Well, I said the same last year, but look what happened! Still, nothing like being positive is there!

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 05/12/2007 13:22

My eye is still playing up

I have booked an appointment with the sister at my gp surgery. I am hoping to get some anti-biotics to clear it up for once and for all.

I am still very down. Still thinking about G, despite him hardly looking at me or talking to me. . H pissed me off today because he was more concerned about doing a full day (he's working from home because we are seeing ds' Xmas play this evening and he must finish at 5pm), so would not take ds to school. Luckily, my mum stepped in (at some inconvenience to her), but I couldn't get an appointment in the end until 3.40pm, which means I can take ds with me after school.

It is all a muddle and I'm still in the doldrums.

Sorry to whinge.

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 06/12/2007 09:39

Went to the gp surgery yesterday and the nurse was really nice. She made me an appointment to see gp tonight, because I told her that I was getting dark thoughts again.

Baffy · 06/12/2007 09:55

Glad you've been to GP Dior. Am thinking of going myself.

How are you feeling today? Eyes any better?

Raffaella · 06/12/2007 10:06

Whinge away! Sorry you are feeling so rubbish.

Think you really need to bottom things out with H. Your talk before appears to have ended abruptly because he got upset. You felt sorry for him and got a bit scared yourself at how far things had gone? That's how it came accross to me anyway.

The problems in your relationship are so deep rooted it really needs some decent counselling to sort. Just a chat between the two of you isn't going to scratch the surface. Are you still on the waiting list at Relate?

Sending you a and big hugs.

You know what you've said about 2008 ..... well it's nearly here!

Fubsyinapeartree · 06/12/2007 10:06

Dior, if its all getting too much, try to spend more time on here with us, or anyone else you can find!

Good luck at the docs, and I hope they can sort your eye.

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 06/12/2007 11:25

Raffaella - we did talk for a further 4 hours after he walked off in a huff. We got a lot sorted, but I think he is feeling comfortable again, so is trying less hard. He is concerned about me being depressed again, but seems to blame work for tiring me out, and does not want to take any responsibility for it himself. You know, 'We are ok now, so it can't be that' .

My eyes are ALOT better today, but I am still taking the drops. The ABs are helping my abcess too. I had a chat with R in our office earlier, asking her if she is getting enough support, because D didn't and ended up losing her job with us. We talked for a while and it ended up with us discussing G. She actually had a fling with him 18 months ago (before she worked with us) but realised what he was like very soon afterwards and told him to sling his hook.

So, he really is a nob and a womaniser. But, I still like him. I wish I didn't.

TimeForMe · 06/12/2007 11:40

I just wanted to say I am loving the new name!

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 06/12/2007 13:29

Have just found out that G slept with R 18 months ago, when they were seeing each other (he was with someone, but she didn't know!) Lou would be pleased to note that she was right about his abilities in bed. Apparently R was 'not gagging for more' after it...

MascaraOHara · 07/12/2007 08:47

Oh Dior you really are having such a shit time at the minute.

Roll on 2008. I want you to pick yourself up and dust yourself off New ?Years day - hold you head high and close the book on this year!

G really is a tit. Why is it so easy to fall for those sorts.. all mouth and not much in the trouser department lol

With office bloke (I'll start calling him OB) I'm starting to wonder if my obsession was built partially (or more than I care to admit) out of the thought of the fact he took it away from me and I had no control over it. Like a child having her toy taken away. I've always recognised that I sm slightly spoilt and I wonder if that I wouldl have liked him so much if he had been easy to obtain. If there were no obsticles in the way and you could have G tomorrow would you really truly want him? knowing all that you know about him now

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 07/12/2007 09:50

MOH - actually, you would all be proud of me. R telling me what happened has totally put me off him! I can't quite believe it. She has told me other stuff today that he has been up to in the office (his ears are probably burning) and he is one skanky mutt. Thank God I didn't sleep with him!

He actually put R up for the job here(and sounded out her relationship position at the same time), no doubt thinking she wouldn't get it, but would want to keep in touch again. Did he really think that his harem in the office wouldn't compare notes?

Saw gp last night and he has put me up another level on my Prozac during Winter. I am now on 60mg temporarily. Oddly enough, I actually feel brighter now!

MascaraOHara · 07/12/2007 10:06

Dior that is a positive post.

I think the upped dosage will help.. I hope the rest of the day goes well..

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 07/12/2007 10:24

Thanks, you too. How are things?

Raffaella · 07/12/2007 10:31

It's good that you are sounding a lot more positive today.

skanky mutt. Brilliant.

Baffy · 07/12/2007 10:49

Great news Dior! Sounds like a lucky escape - what an arse!

Good to hear you sounding a lot brighter

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 07/12/2007 11:20

All of us girls in the office are in an uproar about him! He has tried it on with the 17 year-old NVQ girl too, but she has her head screwed on so well that she is not interested! We have all been discussing our experiences with him and he is just so sleazy - he has been out with clients of the office and has flirty emails with clients and candidates. He has a long-term girlfriend too...

I can't believe that I fell for him. I was 37 and feeling really low and he made me feel sexy again. What a pig.

MascaraOHara · 07/12/2007 11:20

I'm alright thanks Dior. lots of stuff going on but feeling better than I was this time last month that's for sure

HappyDaddy · 07/12/2007 12:12

Dior, I periodically check on your threads to see how you are doing. Nosy and annoying, I know.

I'm glad to hear you are sounding so much more positive.

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 07/12/2007 12:30

Thanks HD. Haven't seen you on here lately. I appreciate your support.

OhComeLetUsADiorHim · 08/12/2007 18:58

Managed to get a lovely dress in Laura Ashley (this one). It doesn't look as lovely on me I must say, but does look stylish and chic. It was a desperation buy in the end though as nothing else fitted. All the strapless ones I liked from Coast fitted on the hips if they were a 16, but I needed a 14 top. H was pissing me off by being mega grumpy. He was not very flattering about a lot of the dresses I tried on, and I had to remind him that NO dress was going to be so flattering as to make me look thin!

In the end he took ds home and I had an hour on my own. I mnaged to get a lovely '50s style ruched black clutch bag and a black pashmina to hide my flabby arms. So, I'm all ready for the Dorchester on Friday!

Fubsyinapeartree · 08/12/2007 20:43

nice dress! I cant wear dresses - not enough norkage to fill up the top, or else the bingo wings put me right off!

Baffy · 10/12/2007 09:59

really lovely dress

I went shopping on saturday to get something for my work christmas party... nightmare!

loving the christmas shopping though. even when it's dark, miserable and raining, I love getting wrapped up warm and walking round the shops with all the christmas lights and music! can't wait for christmas!

Tanee58 · 10/12/2007 14:40

Hi Dior, gorgeous dress!

Sounds like G is now revealed in all his naked skankiness. Lou isn't the only one who suspected he was all mouth and (empty) trousers !

Now... we just need to sort out your H...

MascaraOHara · 10/12/2007 14:55

Dior that dress is gorgeous!

HappyWoman · 10/12/2007 16:43

lvely dress dior - laury ashley are good and do seem to be flattering.

I wore a black LA to a party on sun as it was the only thing that looked even remotely good on me, and didnt feel too tight.

2008 will be my year for dieting - at least my H says he doesnt mind about my weight but i do. I just cant seem to stop eating at the moment.
