Polly and her Dollies are counting down to Christmas

Hello my lovelies

Is this going to be the thread where I finally get divorced? Will my Ring of Fabulousness ever be worn? Will the Divorce Tattinger be drunk?

I bloody well hope so. It's been a very long time coming.

Here we are again. In the main headline news... I'm still not fucking divorced from Geller. I've had to sign an affidavit for the absolute application to say yes, I want to proceed, because it's taken so bloody long.

The Dollies are amazing, brilliant and pains in the bum in equal measures Grin I can't believe how much they're growing up. For Christmas they want to learn how to make me a cup of tea for my present. I'll take that. DD1 hasn't had a good couple of weeks, not helped by me having a whole load of work done in the house so things here have been a bit chaotic. DD2 has been off school poorly with D&V, poor little mite.

Geller remains an eejit who is unable to put the Dollies first. The shenanigans have been unbelievable and of true Geller quality levels. I am rising above. And doing a lot of deep breathing. My parents have now moved house and my mother is being her usual self. I've distanced myself quite a bit. I did help them out for a day but that's it.

I'm becoming addicted to exercise again and have graduated to the fast lane in the swimming pool, hurrah. I've survived several spin classes and even treated myself to a new pair of trainers. My gardening is coming on nicely (I'm very good in autumn with slash and burn, I can do destruction) and I've now got my new shed up.

Work is insanely busy and I'm on the edge of a new possibility which will, if it comes off, be life changing for me and the Dollies in terms of security. It's going to be a crazy few months but I'll give it all I've got.

I haven't heard from Westley since I threw my toys out of the pram with him wanting to still be friends and message me randomly - no. I'm too good for breadcrumbing and I've got enough friends, thank you. I'm not dating, not planning on dating and finally feel like I'm starting to move on. But it's not a priority for me right now, although I do really miss cuddles. And sex!

Perhaps most excitingly, today I am trialling a new foundation. It's supposed to be a dupe of Estee Lauder's Double Wear, which I love, but I just can't justify the cost of for everyday wear.

As ever, if you're still following me, thank you. Without MN and you all I wouldn't be where I am today.

From the wording of the solicitors email it was the court that sent it to the wrong email address

Sounds like they are passing the buck though - who gave the court the email address I wonder? 🌹

SortingItOut · 08/01/2023 21:49

99% of court forms are done online now and everything is automated so it's very unlikely the court got it wrong as the automated system would use the email address which has been input online.

I'd be making sure you're not charged for extra work by the solicitors.

Congratulations! Get that bottle in ice! 🥂🍾

What a journey you have been on. I so remember the feeling of relief and yet how it was all so anticlimactic after all the awful shenanigans!

Time to pop the bubbly 🍾 Enjoy 😊

MyShrivelledGnarlyFinger · 10/01/2023 15:24

I've been following your saga, thank God it's all over!!🤗

Newestname002 · 10/01/2023 15:26

WooHoooooo!!! Excellent news dear Polly- one VERY positive step for the coming year. Bet you feel you've lost a very heavy weight on each shoulder. I wonder how Geller will be from here - he's so used to being a controlling twat to you he may feel a bit lost. Still - who cares??!

When you can, do have several large 🍷 🍷 to celebrate!! 🤗🌹

Slingsanderrors · 10/01/2023 15:28

Polly this is fantastic. I've followed your long arduous journey since I was on your very early threads (I've nc'd) but I'm so pleased for you. 💐

billy1966 · 10/01/2023 16:05

Wonderful news.

Here's to a great future and telling Geller to get lost the next time he bugs you.

pointythings · 10/01/2023 16:05

Congratulations!!!

There are not enough exclamation marks on my keyboard to express how pleased I am for you. Now get better so you can crack open the fizz!

alterego2 · 10/01/2023 16:15

Congratulations! I know you can't pop the champagne quite yet but you can certainly start wearing that beautiful ring if you haven't already
