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.

Morning all. Lnm. Just catching up. Omg. What a prick! Love your comeback.

I'm sorry your not well too. I'm on sudafed. No antibiotics but think I'm ok. Got sexy weird voice.

Lnm. We will get together next time. No worries. I will be back up.

LittleEsme · 29/05/2013 10:14

LNM, nothing clears my mind more than a walk along the beach, whatever the weather. Make it your aim.

Things will improve. They will.

Angry Unfortunately this seems to be part of the usual script they follow. I told my ex I was seeing someone else and he said 'I'm prepared to take you back as long as you haven't fucked him'. Hmm I pointed out that I'd left him because I didn't want to be with him any more and I didn't want him to take me back! Then the accusations and insults started to fly.

I'm glad about your comeback, absolutely perfect Smile I'm glad you didn't try to explain or justify yourself. Wasn't OW a mother? But it was ok to shag her of course...he has no one to blame but himself.

Just a thought...do you have a local football/rugby team? I seriously think you should invite them all round the next time he has contact, as well as a local reporter to do a lovely, salacious write up. That would give him something to think about Wink Grin

LoserNoMore · 29/05/2013 16:35

God Lazarus, your ex sounds as bad as mine! I'd love to do that with the local team, his face would be a picture Grin

Same here LittleEsme, I could live on an actual beach. I'd love a beach house, one of those ones on a quiet beach you see in the movies. Me and the girls sitting outside wrapped in a blanket watching the waves, maybe a wee dog running around...pure heaven.

Sorry I missed you this time Jax.

jax do you like garlic? or more to the point can you stand it? it's a great natural antibiotic. if you can bear it and can get ingredients you need to steep chopped/crushed raw garlic and raw ginger in water and add lemon juice and a spoonful of honey for taste and drink cups of the stuff. really does do the trick. you need to leave the crushed/chopped garlic out in the open air for ten minutes first though as the reaction with oxygen creates the antibiotic element (forgotten the name). appreciate with no car this may be a daydream.

i want to live by the sea too! i'm also toying with the idea of relocating to scotland at the end of primary school (if they're still doing free HE by that point).

yep lazarus - seems to be a common male theme - once another man has 'had' you there is no turning back. seems women are to men like this what lamposts are to male dogs Hmm

swallowedAfly · 29/05/2013 17:53

bit of overshare here but i talk to you guys everyday so it seems natural to tell you my news. i have a surgery date for breast reduction next friday and i am terrified. also panicking about child and animals and managing stuff.

LoserNoMore · 29/05/2013 18:34

Oh SAF, try not to worry, easier said than done I know. Do you have plenty of support you can rely on? It is kind of exciting too, have you been waiting long?

OP posts:
swallowedAfly · 29/05/2013 18:39

i've just had a voicemail from my mother saying, 'she is terribly busy that weekend' so am now in full panic mode.

no i've been thinking about it for years but once i decided it's all come about quite quickly. i've had to go private.

LoserNoMore · 29/05/2013 18:58

That's a bit crap. Don't panic, is there anyone else?

OP posts:
swallowedAfly · 29/05/2013 19:16

there is another mum at school who knows i'm waiting for a surgery date and is the sort who'd want to help i think but i hate the thought of asking - feel it's too much to ask of non family. i am really shit at asking for help

lazarusb · 29/05/2013 19:33

Ask! I have friends who have needed help in the past but haven't asked. It's made me feel terrible afterwards, most of the time it really wouldn't have put me out. I'm grateful to the friends that do ask, they make me feel valued Smile I'm glad you've had a date SAF, don't throw it away!

My ex is a whole new thread. Definitely saw me as a lamppost! It wouldn't have been half as funny if he hadn't asked 3 months previously if we could separate for 3 months that Summer so he & his friend could shag foreign students...I told if I went I wouldn't be back. Word is, he didn't shag anyone that Summer, even though he was single! Grin

LoserNoMore · 29/05/2013 20:30

Bite the bullet and ask, SAF. Bet she'll be happy to help out.

Oops posted too soon.

Lazarus, Summer of Love didn't quite go to plan eh Grin bummer!

imtheonlyone · 29/05/2013 21:55

Lazarus - just ask! Sounds like you have enough to stress about so get it sorted Wink that's an order! I hope it all goes well for you.

LNM are you feeling any better?
Jax - are you feeling any better?

I've had a totally crap day today. I'm a carer and one of my clients (husband and wife team) the husband died two weeks ago. Was the funeral today and the family paid for me to attend to care for their mum. Was awfully emotional and I was the one who was supposed to hold it all together!! Can't stand funerals. Wishing there was some of that cheesecake left - sure could do with a slice Wink!!

On a happier note, me, my mum and my two gorgeous boys are off to Disneyland Paris next tues Grin

imtheonlyone · 29/05/2013 21:56

Oooops, mean SAF not Lazarus!!! Such a pain when you respond on an iPhone you can read through the thread! Sorry! Thanks

LoserNoMore · 29/05/2013 22:20

Sounds like a sad day imtheonlyone :( You'll need to keep an emergency stash of cheesecake.

I still feel a bit sore and shivery (if that's how you spell it) been drinking lots of water today which I'm really bad for. Worrying about being off work again too. Driving me mad.

Also spent most of the day trying to call the tax office. I received a tax coding notice and they have put me on code D0 which means they take 40% tax! Been panicking all day but she said its obviously an error and that code is used for 2nd jobs usually, phew. My employer hasn't started using the tax code yet but I'm due to get paid tomorrow and she said they might take 40% until its sorted which is going to mess up all my bills.

Sorry went off on a tangent there.

Saf ask the other mum. I used to say to my friends, "I'm glad you've asked because I know that you will be happy for me to ask for help when I need it too". Everyone needs a bit of help with childcare now and again.

Maybe your mum could have him whilst you recover at home after the op?

Fairenuff · 29/05/2013 22:53

theonly sorry to hear you've had a sad day. Thank goodness for people like you, the carers of the world, where would we be without you. The work you do is priceless.

LNM if you are shivery you should probably get some antibiotics. That sounds like the infection is taking hold. Try not to worry about work (difficult I know), your health has to take priority.

thistlelicker · 30/05/2013 09:21

How are you feeling today?

lazarusb · 30/05/2013 11:19

Hi LMN. Try drinking some cranberry juice if you can, I've always found that useful for kidney/utis. Might be worth giving your GP a call and arranging a prescription though. Kidney infections are so horrible. Take it easy, if you need time off, you need time off...I know it's easier said than done but you need to put yourself above work, for the sake of your dds if no-one else.

lazarusb · 30/05/2013 11:21

Trust the tax man to screw up when you least need him to (obviously a man!).

Do you need a short term loan in the meantime or do you think you can manage?

LittleEsme · 30/05/2013 13:43

How are you feeling today, LNM?

LoserNoMore · 30/05/2013 14:11

I'm ok, been watching a few movies. Watching The Omen now, nice cheery film Grin

I got an application form through the post for a job so filled it in and posted it, fingers crossed. It involves weekend work but that gives me a couple of days off midweek which means I get to pick dd's up from school. Only thing is arranging with ex to maybe have girls the weekends I have to work. I'll figure something out if need be.

I'm on a course of anti b's Lazarus so should be feeling better soon.
