Morning everyone, all you night owls and early birds! Hopefully all the World Book Day outfits are complete and will be on their way to school in a short time. I hope they all have a lovely day. It’s a brilliant idea. Reading is a complete joy and a comfort in both happy and difficult times.

I get so much support from chumplady. When I waver I look at an archive story or comments under the latest post and it fires me up. It helps me to find my anger. I think I may invest in the book too. At the start I didn’t know about the affair and he has never told me about it, just continual denials even when the evidence is staring him in the face. Chumplady helped me to realise that I wasn’t alone and to understand a bit of what was going on. Some of the women, in particular, had survived horrendous situations and that helps with hope. It certainly worked for you too!
My takeaway was delicious, as was my strawberry salts bath and face mask! Frugal delights (not the takeaway).
Cake and @emmerdaledramaqueen, I swear a lot too, but I am trying to tone it down. Sometimes only a fuckwit will do 😀
@Sadsammy, your day sounds perfect for what you were facing, and your lovely nails will remind you of how Mighty you are. The tool has taken his tools - that’s rude enough! Your daughter is a wise woman.

Going back to friends, dinners, houses, where you went with H is sad. My CBT course has taught me that doing this is important. It’s gradual, gentle, exposure to the situation creating the emotion. The strength of the emotion gradually diminishes with increased exposure. It has to be gentle and gradual exposure though. That dinner will have been a forward step even if it doesn’t feel like it. Can you tell us what the lecture was about or would that be outing?
I’ve got a very busy day today, but will catch up when I can. Stay strong Warrior Women, even if you feel sad - you can be both xx
