Just thought I'd start a new thread, general chit chat, moaning, skipping etc before I go to work and incase the other one fills up.

Thanks Cabbage. I really appreciate everyone's support and advice from the minute I posted my very first thread. I never in a million years thought I'd have felt such support from virtual strangers. It really means a lot.

You're a legend LNM I'm nearly 6 years older and with many more broken relationships behind me. I wish I'd had your self-respect 6 years ago.

I hate seeing the cycle repeated again and again on here with people taking back cheating partners, I've seen in so many times in RL and I've never seen it work out long term. You deserve to be number one and no man is a prize to be fought over, a real prize treats you with love and respect not as another facet of their own ego. You were the prize in your relationship and like all gamblers who got too cocky your ex has lost.

Now as your resident health advisor I feel its vital that you have a shag tomorrow and can we have pics of his 6 pack please? Just to perv check he's up to standard as a therapy provider?

LittleEsme · 17/06/2013 23:24

Feel the love people Smile

Seriously, I second all Cabbage says (am making a habit of this). It's good to 'see' you so happy.

Chips - how awesome do you (and FWIW, your ex) sound?

LittleEsme · 17/06/2013 23:26

Chips - stop pervving Grin

Cabbageleaves · 17/06/2013 23:31

Pervy lot!

I was drawn in because you were so resolute in not having him back because you have a clear boundary about what is acceptable. It is soooooo refreshing. He has lost such a lot.

ChipsNEggs · 18/06/2013 00:01

I'm clutching my pearls at the disgraceful assumptions being made on this thread. I assure you my perving interest is purely to ensure that certain therapeutic standards are maintained. We must have standards ladies!

swallowedAfly · 18/06/2013 06:29

just be glad you got us lot and not the - you should give him another chance/marriage is forever/men can't help it/it's all the OWs fault/you don't want to end up a single parent/have you been wearing nice knickers/maybe you should give more blowjobs brigade!

chips - so glad you've been able to support each other.

well this morning i have been awoken at 5am by one of my 'hens' crowing Shock Hmm have posted on chicken keepers for advice. i bought 2 hens and had no intention of having a cockerel or any clue i had one. bloody cocklodger!

Cabbageleaves · 18/06/2013 07:28

I was woken the other day at 5am by the same. She's the dominant hen, lively, barging here there and flying to sit on the hen coop and look me in the eye. She has attitude! She doesn't need a cockerel

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 18/06/2013 07:38

Loving the 'Hens With Attitude' Grin

LNM - no matter what, your online buddies will never leave you. We are here for perving life. Wink

Stay happy, stay strong, use this time to remember that you Are Worth IT. Flowers

swallowedAfly · 18/06/2013 07:47

i am really hoping she's just a quirky female and not a cockerel cabbage! glad to hear you have one who crows. just been out examining them and whilst she/he now has one tail feather that is starting to curl up and over a bit she/he still has exactly the same size comb as the other one and there's no real difference in size or anything else. she/he has suddenly gotten a lot more assertive and wriggly when handled though. i don't know what to think now. they're not laying yet so there is no absolutely certain way to know.

Cabbageleaves · 18/06/2013 08:16

My cockerel lays Wink

I feel a NC coming on

HenWithAttitude · 18/06/2013 08:18

Ta da!

LoserNoMore · 18/06/2013 08:26

Love it Cabbage!

Loitering for a picture! Shameless. I don't have one, yet.

I'm tired today but I'll power on through Grin

Dd's have been bickering since 7am this morning, I nearly dropped them at school at 7.30. Dd2 can't find any of her socks and dd1 refuses point blank to let her borrow a pair. Socks, SOCKS.

Hens with attitude - sounds like a thread title if ever I heard one!

Don't be so sure we'll abandon you LNM, I've been on a series thread for 10 months now - another very strong lady who was being treated badly. She has kept her dignity & self-respect too. I talk to dd about you both (and others on this thread). I think good, sensible females are an excellent example that we can stand on our own two feet and be happy.

I haven't discussed your shagfest though, she would be disgusted! I hope one day you do tell him that you posted about him on an internet forum. I'm glad he was embarrassed about that message, it was crap Grin He is going up in my estimation all the time!

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 18/06/2013 17:28

so, how was todays shagathon lunch date?

lazarus I think it is important for girls to know about good, strong, women, women who take no shit. Hens With Attitude! Grin

HWA could be a Scottish Rockchick band name.

lazarusb · 18/06/2013 18:42

Perhaps she's still busy Jax...was going to say something much cruder Grin

This thread is full of amazing women. I'm in awe of the people on here Smile

LoserNoMore · 18/06/2013 19:00

Ha I'm here. Another fun filled day. Tomorrow is going to be so boring. We went out for lunch, don't know why, you could tell we were both thinking the same and dying to get back to his.

Ex drove past the restaurant when we were sitting outside. Don't think he seen me though, I'm sure he would have text me abuse about my 'sluttish ways' by now.

OP posts:
ChipsNEggs · 18/06/2013 19:35

Surely that tension whilst you bolt down your food desperate to leave is part of the fun! Adds to the anticipation and all that Wink.

The wanker would definitely have been in touch all indignant about your behaviour. All he did was cheat behind your back, do you not realise how seeing someone else now you're single is far far worse? The ridiculous thing is I think he genuinely will feel hard done by Hmm.

I went to the beach today, it was cold and blowy but lovely and I found loads of sea glass. Too tired tonight but I'm digging my drill out tomorrow and am going to make some jewellery. Not been crafty enough recently and I'm looking forward to getting back into it.

LoserNoMore · 18/06/2013 20:18

Tha anticipation is almost torturous, Chips!

Yeah how dare I spend time with a man now that I'm single. I'll suffer for that eventually.

OP posts:
ChipsNEggs · 18/06/2013 20:47

But oh so worth it in the end!

You will not suffer for it. Don't give him headspace, anything he says is designed to try and hurt you, not because you deserve it but because he's a self-centered git. Treat him with the disdain that he deserves and you'll soon start feeling it.

HenWithAttitude · 18/06/2013 20:51

Ex doesn't even merit comment from me. He's insignificant. Lunch date sounds lovely.

I'm tired and feeling fat. Not the best feeling

LoserNoMore · 18/06/2013 20:59

I'm feeling the same HWA, carb overload the past few days. Going for a run and swim tomorrow and cutting out the carbs. I'm scared to step on the scales, since I stopped smoking again I'm constantly picking at food. I spend a good bit of time with my head in the fridge scanning for food. Probably healthier smoking again.

OP posts:
LoserNoMore · 18/06/2013 21:01

Infact there is a packet of tattie scones in the kitchen I can't stop thinking about...

OP posts:
HenWithAttitude · 18/06/2013 21:49

I wonder if I have a worm because I'm constantly famished. Just weighed myself which I've been terrified to do expecting to have put on nearly 1/2 to 3/4 stone. Nowt. I am the same! That is a lovely surprise. Shape has changed however. I'm losing my waist gradually. Lot older than you lot and I've always had a really hourglass figure so a thickening waist is not welcome.

I struggle to exercise, due to no me time. I do walk the dog a lot (hour tonight). Anyway in reward for no weight gain I'm munching a ryvita, strawberries and a glass of wine Grin

ChipsNEggs · 18/06/2013 21:58

Bloating is the worst as it makes you feel so thick and fat even though the scales only add an extra pound. I've quit the alcohol and restricted carbs for a few days and it makes you feel so much slimmer. I also think chewing my food as opposed to inhaling it is helping.

I've been on my weighted hula hoop and it is great fun, you've got to build up though or your can get bruises. I feel like my waist is getting thinner every time I use it.
