Hi Becca. Apparentley this computer isn't powerful enough. I have an IBook but it needs a new keyboard. But thanks baby. No FF I'm not doind a sodding thing today. Bit of pacing-but am going to try and do something with boys.

Fairyfly · 29/08/2004 11:29

Could you take them to the cinema, that stops you pacing

spook · 29/08/2004 11:42

Yeah FF. I think I'll do just that. ThanksXXX

Any of you in Hertfordshire...ANORAK!! Sirens on at Picnic in the Park at Harpenden Rugby Club. On stage at 16.40. Get yourself along and give Katsut Kat a piece of my mind. Or at least a bit of a heckle. (and my darling h will be there!!)

deegward · 29/08/2004 11:55

you know i had spoken to dh about taking the boys to this! I wish I had got tickets now . I have a very loud voice and would have heckled for all my might.

anorak · 29/08/2004 12:40

Afternoon all, just emerged from my pit

I've just read back all your posts on this thread, what gorgeous amazing women you are to be so loving and accommodating to people who have treated you badly. Fairfly you sound like a completely different person to the one I first got to know on this site, when I saw you last week there was a new positivity about you that wasn't there when I visited you. You are moving on so fast now and a few short months ago you thought you'd never get out of that despondant mood.

And you, spook, you have so much love to give. I'm not surprised he can't let you go, he must know deep down that he will never find such love again - to have love like that once in a lifetime is rare enough. He is confused - but that is very much his problem, you have to get on with your life and don't even think about being with him unless he works through all his s**t and comes back with 100% commitment and no doubt in his mind. Nothing less is good enough especially after all the grief he has caused. Until such time you are a free agent. Take your dss out somewhere nice today and forget him, just have fun being your lovely self.

I'm not going to Harpenden, I'm going to the playing field to pick sloes to make a gallon of sloe gin like I do every autumn. And I will pick some more blackberries and feed my ds's face with them until he is blue round the mouth with happy berry juice. What could be better? You could do the same!! That's much more fun than watching some cheap tart in a catsuit wailing an insincere song about emotions she is too young to understand.

spook · 29/08/2004 13:41

Oh Anorak. That last line did make me laugh! Have a lovely day. I'm so glad your making some more sloe gin-more gin fizz for Spooks next visit. Goody.

tigermoth · 29/08/2004 14:49

oh I just have to butt in. We've just come back from the field near our school with boxes of blackberries we have picked. So many - must be a bumper year. And I was thinking about Sloes and where to pick them for the gin we make. Happy berry juice - love it!!

Every time I look in on this thread (sorry, I don't look a lot because I never quite get that far) I see amazing, inspiring and insightful messages from all sorts of people. I am sorry so much of that has come about because of pain. I hope you look back in years to come and are proud of what you have written. You all should be.

anorak · 29/08/2004 15:47

Aaah tigermoth, what a nice thing to say, you're sweet

anorak · 29/08/2004 15:48

I just told the kids about Harpenden and they want to go there and throw rotten eggs.

They love you so, spook

spook · 29/08/2004 17:14

Oh I wish you had. I reckon your DS has a wicked aim. You could probably get DH's bald patch.

Clayhead · 29/08/2004 17:20

nice one spook

spook · 29/08/2004 18:38

Oh God. Someone help me PLEASE. I am going MAD.This great big house is a horrible tip-I try so hard to keep it clean and tidy but 2 boys and a dog and me-it's like painting the Forth Bridge.The boys are having a mad hour-DS2 has just thrown his corn on the cob around the kitchen(!!!) I could just get in the car right now and drive off the end of the pier. I have this desperate need to DO something. Maybe I should just go to the bottom of the garden and scream.

kalex · 29/08/2004 18:41

Spook, HUGS.

Dont post often,

Go have a ciggie in the garden and sit them in front of fx kids. Take 300 deep breathes, not all on the ciggie, AND repeat this mantra " IT WILL BE BETTER TOMMOROW"

I do this at least once a week!!!

From another single mum of two (6 & 2.8)

spook · 29/08/2004 18:43

Oh Kalex-THANKYOU. Have just read Carla's desperate booze quitter thread and now am sobbing because life is so bloody shit and unfair and she's got real problems. Mine are all in my head.

Fairyfly · 29/08/2004 18:43

Sod the house, to be perfectly honest mine was shithole for the entire year, it is not important, not at all.
Put your kids to bed and throw some crockery, take up clay pigeon shooting or learn to drive a tank, something impowering.
Could anyone come round tonight, or are you not in the mood?
I just spoke to my x's girlfriend, she answered the phone, she puts on a really posh voice, it makes me laugh now.

feelingsad · 29/08/2004 18:45

I have been reading this thread and feeling very sorry for myself and realised that although my DH and I are having problems (I am 8 months pg) I think we will work them out.

Spook I wish you all the strength in the world to get through this, I really feel for you and have gone through a marriage break up over 10 years ago and my God it's the most painful experience you will probably go through but you WILL make it and get stronger and move on. My thoughts are with you.

spook · 29/08/2004 18:50

Thanks feelingsad and FF. I JUST CAN"T STOP CRYING. Just realised am premenstrual so that combined with the shittiness that is single bank holidays and his birthday all rolled into one are why I'm feeling totally suicidal. Wouldn't want anyone round to sit through this shit FF. Boys are fine-out in garden. Out of earshot!

Is it right or healthy to hate and despise someone so much? I am astonished at my own vicousness.

I've always wanted to open a cafe for women to dissapear to, no questions asked, in the back they would have padded walls and piles of plates, comfort cafe

spook · 29/08/2004 19:34

My business in London will be an escape for women FF. It's going to be a shop full of gorgeous sparkly things and covetable things called "Precious Things" Just walking into it will make you fell like there's something good to have!!!I think me and the boys will live in it. Surrounded by Precious Things.
