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.

What a wonderful update dear @StuckInPollyannaMode and how kind of you to do so.

You sound so much stronger and happier now.

I wish you and your girls the very best life can offer. In fact,

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. 🌹

Fab update Polly, all the best for you and the Dollies x

EarringsandLipstick · 11/02/2023 20:43

I had just had a thought that I hadn't seen an update in a while so searched & found your latest - I remember posting on your very first thread when you were querying (yet-to-named) Geller's behaviour.

I followed subsequently without posting.

I enjoyed your writing style & unfortunately, empathised with your challenges with Geller.

I marvelled at your resilience, friendship groups, social life & dating - the last 3 seem very unattainable to me (I mean that sincerely btw, not being snarky or anything, I'm really impressed).

The very best of luck as life moves ahead so positively for you 💐 you had a great bunch of posters on your threads and I enjoyed their perspectives too.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 12/02/2023 13:20

Much love and best wishes to you and the Dollies, @StuckInPollyannaMode.

Thack · 11/03/2023 22:37

Long time lurker, I hadn't followed this thread properly so a late catch up sorry.

Wanted to add to the congratulations to you @StuckInPollyannaMode 💐 You are an inspirational woman. Wishing you and the dollies all the best!

FoofOfTheWalkingDead · 15/03/2023 16:07

OMG. I feel as if I've just finished a really great book that I want to recommend to all my friends because the ending is so satisfying. I've followed you from the start Polly, and you've really inspired me with your determination and your humour.

Onwards and upwards!

Chickmad · 16/03/2023 14:53

Do miss the updates...maybe one day you will write your full story Polly. You certainly have a gift for writing. I would buy the book!

Grrrpredictivetex · 27/05/2023 23:14

@Polly do hope life is good for you and you're living a calm and fulfilling life.
