Hi anorak. I'm back too! Hope you had a lovely holiday. I did in parts! Will e-mail you later if thats OK. Am trying to sort out this week. K taking boys away on Weds. Am trying to find somewhere for dog!! Divorce proceedings have begun. He was so bloody horrible when I was away. Did any of you see my charming husband on "Poor Little Rich Girl" He came across so badly apparently. he was the music manager of girl group (including his mistress) The Sirens. Anyway-think we are moving to London.Am starting a business with best friend. Am going to start a new thread for London advice. Lots of love XXXX

anorak · 15/08/2004 13:26

Hi, just logged on and read your messages, are you really coming to live in London! I'm so excited, I am a short train ride from West Hampstead, we will have to talk about it lots when you come to visit, I used to live in London.

Can't wait to hear about your business idea. Ooh, quick, email me, I'm all excited. Did you know there is a small posse of mumsnetters down here itching to meet you?

DelGirl · 15/08/2004 13:48

Spook, I saw a few minutes of the programme, can't remember what your DH said or how he came across tbh but I thought at the time that the girls in the group were F*ing awful and that is my honest opinion. Jumped up and spoilt and unpleasant to the poor girl. That's why I switched over. Hope you're ok xx

prufrock · 15/08/2004 14:26

Yep - I caught some of it. Barbie came across as a complete bitch (and I thought that even before I realised it was her) and your h wasn't much better -apparently told the rich girl to f off at the end - she'd outlived her usefullness as a promotional tool by that point. He is quite good looking though - can see why you loved him prior to his recent personality change.

joanneg · 15/08/2004 14:33

Sppok - what a great idea moving and starting a new business. It is just what you need, a fresh start. You are going to be a powerful, strong independant woman and judging from them on that programme so much better off x

spook · 15/08/2004 16:28

Thanks all of you. Come on you lot!Anyone else see this programme. I was away thank god but the text messages started flying in whilst it was on. He was making it as we were splitting up. Did he come across as much of a twat as everyone keeps telling me. And was she totally up her own arse or is that people just trying to be kind? I'm well aware the band are completely shit. But we all now know why he put so much time and money into them. Unfortunately that pile of shite could me my childrens financial future in the short term.

lolliepops · 15/08/2004 16:52

i saw the program and yes they all came accross badley. i also saw them the next morning on gmtv when the one that leanne one was begging to go sing on the show, it was quite cringworthy putting poor fiona on the spot asking if they could come back and sing for her!!!! I was txting beccarollover during the show slating evil barbie, what a horrible nose and scraggey hair not to mention the tacky clothes, and will somebody please throw the dog a bone she is anorexic!!

spook · 15/08/2004 17:19

Hi Lolliepops. I knew about the scraggy hair but the horrible nose is a new one to me!! Ooh I just LOVE IT!! Were they all on GMTV? Now I know why my knob of a husband was up so early the next day.

Beccarollover · 15/08/2004 19:19

Hi honey

Hows tricks?

Whats this about business idea? Email me now please!!! Or are you avoiding me encase I pounce on you for bodyshop date LOL

Yep, I second everything about dodgy nose, scraggy hair and general "empty" personality

Big love
Becca

lolliepops · 16/08/2004 09:18

no only leanne was on with the other girl that did the swop.but i am sick of there adverts no galaxy radio. A new start in london sounds exciting, probley just what you need.good luck keep us posted with your plans x

Blu · 16/08/2004 11:23

'Ey up Spook - welcome back - How could you not tell us? I caught the very last bit of that programme, but not enough to take in and add to well-deserved gloat-fest!

How exciting! Are you really moving to London? We'll watch this space!

spook · 17/08/2004 08:01

Hi Blu. Didn't know it was on. I was away! What's this about you not coming to anoraks on Thursday night??
Yep-I am moving to London. Much to the dismay of my husband. Think I have FINALLY got to him. I said to him yesterday as he was spewing his usual bile about how great my life is and how hard he's working and how selfish I am to uproot my children and take them to London....did it never occur to you at some point in the last year and a half that a divorce and selling your family home and your wife and children moving away "might" happen??? Apparently not! What a tosser. But he is so so adamant that I can't take the boys to London. He really has no say in this does he???
I got a text from him last night saying we need a coffee and a chat without yelling at each other. This is the FIRST approach e has made me in 7 months!!! I think he's worried girls. Hurray!
Blu-you MUST come on Thursday. And you Thomcat! I am so very excited about meeting anorak. My guardian angel in the flesh. Wow!!!

Thomcat · 17/08/2004 08:18

Hi Spook, well look at you! So proud of you, you're fantastic .
Are you meeting this Thursday? I have a screening in town, taking press to see a new film coming out so will be tied up for some of evening. What time are you meeting and where?

spook · 17/08/2004 08:25

Hi Thomcat. I'm very excited about my new life. Something had to give and it was Newcastle. I have got to get out of here!
I'm going to Anoraks tomorrow for a couple of nights and Thursday night is cocktail night at her brand new bar!! Have already buffed up my sparkly dress. Can't wait!!

Blu · 17/08/2004 12:57

Oh No! I can't bear it! I AM going to try and get myself freed up - it would be such fun and I want to meet you - and Anorak - and TC.

How are the boys, Spook? Are they coming down with you?
Did you text him back?
And what happened when the divorce papers were served at his office?

spook · 17/08/2004 13:37

Hi Blu. The boys are fine thanks. They were coming with me then they weren't then they were again and as from this morning they're not. This is how many times he has fucked me about re taking them on holiday. BUT-Sirens record has STIFFED!!!! So he can get away this week after all. What an ENORMOUS surprise/shock that news was. Hee hee hee
No I didn't text him back. I had a total rush of excitement but chose not to respond just to be crushingly disappointed again.

Kayleigh · 17/08/2004 19:11

spook, I'll be at anoraks on thursday night (if she ever gets round to emailing me directions ) and really looking forward to meeting you. X

spook · 18/08/2004 07:02

Me too Kayleigh! I have been told how lovely you are! Setting off this morning. Am so excited I could just dance (was going to say wee but thought anorak may suddenly cancel)

anorak · 18/08/2004 09:41

I think spook is on the road now!! I expect her this afternoon, oh, I'm so excited .

I'm off to Sainsbury's to buy olives and tequila for our cocktail party...don't worry Kayleigh, you won't miss out on the tapas, I'll email you the directions later today...maybe...if I think of it hehehe.

Blu · 18/08/2004 10:39

oooh, it's a Mumsnet Road Movie, Spook driving south, the wind in her hair.....

anorak · 18/08/2004 12:09

Probably driving through teeming rain actually...not so romantic is it? Just got back from Sainsbury's, bad news, they didn't have any little umbrellas for our cocktails, do you think they'll taste OK without them?

Kayleigh · 18/08/2004 12:22

NO UMBRELLAS !!! I cancel.

Actually I don't because I am really looking forward to it What can I bring apart from my lovely self ?

anorak · 18/08/2004 12:29

If you can find a pack of umbrellas, bring it!

JellyBabies · 18/08/2004 12:36

oooh bossy

what's the dress code ? Is spook really wearing evening dress ??? I don't think I will have time to fetch my tiara from the vault.

anorak · 18/08/2004 12:41

I am going to wear a cocktail dress. If spook doesn't bring one I will lend her a dress I can't fit into any longer.
