Haha hanging up after a great one liner is so satisfying! I miss the old school landline phones, it was really satisfying to slam them down Grin

NoCapes · 18/10/2016 10:26

Yep I took your suggestion aye and we're now at Mama Capes, they had the front and the back doors open and between the baby and the dog someone just kept escaping, was a nightmare!
But now I've got tea and egg on toast and the dogs got a sausage 🙄 So we're all happy!

Oh I've never had the 'you'll never find someone like me' line - I may have said it to him though BlushGrin

Glad you're having a nice day Smile

And you are quite within your rights to say it to him! Its true!

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 11:39

Mamacapes to the rescue! Your mum sounds awesome Capes Grin

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 11:40

And hell no he'll never find someone like you again, and it's all his own bloody fault!

skyyequake · 18/10/2016 11:49

Lol aye you've just reminded me that on the day I broke up with XP I told him that if he wanted a 50s housewife who was happy to do everything and say "yes sir no sir here's your dinner sir" then he should go out and bloody well find one because that ain't me Grin

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 12:04

Quite right too Skyye! Stepford wives freak me out Confused don't get me wrong, I make DP his dinner for when he comes home (I eat then too) but if I've had a cunt of a day or the kids are poorly, he'll come in and get stuck in to making dinner, he doesn't see it as "my job" it's just that I usually do it because I choose to. As for "sir" aw hell no! Grin

De-lurking old gimmer. Got free 4 years ago aged 59, so am always heartened to see you young 'uns doing what I took so long to do - waking up to what's going wrong, getting free, and reclaiming your lives.

I thought this was telling from your twat of an Ex: "can't bear you not being mine anymore.

skyyequake · 18/10/2016 12:25

Hadn't noticed that Pussycat its a very possessive phrase isn't it?

Glad you got free Flowers

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 12:27

I hadn't noticed it either, horrible phrase, very possessive. Glad you got free too Pussycat I'm 8 years free and now his life is falling apart I can't help but feel that karma is an absolute bitch! Grin

TheSilveryPussycat · 18/10/2016 12:39

Now I'm not saying it's wrong to say eg "I'm so glad you're mine" in a loving relationship. But he's supposed to be trying to win you back, not only is it possessive, but it's also about how his feelings, and how he can't bear that you're not his! Oh yeah, his feelings - that'll make you rush right back.

Twat.

NoCapes · 18/10/2016 16:30

Thanks Pussycat Smile

sky & aye you two are slacking, even I picked up on the 'not mine anymore' comment, just shows that it's nothing to do with me being happy at all is it, he just liked saying he had a girlfriend really didn't he - even if he didn't like actually having one 🙄

Lol I think I was distracted trying to explain how Skype works 😂

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 16:51

I'm just shit Grin I reckon I'm so used to the script it goes over my head now. The saddest thing of all is he could have had it all, if he'd just been a decent human being and valued you and your kids and treated you all properly. That's what he needs to understand, it's all gone now and there's nobody to blame but him.

myfriendnigel · 18/10/2016 18:04

A young hot trades is even better! I like it when they wear those trousers with the loop for the hammer on.Grin
Mine said 'I don't think you'll ever be happy' (without him). If you say so love...Hmm

ponygirlcurtis · 18/10/2016 23:19

Haven't posted in ages but just wanted to point out - when you look at his text from yesterday, how many 'I's are there? It's all about him. Nothing bout you. It's about him and how he's feeling, you don't even feature.

You are doing great NoCapes.

Wondered if you seen this? I saw it a couple of years ago, loved it. Smile

morning all

id just say capes i was never yours to start with

ayeokthen · 19/10/2016 23:21

Hey Capes just checking in to see how you're doing Grin is the boiler done yet?

NoCapes · 20/10/2016 11:17

Hi all, I'm here, I've made my way out of the avalanche of dust that was once my kitchen!
But we're mostly done now, plasterer not coming till next week but everything else is done so it doesn't look too bad

Soooo...remember that spa day that Ex had booked before I broke up with him? Well he told me last night that instead of cancelling it he actually just changed the date and now it's my birthday present! So I'm going there next Saturday - Grin

ayeokthen · 20/10/2016 11:31

Glad the chaos is mostly behind you Capes Grin
Wow, he's really ramping up the pressure eh? Still, at least you get a free spa day before you tell him to go and fuck himself Grin does the day extend to him having the kids or is he still determined his pal's birthday is more important?
All that aside, enjoy your spa day Grin

Mix56 · 20/10/2016 12:40

Well, he probably couldn't get his money back, but Please go, do ALL the treatments, soak in the hot tub, enjoy the massage/facial/nails......
(next you need an aptmt at the hair dresser.)..... Enjoy it, you deserve some pampering. Try to switch off, relax, breath........ then when you see him next, you say you have a dinner date, & feel wonderful ready fo it....... :o)

myfriendnigel · 20/10/2016 13:10

But not with him though capes?

RandomMess · 20/10/2016 13:12

Only an hour from Blackpool you say - which direction... Wink

You are doing so so so so well, enjoy the spa day Grin

rainbowstardrops · 20/10/2016 13:34

Enjoy the spa day - just make sure his intention isn't for him to join you there!
