Smile

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 04/09/2012 23:25

Grin @ Rhino's autocorrect fail!

Bossy, wasabi is related to horseradish. But much, much hotter.

StuntGirl · 04/09/2012 23:27

@Babylon I think you're referring to chaos with the dodgy phone!

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 23:27

It was me eating it like guacamole that put me off Bossy Blush

I won't make that mistake again in a hurry!

I'm sure it's lovely in moderation Grin

Rhinosaurus · 04/09/2012 23:29

Yes I steer clear of Padstow, or Steinland as locals call it. I have lived all over Cornwall so know all those places. but wish I lived further away from Newquay with five teens in the house

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 23:29

StuntGirl that sounds familiar! I did read of some of her escapades with her dodgy phone!!

You'd think I'd have learned to read what I've typed before I hit the send button wouldn't you - but oh no not me, that would be the sensible thing to do Blush

Rhinosaurus · 04/09/2012 23:30

I think a previous poster may have fallen into bed semi comatose after her regular Tuesday night brush against the sherry bottle!

SweetBabyJebus · 04/09/2012 23:31

Delurking after reading this whole saga to lend my support Lou. Nothing to offer re advice or experience, just a friendly ear.

And may I suggest, to follow on from 'Gone with the condiments'...

'Tomorrow is a Chutney-free Day'!

Sleep well Lou.

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 23:33

5 teens living close to Newquay sounds like it could get messy without some strict boundaries and guidance Rhino Confused

Rather you than me Grin

I'm just one of the annoying ones that chugs slowly down the M5 in a VW camper for two weeks, causes slow moving traffic on the A39/A30 and chugs slowly home again having never taken the carefully packed surfboard off the roof of the van, let alone get it wet in the actual sea Blush Grin

skyebluesapphire · 04/09/2012 23:34

well Lou, you are going to need another new thread soon. Is this a record for threads? Im on my fourth I think Blush.

i will look out for the new thread tomorrow. I trust it will have a chutney themed title so that it is easy to find??!!

For those of you discussing Cornwall, did you see the thread in chat about the guy who went to Cornwall and hated it?! He got flamed big stylee. Grin

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 23:35

Sherry
right up there with martini Rosso and taboo Sad

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 04/09/2012 23:36

I had a lovely holiday in Bude when I was 15. Then Elvis died.

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 23:36

Ooh no skyeblue can you link??

How can you not like Cornwall? There's something for everyone there isn't there? Confused

Bossybritches22 · 04/09/2012 23:36

Thanks oldlady have bookmarked that site for later,always looking for inspiration!

I'm a Marmite-Lover I'm proud to say!! Grin

LurkingAndLearningLovesCats · 04/09/2012 23:37

Frankly my dear, I don't give a Chunt!

(As I stake my life by next thread the grovelling will have begun!!!!!)

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 23:38

Is your next birthday somewhat of a milestone OldLady ?

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 04/09/2012 23:38

The first time I got drunk, it was Martini Rosso and lemonade and I was 14

Haven't touched the stuff since, Joan Collins or no Joan Collins.

Rhinosaurus · 04/09/2012 23:38

The teens go to school in Newquay, they actually have a surf academy, my son goes surfing every Monday at school. In my day all we considered it a treat if the trampoline got bought out!!! Tch kids today, don't know they are born etc etc

Yes boundaries and guidance, do you ever get that feeling you are fighting a losing battle...........

skyebluesapphire · 04/09/2012 23:39

Lurking - I love that title - Lou you must use that one Grin

LulaTheOneAndOnlyMrsPistorius · 04/09/2012 23:39

My one and only contribution to this thread is...

Do not, on any account, decide to have "a bit of me time"* after chopping chillies.

Now THAT fucking smarts!

  • is it ok to mention wanking on MN?
OldLadyKnowsNothing · 04/09/2012 23:39

Already had it, Babylon, in May. So yes. Grin

skyebluesapphire · 04/09/2012 23:40
