Tick tock: the one where Geller discovers Polly is no longer a doormat

AKA Co-parenting: I do not think it means what you think it means

Here we go again my lovelies! Will this be the one where I finally get divorced?!

Previous thread here

I have clock news! Turns out, no one wants it. Quelle surprise. Could I sell it? No, sez I, it’s worth ha’penny tuppence on a good day. Plus, no time.

Ha ha.

I suggested, because I am a kind hearted soul and because it’s already in a box and I don’t know which one that they keep the clock face and I get rid of the mechanism and the case. That appears to be a reasonable compromise. Pass me an axe.

The reason for the clock conversation? My brother phoned. My mother has given away my grandfather’s WW1 medals to a museum. WTF?! We’re going to try and get them back. She can’t see what she’s done wrong.

Solicitors on the other side for the house purchase are useless. Estate agent spoke to them today. They are awaiting proof of ID and funds on account?! WTF. I lost my shit a bit. I’d just come back from having a filling so I sounded three gins down, which I’m sure added to the effect.

Oh, and I haven’t stopped laughing for the last hour. A friend has found Geller’s profile on a dating app. It contains such gems as ‘addressing climate change one word at a time in my career as a professional’ and goes on to claim he ‘always has time’

Given me the best laugh I’ve had since my solicitor said she’d call me just to be sure that I wanted to file for absolute once the finance order is made…

Anyway, buckle up loves. It’ll be a ride, as ever…glad you could join me.

Absolutely fantastic, you’ve got a new lease of life free from all your issues. Ok, you still have to communicate with Geller, but you’re doing fine with that too. Open a bottle of fizz to celebrate cos you’re doing great girl. 🍾🍾🍾

clippety clop · 03/05/2022 21:32

Congratulations on being a sole home owner. Yours all yours, no grandfather clock (hopefully) absolutely no Geller but loads of Polly and her Dollies and some nice fun Westley time.

What's happening on the Westley job front?

I'm thrilled for you, despite my name change I've been with you since the beginning. Well done that woman.

Ps I hope your mother is suitably proud! X

Tomeeornottomee · 03/05/2022 21:34

How did your presentation go @StuckInPollyannaMode? 🌹

StuckInPollyannaMode · 04/05/2022 16:53

Oh you GUYS! You made me cry again! I couldn’t have done it without you all - I’m thinking I need to plant a Polly Plant or something in the garden to remind me of you all.

@Newestname002 aced it, baby! Doubled our contract for the rest of the year! #winning #thisgirlcan 😆
