'lasy' lady !

That reminds me of the time I was bf DD2, DD1 was very interested in what was going on and was just making her way towards me as I took the breast pad off, my boobs were so full the milk just spurted out with such force that DD1 caught it right in the eye [eye] bless her.

Hi TFM - nice to have you back!
lol about the breast pads lilyloo and the squirty boob TFM.
Hope you got on OK at the solicitors Baffy.
Well I got woken up at 1.00 this morning by a drunken P kicking my front door trying to get in, I opened my bedroom window to tell him to piss off and he asked me to marry him. As if . He's got a lot to learn. He was so gutted that I didn't fall into his arms with gratitude that he went on the piss today too. When I tracked him down in the pub this afternoon he was so bloody nasty saying its all my fault (as usual) I up ended a pint all over his stupid head . It felt great!!!
How's everyone else's day been

TimeForMe · 11/04/2008 07:56

GU!! I know I shouldn't laugh but you tell it so well! Well done you for sticking to your guns. You really have come a long way. Brilliant.

I started reading a new book last night, Living With the Passive Aggressive Man. It could have been written about P! And me too actually, how unwittingly I have permitted and encouraged his behaviour. I feel so enlightened today!

Love to everyone else. Hope it went well at the solicitors Baffy xx

HappyWoman · 11/04/2008 08:03

TFM sorry still havenet sent that book - it may not get done until next week once the children are back at school. sorry i will get it to you though.

Hi everyone - very busy weekend ahead - i am working although i love my job .

lilyloo · 11/04/2008 09:52

How did things go Baffy ?

TFM hope it gives you some helpful ideas of how to move forward and that p uses them.

Gup bet that felt good !

Hope everyone else good!

Wow Dior, those bracelets are beautiful. So pleased you are happier today.
I'm fine, had a lovely afternoon yesterday (after soaking P!!!) I went up my Mum's with the boys and she was clearing out the loft and found loads of my old diaries and toys, I had such a laugh reading all this stuff I'd written in my teens and forgotten all about - I was so naughty, smoking, drinking and chasing after the wrong boys - not much has changed !
Then I found 2 of my cousins who I haven't seen since I was a kid on FB, so I had a very nostalgic evening
Where are you Baffy? Hope you're OK!
TFM (I'm not a MNaholic but you lot are!!!)

Baffy · 11/04/2008 17:22

hi guys

sorry not been on. wasn't really up to posting.

been advised to go for unreasonable behaviour. had my mind set on adultery, to make it very clear that it is all over because of that bitch and H's decision to choose her. but after talking it through calmly I think she convinced me that I probably wouldn't want to give OW the 'satisfaction' of achieving the one thing she always wanted. me out of H's life.
not only will the process be easier with 'unreasonable behaviour', especially as the list of evidence stacks up so well, but also I have to recognise that ultimately it is H, his behaviour, and his decisions that have led to this. and if it wasn't ow, it would have been someone else. it's not about her. it's the fact that our relationship broke down and in the way H chose to end it hisbehaviour was 'unreasonable' to say the least!

i'm ok. just very low.

going to take ds for a nice chinese banquet for tea as it's my absolute favourite so should cheer me up!

thanks so much for all thinking of me.

quick to ginnedup and his latest outburst! well done for the pint over the head though!!

dior glad you're feeling better and for the advice. you too hw it all really helps.

lily - love the story!

tfm glad he is still on his best behaviour. exactly as it should be

catch up soon xx

HappyWoman · 11/04/2008 17:40

No problem dior - i have got to go school shoe hunting anyway - will need a truck to carry all the cash i will need to kit my lot out . Heres hoping they have finished their growth spurt. Youngest dd has just about eaten me out of home this week.

TimeForMe · 13/04/2008 20:54

Have a lovely week Lily, I hope the weather is kind to you. Personally, I love being in a caravan when it's raining, all cosy inside and you can hear the rain on the roof, I must be a bit odd See you when you get back! xxx

Baffy · 14/04/2008 09:07

Hi everyone, sorry, so busy I've actually had to keep away from MN .

GU - & at your story! I once got a proposal from a boyfriend whose manipulative treatment I took for 5 years. He went down on his knees in my local pub, the night I told him I didn't want to see him again. He then stalked me for 3 years!

Prat!

Dior, you should certainly try selling your work professionally. Your bracelet is much admired.

Wish I could take some time off. Feeling very stressed and it's coming out as eczma again. DP's case is tomorrow and he has a rotten cold. We moved back into our bedroom last night, which is almost finished - just a few picture rails and the curtain rods to install. It looks very romantic and intimate - but we were too tired last night to make the most of it!

Baffy · 14/04/2008 13:43

Your bedroom sounds lovely Tanee

Can't wait to get my own place again and do it all up in my own way. Really can't wait!

Best of luck for tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you. How is dp? Do you have an idea how it should go?

Dior that doesn't sound too good Are you managing to get some time together and enjoy each other's company? Or do you think you've both stopped the effort a bit and that's why things have slipped?

I wish I knew what to say to help. Although I'm the last person who should be giving relationship advice aren't I!!

And lol at ds's talking! Totally agree! I gave ds a pile of chocolate yesterday just because I knew I'd get 5 minutes 'quiet' time whilst he covered himself in chocolate!

Tanee58 · 14/04/2008 15:37

Thanks Baffy, yes it's a lovely room - but the picture rails have proved a challenge as the walls are so uneven - the joys of a Victorian house!

DP's very nervous about tomorrow, though he's not said much. I expect he'll plead guilty & hope they don't fine him too much. I may go with him... I hope it doesn't go too badly as we have guests & his mother descending on us this week, so there won't be much privacy to talk.

Tanee58 · 14/04/2008 17:35

Thanks Dior & PC - am off home now to have a little lie down in my lovely, deep green and mahogany bolt hole (the green is the darkest Jade on the Dulux mix-your-own chart). I have a stonking headache. Then have to be sociable to DP's friend and her teenage son -who probably doesn't speak much English & my French is VERY basic. DD is not looking forward to having a stroppy french teenager around this week. Luckily his mum is a lovely Liverpudlian. I haven't seen her since 1989 but we get on great on the phone (yet another ex-GF of DP's )!

ginnedup · 14/04/2008 19:44

Sounds lovely Tannee! Good luck tomorrow & hope the guests don't drive you too mad!
I'm shattered - the holidays are wearing me out too. My sons don't seem capable of speaking to each other atm, its all shout shout shout! I'm going to work for some peace and quiet tomorrow!
Is everyone else 'enjoying' the holidays as much as I am
