Onwards and Upwards!

[Hushabyemountain98]

Good morning. Welcome to my new thread. I hope that all my MN friends will join me and maybe a few new ones!xx

Hi pickmeup.Glad you are chilling today with a cup of tea and Mumsnet.

Good that you put your thoughts down about your ex and that it made you feel better. Good idea to delete it! I have done that before.

Enjoy the rest of your Easter break xx

Glad you had a nice day pizza.
Good for you, treating yourself to some new makeup.
Making you feel a little better.

Nice that you got the cards with words of support.

I've finished the washing. Just more ironing now.

Enjoy the rest of your Easter with your new look!xx

Hi all , hope you all had a nice Easter Saturday , no hill climbing today it's rained all day , pizza good idea a new lipstick or even a full make up lesson I am still wearing arabian glow for 1986🙈
Pick me up so proud of you not sending the letter.
Notonyour what a brilliant family day for you , your family must be so proud of their mum. My son has been with me ex today watching cricket home now so a quiet evening watching tv. Hush we have our boys , We are definitely onwards and upwards today ladies.

Hi Kirk,
I am glad there was no hill climbing today.
Rotten weather here too.
Enjoy your evening with your son. Both mine are at home tonight.

Thank you Kirk and Hush - just writing the letter was therapeutic - probably couldn't have mailed it anyway as it was so full of swear words I would have been done for obscene mail :) I don't normally swear but for some reason the swear words just came pouring out. Made me feel a whole lot better.

Eventful day here, my cat went out Midnight last night and is normally waiting at the door when I get up. Nowhere to be seen all day so started to panic about teatime. Got DD to put up fb post with pics for all her friends to share at 9 o'clock as we were more and more concerned. Sods law, at ten past 9 he strolls up to the back door without a care in the world. He's now grounded for life!!

Ahh good old Tom cat , glad he is back though !

Good morning all and Happy Easter.
I hope you've come to the end of the laundry mountain Hush and are able to put your feet up today. Maybe the boys might cook your lunch for you!
Your family day sounds brilliant notonyour. Pizza and gateaux, what's not to like? I do hope that you are very proud of the strong family bonds you have created by yourself. You've done a marvellous job.
I used to write to my H in a notebook pickmeup, I can't read most of it because the writing is so illegible, there's some interesting swearing in that too! Keep going with the smiley faces
You'll need to have an evening out pizza so you can wear your new make up somewhere nice.
Hello kirk how are you doing?
I think madame that my H sees me as accepting our situation as the new normal. Maybe normal to him in his skewed view!
Hello WTAFF hope you have a good weekend away from work.
I hope your dog is recovering well Louisa.
Best wishes to you Chicon, it must all feel very strange.
I think that's everyone!
Have a lovely day all.
I'm off to boil some eggs. I can always imagine it's someone's head

Hi Hush - happy Easter day to you. I hope today is positive. I'm really quite annoyed. I live opposite a dental practice and their alarm has been going off since Good Friday. I Have no one to contact and the police aren't interested as there is no sign of forced entry. I will be going in on Tuesday to give them a piece of my mind!

Hi Pisco - hope you're having a nice weekend.

I have been for a walk with my daughter and her dog and the one I have , and I can't stop bloody crying , I used to love EAster and I feel so sad , I have come back at home and put my pjs on and I am going to have a glass of wine to try and chill , hope you are all having a better day than me xx

Hi kirk, that's no good. I used to love Easter too, I used to feel the same about it as Christmas. It's hard, isn't it. Look after yourself. Have you got any films you can watch? X

No Pisco but thanks for caring and replying , I have just made a chicken roast chicken for daughter and boyfriend and then I am off to bed to watch some catch up tv from this week , I couldn't even face seeing after one at church so I will pray at home xxxx

kirk - I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough day. I know exactly what you mean about things such as holidays changing.

Only one more full day until we are back to normal service. I'm looking forward to work on Tuesday!

How are you this evening?

Hi all. Well Easter Sunday wasn't going too badly until a major row with DD who stormed out as far as her grandparents (so she could charge her phone (!)) and is currently at her friend's house probably plotting my death. I'm glossing over it now but I have been really upset. I thought at 16 she might have had a bit more empathy but she seems to be taking everything out on me. DH is very good at backing me up but we both know that this wouldn't be happening if he hadn't left.

Currently waiting for him to bring her home when I imagine that she'll retire to her room in high dudgeon leaving me and the dog to make small talk for the evening :)

Still, we've now survived Valentine's Day and Easter ladies - two major firsts out of the way xx

WTAFF yes just tomorrow to survive , I must gain strength to go no contact 100% . Oh Madame girls are all about drama , mine is 24 and it's still hard , it's all about them , she will be back and you will hug her ❤️

Hi all, sorry to hear some of you are having a rough time today.

Madame, its easy to say, I know, but it will get better with DD. Mine was a nightmare between 15-17 and as Kirk says, its all about the drama. My DD now 19 and has calmed down considerably but I still remember the sleepless nights she caused.

I was having a good day, went to a lovely service at my church, then for lovely meal and after visited XMIL (first XH DM who I still get on with as I do XH).

Came home to find XP had text Happy Easter to my work phone (have blocked my mobile and fb etc but work phone is old Nokia which you can't block on). XP does not want me back but wants us to continue being 'friends' (or as I see it, as back up plan in case it doesn't work out with new partner). So tempted to message him back but that would mess up my smiley faces so I've decided against it :) ) How is it that they seem to know you are having a better day and then mess it up for you?

Nearly another day over, so tomorrow will be better and back to work Tuesday will hopefully take our minds of it. Onwards and upwards xx

Good Evening Kirk, Pisco, WTAFF, pickmeup and Madame.
I am really sorry that I have not been on here today.
I feel very tired tonight and cannot keep my eyes open.
I am thinking of you all.
Goodnight xxx

Hello Hush sweet dreams and to all of you ... the rain is lashing down here so here's hoping you are all snug and warm ... How lovely that it was light until after six!

Morning ladies , the dog goes back today 😢 One more day of a bank holiday to survive for me , pouring down here and my friend who's husband left her is coming today for a coffee . Today he rose again from the dead , I need to rise again from the life I formally thought was my good marriage , what a fool I was well never again will I be used by anyone xxx

Thank you Chicon.
It is awful here again this morning. Very windy and heavy rain.
It is nice that it is still light after 6pm. Just need some sun!
I hope you have had a good Easter weekend.
Brussels was on the TV yesterday for all the wrong reasons!

Still have one son at home. I was really busy yesterday which kept my mind off other things.
Thinking of you xx

Morning Kirk. Sorry I was not on here yesterday but I was thinking about you.
I hope you enjoy having coffee and a chat with your friend.
Hoping today will be better for you.
I was really busy yesterday and last night I felt exhausted.
I took my eldest back yesterday. Only a short stay.
Still have my youngest here. Not sure how long for?
I feel that I want to contact my dh but I have not.
Take care xx

Good morning pickmeup.
I am glad that your cat came home safe.
Glad you had a decent Easter Day apart from the text from your XP.
Well done for not texting him back. Yet another smiley face!
I know what you mean about them seeming to know that you are having a better day and doing something to mess it up!
I better close as I have a couple more messages to answer and then have to walk the dogs.
Have a good day xx

Good morning WTAFF.
Sorry to hear about the alarm going off all weekend. Has it stopped yet?
I hope you have a good day today.
The weather is rotten here but I think it may be getting a little easier.
I need to walk the dogs. They are going to get messy again!
Have a good day xx

Good morning madame.
Sorry to hear that you had a row with your DD.
I hope that she has calmed down today.
Hoping you have a good Easter Monday.
Take care xx

Hello Pisco.
I hope you are having a decent Easter Monday.
What are you doing today?
I am going to have an easier day today, hopefully!
Trying to muster up the enthusiasm to get in the shower and then walk the dogs.
I hope you enjoyed the boiled eggs. Especially the bashing bit or cutting its head off!
Have a good day xx

Hush you sound brilliant and you are doing so well it seems , you are our head supporter ❤️
