Previous thread

How’s that for a title?!

Well, I’ve done a deal on the car. Actually it drives very nicely. I can see it’s practical. And it’s not an old banger.

It’s not very me. But it is sensible, and sensible I must be.

Actually got some kip last night. 9-5.

How’s everyone else doing? Justilou is it warm in Oz? One of my best friends lives there and I haven’t seen her for too long. RandomMess have you managed to have a better night / find out when you’re going home?

I haven’t told him about handing it over to the solicitor and no mediation on Friday yet. Waiting for the notes and financial summery from the mediator first. Hopefully today.

Just caught up on the end of the old thread, all your clingfilm issues have made me feel positively chipper with my morning cuppa!

Kids asked last night if we’d found the note to Santa. I fudged it. Still haven’t told him.

@StuckInPollyannaMode I feel so privileged to have understood the title 😂
Good luck when it rolls around to Friday and the geller manchild can't fathom what's going on.

zippityzip · 15/12/2020 06:21

And I'm glad you've finally got some sleep.

MaitlandGirl · 15/12/2020 06:22

Haven’t posted before but I’m gutted for you that a second thread is needed.

Oh good, yet another hilarious Hmm in joke cliquey thread
Placemarking with delicious warm Christmas biscuits.
DartmoorDoughnut · 15/12/2020 07:12

Is it just me looking forward to SHL’s response to his demands?!

Hope you manage to transplant some of your plants

RandomMess · 15/12/2020 07:15

I am contemplating ordering some Lakeland cling film for DH Christmas present shame the p&p is so high. I quite fancy a trip to the flagship store but they are only in Tier 2 and well I can't drive 😭

I understand your reticence to tell Ex about the note as he will be all dramatic and lay the blame guilt trip at your feet. Thanks

DartmoorDoughnut · 15/12/2020 07:19

@RandomMess I think it’s on Amazon with free delivery if that’s helpful but I’m not sure if it’s the right one!

If you took the time to read the first thread you would see how wrong you are on most of your assumptions.

Hmm back at you Confused

RandomMess · 15/12/2020 07:23

Argh Amazon Prime in DH name etc hmmmm I may plot....

One year he got a few big brushes for his birthday, well he said he wanted some 🤪😆

@Ihavethesecret is butthurt this morning

@Ihavethesecret go find OP' first thread, read it, then come back with an attitude adjustment.

So glad you had a better night, OP!

StuckInPollyannaMode · 15/12/2020 08:17

Welcome to all old and new posters. No clique at all. Just glad to have you all chipping in and supporting and cheering me on and reining me in when needed.

I’ll get to the roses and the jasmine at the weekend and see what I can do. Maybe not with a potato 😂

Just had a bit of a cry whilst getting dressed. I love my bedroom so much, it took me 8 months to find the wallpaper and wait for it to be on sale. It’s my haven. I’m going to miss it. I’ll never be able to afford that paper again. Or ceilings that high Wink

Hey ho. Onwards and upwards. Also cannot wait for SHL’s take on the Scroll of Doom.

Himself is very perky this morning. Makes me suspicious.

If you set yourself up as a family on Amazon, you can use a single Prime subscription (and share books & audible) but not see each others buying history
Fefifofaff · 15/12/2020 08:50

Perky is indeed suspicious. Although it may just be his self satisfaction at being THE MAN and having dictated what is going to happen next with his 7 pages list of commandments from on high. Because, you know, what he says is law. 🙄

He's done this twice before, he should know better. He's in for a ride awakening when the judge laughs at him.

Fefifofaff · 15/12/2020 08:50

*rude awakening even. Ffs.

Daftapath · 15/12/2020 08:53

Yes, he thinks that you are just going to fall into line.

Sparrow91 · 15/12/2020 08:56

Been lurking on the previous thread but with a new one thought it was time to say hello - you’ve been doing amazingly, I’ve never had so many ‘atta girl’ thoughts Flowers

Definitely would be side-eying the perkiness... does he think he’s scoring a slam dunk with his 7 page ‘final offer’? Hmm

Keep your head up (above the perky) because you will get the last laugh when SHL responds, it’s just a matter of time Grin

DPotter · 15/12/2020 09:59

Good tip Fefifofaff - didn't know you could do that

DPotter · 15/12/2020 10:00

Sorry - that's thanks to Svalberg!

CharityDingle · 15/12/2020 10:26

I read your thread on Saturday night/ Sunday morning when I couldn't sleep. You're doing great, it must be hard, but your sense of humour is brilliant.

No advice, just hoping all goes well.

Seven pages... wow! That's not how these things work, which he must know, as this is his third time around.
