6 weeks of C/mas adverts
6 weeks of C/mas tv trailers
6 weeks of C/mas songs
6 weeks of Buble asking, baby please come home for C/mas
6 weeks of moody people trudging round shops not caring if they're in your way
6 weeks of C/mas decorations everywhere

3 months of tears over my H and OW
3 months of anxiety
3 months of uncertainty
3 months of game-playing from H
3 months of utter sadness
3 months of mental abuse

2 months of discovering myself
2 months of organising my life
2 months of lots of hugs from those who do love me
2 months of amazing support from MNers - you know who you are
2 months of Pilates (it does work)

2 days until it's all over
2 days until 2014 plan can start
2 days until I spend time with my loving family

1 year since I spent the most amazing last C/mas with my H after a tragic year

9 days until Sherlock episode 3!

It would have been my 11 year anniversary today but instead my H is on a 2 week holiday with OW.

It's tough, it hurts, the pain is immeasurable but, I have survived this year. I appreciate the support of MN, don't know what I would have done at times without it. Those that know my story on here probably know where I would be.....

Join me if you would like to rant, cry or have a bottle glass of wine xx

Don't worry I'm joining you too! Two glasses so far and I've still to do the wrapping! Oh dear!!! Nearly there Whatnext. This time last year I was dreading the day but in reality it wasn't as bad as I thought and infact was quite enjoyable!

We are currently tracking Father Christmas and according to my child he is 3000 miles away so we all need to get to bed soon.

Hello thread.

Don't know if you've seen it Whatnext but Chump Lady has a very good posting about 'sorry' from the cake-eater. It's only a few days old. Do read it, it's so good and very timely.

I'm into a bottle of red. On my own this evening. House is silent. DD is out clubbing. The first Christmas eve in over 20 years i've spent alone. But, I'm kinda ok with it. Hope you are too.

Minime85 · 24/12/2013 20:30

great thread and so well expressed. you sound like me: it hurts, its not the reality I saw for my life but I'm a get up and get on with it kinda girl.

Brew mine's a tea Wink

Minime85 · 24/12/2013 20:37

or at least what I'm trying to be. theory and reality not always singing from same hymn sheet though

tough few days ahead.

redundantandbitter · 24/12/2013 21:16

minime mines a tea too. Cheers.

Oh what come here and have a big daft squeeze. What you need is some company perhaps? (Not your DM though! - can't believe she made the funeral comment).

So yadda on to us, or call a friend. We'll chat shite and take the piss out of our ex twats.

This should make you laugh... A lovely friend of mine bobbed round with a present earlier today. He said I looked better so he decided I seemed strong enough to hear this.., he saw my darling exp and yoga lady at a gig in November (while I was crying in the doctors surgery). He stood behind the couple all night. Exp was all over her and she kept pushing him away. So, now I'm all set back .

So, pass me the wine and budge up on the sofa - have a chocolate . Anyone else want to squeeze on? Bring some tissues

cjel · 24/12/2013 22:03
