Just went to post on my other thread but it's full already!

I'll attempt to link it but I'm on my phone so probably won't work.

Excuse the cheesy title, my brain won't work. Just going to read last few replies on old thread.

I have all the right tools, just don't know wtf I'm doing with them. I check out the link tomorrow, thanks. I've watched ex wallpaper, I have an idea.

It'll get easier as you go along. Have you got a spirit level or plumb line to start you off on a true vertical. Measure the width if the wallpaper and plan your edge to end in sensible places. Don't end in a corner. They are never 'true'. Make it wrap just a little and then trim to fit where you want it to.

Gosh LNM he really is a complete arsehole! I can't believe her said you haven't given him a choice but to move in with OW. If he really wanted you back he would be bending over backwards. I know this has to be so mentally draining but you are doing so so well. You deserve a medal

Stay strong

Ive managed to get a tad red from the couple of days sun we had - I am so Scottish. Wink

Loulybelle · 07/05/2013 17:39

Hey LNM,

Hope the weekend has been nice for you and you arent covered in paste and in a huff with the wallpaper.

I met a guy online and within 6 days, he started blanking me, so i hate men right now Grin

lazarusb · 07/05/2013 19:35

Loulybelle - he clearly has no taste. Unfortunately arseholes are many! You'll get a nice one soon Smile

Loulybelle · 07/05/2013 19:41

Lazarus, my friend says all men are arsholes, just some men less than others and shes been with her fella for 8 years. He seemed so keen on me, texting me at half 7 to say good morning now to nothing.

I'm extremely happy today, it was so hot and sunny, it's so much easier getting out of bed when the sun is shining. Got up at the crack of dawn, done a washing, hung it all out, kids up and ready and we all sat in the garden before work/school, picked kids up after work, had a lovely dinner outside. Didn't even think about ex at all which is the first since he left. Then I called clinic for results and got the call about the interview . Ahhh I love good days!

Sorry that guy was an arse loulybelle :(

Loulybelle · 07/05/2013 21:14

PyroclasticFlo · 07/05/2013 21:18

Yay Grin great news LNM! Will be praying to all manner of gods and goddesses and crossing fingers and toes on your behalf for the job interview. Well done you! Really, really wonderful news on all counts (especially not thinking about ex), have some Flowers and a large glass of Wine from me!

Crossing toes, fingers and my eyes for you LNM.

Lovely sunny weekend-red nose (giving Rudolf a challenge) to remind me that its sun cream season

Great great news LNM. Very best of luck with the interview Smile

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 07/05/2013 23:21

I will be keeping everything crossed for you on Friday LNM. Glad you have decided to GSI - Get Someone In. That is what I do - no DIY, causes far too much friction. Grin

cabbage you are having a right old time at the moment!

off to bed now, been a busy bee today and sure I will pay with back problems tomorrow.

CabbageLeaves · 08/05/2013 07:26

Dog stopped vomming. Hen alive. All a false alarm. I think

swallowedAfly · 08/05/2013 07:39

see! universe is on your side and bringing things in Grin

i'm not a god person really but like the adage about how your hands need to be empty for god to give you what you're meant to have (i replace god with the universe). if you're clutching onto things not meant for you or that you've outgrown and should let go of you can't be given the new that's right for you. because you've let go when it was right to more can come in in my humble and slightly woo-ish opinion.

CabbageLeaves · 08/05/2013 08:12

I like that analogy SAF It is scary letting go of anything. I had a good job, one that I'd spent years nurturing career wise and it was niche. I needed to move on for a number of reasons but couldn't see how because it was a job goal I'd pursued for so long and thought I'd specialised so much I'd blocked off any chance of a different career. Got over my emotional attachment and my lack of confidence, fear and negative view ...left it and never looked back.

Husband leaving was the same Grin

There was a thread on here titled something like ' nothing can drag you down when you are not holding on'
Love that title!

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 08/05/2013 15:36
