So well put and so true oldbrook Articulating what you feel and why is really helpful, it makes sense when loving them still doesn’t make sense.

gingergenius · 15/03/2018 10:11

You're all amazing. I have been getting my diary organised so I'm not chasing my tail on work/projects. Got another 5 assignments to complete so that will keep me busy and it's coming up to wedding season so work will start to pick up too. Need to kick myself up the atse and get motivated.

Any movement on the Easter meetup? I can do first week (not 6th)

seshi · 15/03/2018 10:17

I can't do between 2nd and the 9th xx

I just feel sad today. I stupidly still love him. Or the version of him that I fell in love with in the first 2 years. That's who's in my heart. "

Yes, but it is not who he IS. It may be a small fragment of him but the bit you are seeing / suffering from now is the REAL him. And its really bad for you.x

OldBrook that list is SO helpful. thanks.x

I am sitting in a cold (and grubby) cottage with a mountain of laundry and admin to do (most of it re SEN kids so battling LEA etc)
I managed not to post on FB y'day DOM's official b'day but I know he will take that as a sign that I am content our contact was/is 'secret' so that annoys me.

I shall post waht I wanted to put here:
'There is nothing that the busy man is less busy with than living. there is nothing that is harder to learn.' (Seneca) Tempus Fugit, Mr S'

There. Now I have a day of solitude and housework. And my foot hurts. My Op would have been tomorrow if I hadnt bottled it. Ooof.

seshi · 15/03/2018 10:43

@basseting aw it's a pretty miserable day here as well... Chuck us some laundry I will help you x

Seshi sorry to whinge. I'd not make you sort my (not so..) smalls!

But do you fancy a fresh pot of coffee and some homemade Brownies?

(dd made them at school and mistakenly put in double the amount of chocolate - they are incredible).

Re this meetup at the V&A - I'd love to for lots of reasons but partly because I always 'covered' for time with DOM by saying I was at the V&A. Met MF there (that's ongoing...) So to meet YOU LOT would be a huge 'progress' 'for me. But I am also embarrassed as I am poor and fat :(

gingergenius · 15/03/2018 10:50

@Oldbrook I'm on the next flight out lol!!!

gingergenius · 15/03/2018 10:52

Don't be embarrassed @Basseting I'm poor, slightly portly and ginger. And perimenopausal!

Basseting · 15/03/2018 11:00

I have this mental image that everyone on MN is about 28, size 8, beautifully dressed, with an amazing career and confidence.

OldBrook careful now, you might get lots of visitors with an openhouse offer like that (dreams of world that is not constantly buffeted by North Sea winds that howl and scour) the poor newborn lambs here can only just stand upright. They are wearing clear wrappers (to deter foxes) and are scurrying after their mothers like their lives depend on it. Unlike us, who do NOT scurry after NC's but put our crowns on, plan meet ups and generally say: 'bugger off' to the pathetic males who have been dragging us down. OH, yes!

gingergenius · 15/03/2018 11:11

@Basseting add 20 years and 2 dress sizes and you're closer to the mark lol!

seshi · 15/03/2018 11:12

@basseting you do make me smile...! I have that image as well... I am way past 28!!! By twenty years! I am not rich by any means either...

Just wondering if a WhatsApp group or something would be safer to arrange a meet up? It's easy to forget that this is a public conversation!

gingergenius · 15/03/2018 12:04

Ooh yes @Belonger that's probably sensible!

Basseting · 15/03/2018 12:13

Belonger
Yes, you are right. I know the V&A is big and crowded but was about to describe self and if we are all 'be-badged then I guess some love-crazed NC might be able to track us down and come and plight his troth to one of us on bended kneee (at which point the group would simultaneously say: 'Nah, not good enough' and stride off like Amazons) Grin

How do you join WhatsApp?

Basseting · 15/03/2018 12:14

Actually my secret fantasy is that I arrange to meet DOM 10 mins later so when I am safely with my Crown Wearers we can all point, shriek: 'Steptoe' and run. Playground, much? Blush Grin

clickerchick · 15/03/2018 12:14

@Basseting love it! Can we wear bronze breast plates and develop a war cry??

wossgoinon · 15/03/2018 12:14

Sorry can I join too

clickerchick · 15/03/2018 12:15

Yes of course Woss. How are you feeling after this morning???

clickerchick · 15/03/2018 12:15

Bugger. Name change fail

gingergenius · 15/03/2018 12:17

That's better!

seshi · 15/03/2018 12:17

Basseting · 15/03/2018 12:19

(stoneage tech person....)

wossgoinon · 15/03/2018 12:22

I am not feeling good. Like everyone else I loved the person he portrayed to be and i was left with someone who cheats when he is bored. He said only happy people cheat. That makes me feel great. Not. A lot of other things have come to light too. I just feel very let down and alone
