New Fab & Glam (Part 2 - happy endings?!)

[Baffy]

Lets hope this is the thread where we all find our happy endings

latest in my car crash life on FB

Going by Baffy's H's response to her having a holiday, i think I was living with him too!

XP was the master of the tit-for-tat.

Me: Why are you shouting at DD?

Him: Well you shout at her all the time!

He's in a crap mood this week. Dropped DD off on Wed and walked straight out again.

I asked what was wrong, and he shouted "Ive spent 20 years telling you I cant hear mumbling, and she's doing it too. Now she wont tell me what she said."

What a surprise. Then he stormed out! DD acts more maturely. Its like he's taking it out on her because she does something that reminds him of me.

He's not actually deaf, he's had his hearing tested, but he insists he cant hear what people say. I think its a kind of atention deficit thing, I think he's not actiually listening because he's more interested in what he's going to say himself. If youd ever spent any time talking to him youd know what I mean.

I am wondering if NW is off the scene, he hasnt mentioned her for a few weeks....

Hi all, sorry haven't been here lately have had all sorts going on including BT cutting my broadband off Can't stop atm but just wanted to say am thinking of you all and def on for that weekend PC and everyone else that can make it. I'll MSN you to arrange asap. I'll try and catch up properly tomorrow xx

Hi everyone i have absolutely no chance of catching up with you all but just wanted to show my face and lend a sympathetic ear.
Sorry it looks like so many of you are having such a difficult time and nothing really constructive to say other than i hope things improve for you as this was suppose to be your year
All is good here and Martha being a dream baby so that helps. I know i am really lucky with how things have turned out here and only wish some of it would rub off on you, it must be so tough, take care all LL X

Hi Baffy

Please do be careful that H is not running huge debts because my understanding is that any savings/debts occuring within the marriage are jointly split. I may be wrong but do keep tabs on your needs and what he gives you.

Really thinking of you at the monent and wish i could help you more. It sounds as if he really has buried his head in the sand and cant find a way to pull it out.

You are strong and will get through this.

Thanks HW - I will have a look into that and keep track of it all. He always did hide things from me where money's concerned anyway, god knows what state things are really in for him (us!).

Have had a few texts and it doesn't sound like his time away is too good. Weather's rubbish and I think he's missing ds and a bit lonely. I give up!

PMSL at us all being married to the same man

PC I can't get on FB at the moment but I will catch up later.

Fubsy - poor dd, can't believe he's being like that with her. And taking it out on her because she does something that reminds him of you. Sounds like he's a complete nightmare, I 100% understand what you mean about the not listening thing, too busy in his own head thinking of what he's going to say next. I won't say who, but I totally know what you mean! So frustrating!

Lilyloo so glad you're ok and Martha is being so good xxx

Hi everyone,

Baffy, my heart bleeds for your H - ...

Hope this week's a bit better - what a crap year, so far.

Looks like we've found ourselves a roofer at last - recommended by someone at work, arrived with a reasonable quote and even did us a patch job to keep it watertight until the final repair's done, and all without payment and BEFORE we accepted his quote .

I went to this fabulous pizza place in Covent Garden, before Fiddler on the Roof last Friday (fab show ). It's called Fire and Stone, prices on a par with Pizza Express, but really unusual toppings and lovely merlot. If anyone fancies a night out, I'll book us a table. Shall we convene on FB to arrange a date? If my lodger has found herself a permanent flat by late February, I'll be able to offer a room to any overnighters.

sounds great count me in!

saw sol today, will update FB some time later today.

i'd love to meet up but am really restricted with childcare.

could always do a lunch thing and bring dd along.......

We could certainly do a Saturday or Sunday lunch if that's easier (since I expect some of us work Fridays...) - I can check if they're open on Sundays.

that would be fine for me too

sure ds would love a trip down to see you all!

Well, they're open Sundays and I've applied for a 10% discount card. They do great chocolate brownie milk shakes !

what about Sundays 24 Feb or 2 March?

Obviously not gonna be able to join you tis time ...like PC lunch with kids in tow would be better for meat mo...so that next OK???

ooh missed those last few posts - might be able to join you for a sunday lunch could stay with my sister 2 March better for me or 9th even better

ok everyone else - 2 or 9 March?

24th Feb would be fine for me.

oh, and according to my social diary so would 2nd March and probably 9th March too!

i've already got tentative plans with SG for a weekend up here so will see if we can co-ordinate that weekend.

otherwise if she can't make it for some reason i've got room for guests. Mum on sofa and kid(s) can bunk in with dd.

assuming it would be for the Sat night as I have to get out the door very early Mondays.

Message withdrawn

sounds good can do the 2nd but not 9th as dh and ds3 birthday.

Work now sorted he works for someone else! But on the same site.

I can do the 2nd March too.

Am away on 9th March already.

H's birthday today. I haven't sent a card or a text or anything.

feel very and keep remembering past birthdays that we enjoyed together. even last year and the year before we saw each other.

pc
totally understand. it was H's 30th last year and we had the best time ever - can't believe how different things will be this year.
(plus the memory of now knowing he was still with OW on his birthday, even though I believed we were back together and it was all over )

would it make you feel better to contact/see him? could you invite him for dinner with you and dd?

I know he doesn't deserve that. But do whatever helps you get through it xx

after the text "converstation" on Friday evening there's no way.

just very

they are such tossers.
