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.

LookItsMeAgain · 12/01/2023 13:16

It's gorgeous!

How are you getting on now that it's all done and dusted??

Has your mother stopped communicating with him as she said she would?

By the way, you've lovely long fingers and nails. I'd say even a plastic Christmas cracker ring would look good on those fingers!!

crosspusscrossstitcher · 12/01/2023 13:18

Yay!!!

I do love that ring.

Any correspondence from Geller? or is he licking his wounds

What a gorgeous ring! I love sapphires, and with the diamonds on the band they look amazing.

Freedom never looked so classy, Polly!

Pashazade · 12/01/2023 17:24

Gorgeous, excellent taste, I have one of my mum's which is almost identical which I need to get resized. Well done Polly!

Fraaahnces · 12/01/2023 18:00

Stunning! Stylish and perfect. I honestly think you should pack in Accountancy and become a hand model.

purplecorkheart · 12/01/2023 19:12

Beautiful ring. Hope you are celebrating this weekend even if you are still on antibiotics

CrikeyPeg · 12/01/2023 19:45

Wooohooooo!!!!!!!!!

BornBlonde · 14/01/2023 12:58

StuckInPollyannaMode · 12/01/2023 12:29

Sorry - should have clarified- the diamond band is my eternity ring for the DDs. It’s the sapphire and diamond which is my freedom ring

The sapphire ring is beautiful

Fraaahnces · 15/01/2023 04:12

Now you’ve been divorced a week, has the idiot finally accepted his new place in your life and stepped back a bit with his unreasonable messages?

Have you ever considered a career in comedy?

Grin

He's Geller, he can't help it, it's in his DNA and there's probably another (4th/5th?) future wife thinking he's nice and normal.

Boy, will she be disappointed.

@StuckInPollyannaMode I hope you've managed some sort of celebration (tablets permitting) and that G is licking his wounds on radio silence, hoping you'll come around to "his way of thinking" delusional knob that he is. 😉
