Lord just lost 2 hours of my life to this thread, what a rollercoaster. You must be emotionally exhausted OP!!
Best of Food Luck for today, it’s a big day but it’s only 24 hours long just like any other day. Tonight you’ll get into bed like always but feeling so much lighter, like a weight off your shoulders

Snazzysausage · 13/03/2025 11:40

I've read all your posts and just wanted to say you are amazing. I think it's true that most people don't realise how strong they can be until times of adversity.
It's heartwarming to see you have so much support on here.

Daftapath · 13/03/2025 11:56

Best of luck op!

Don’t forget to discuss child maintenance asap to help with your income. Now that you have an accurate idea of his income, you can calculate the minimum he would pay using the online calculator. If he refuses you can apply online to have this taken direct from his paycheck.

I’m on it don’t worry, I will be watching the flight trackers.

Most flights have wifi these days, especially long haul. Be careful

SlowestHorse · 13/03/2025 11:58

Just to say - well done, you’re doing brilliantly. Be kind to yourself and be prepared for done ups and downs emotionally - it’s all part of the process. Hang in there and Food Luck over the next few days!

kellygoeswest · 13/03/2025 11:59

I've been following this from the start but I can't remember if I commented at any point... anyway, OP you have been incredibly resourceful and courageous this entire way through.

I hope once you have fair access to your finances you're able to relax and treat yourself a little, you deserve it after all of this!

Wishing you the best for the next few days.

MamaBear2210T · 13/03/2025 12:01

Thinking of you xx

StarCourt · 13/03/2025 12:03

@Jessa85 you have the whole of mumsnet (except Pink Flamingo) rooting for you

mylittlekomododragon · 13/03/2025 12:06

You are amazing! Wishing you well for today.

Jessa85 · 12/03/2025 17:06

Ohh I'm liking that idea 😂

OP for PM! I'll start a petition 😂.......seriously hope you're ok OP and today is going to plan xx

Deathraystare · 13/03/2025 12:40

How is he still alive?????

Keep away from all sharp instruments this week and next - I know it will be very tempting!

I am sure once he is on his own he will be very happy cooking his own meals and doing his own housework (yeah right). Let's all hope he doesn't get a replacement for his wife anytime soon!

Zimunya · 13/03/2025 12:42

Thinking of you today, @Jessa85 , and hoping everything goes well and you are not too stressed xx

Anyone else looking on Flight Radar and searching for flights from Abu Dhabi? My "HA HA YOU'RE BUSTED BUSTER" is neatly wrapped, in my car and I can be at the airport within the hour.

Edited

The Abu Dhabi flight landed at LHR at 6.45 this morning.

BetjemansBear · 13/03/2025 12:52

He's travelling from UAE not Abu Dhabi.

Weepixie · 13/03/2025 12:56

@BetjemansBear

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE.

Washingupdone · 13/03/2025 12:58

weirdoboelady · 13/03/2025 10:52

All agreed. It's not me you need to be talking to, it's the phone companies. I am saying that recording apps on phones DO NOT WORK RELIABLY to record both sides of the conversation since GDPR. You need to use a 2nd phone or other device to record the whole convo. The phone companies don't know the intended use of the recording, and so have blocked the facility (it does work sometimes but is not a safe way of recording).

Edited

I have used a very old tape recorder before now, luckily I did.

BetjemansBear · 13/03/2025 12:59

Weepixie · 13/03/2025 12:56

@BetjemansBear

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE.

Thank you, I didn't know that 😂

Weepixie · 13/03/2025 13:01

@BetjemansBear its ok. I used to think the Madives were in Moldova.

spinningisthebest · 13/03/2025 13:19

Not sure what happened to my earlier post and at the risk of it being somewhere and repeating myself - although I think I am happy to repeat myself to say I am in awe of your strength and focus, glad your family has your back as does pretty much the whole of Mumsnet.

thornbury · 13/03/2025 13:21

BetjemansBear · 13/03/2025 12:59

Thank you, I didn't know that 😂

@BetjemansBear and covers 84% of the land that makes up the UAE. It likes to be quietly majestic and serene while Dubai shows off just down the road.

Food luck, OP - rooting for you here!

NeedyTiger · 13/03/2025 13:27

Food luck word of the day ! Not that you need it oh to be a fly on the wall when he and she realise what's happening today when they think they have you fooled . Love to you and the girls Jessa glad your mum is coming to stay 🌹

VelvetUndergrounds · 13/03/2025 13:29

Jessa85 · 13/03/2025 06:41

Good morning and thank you for all the lovely words of support, I cried some tears last night reading all your messages ❤️ hoping today goes well and I’ll talk to you all soon.

I’m so thankful for all of you, except for pinkflamingo… i am returning her negativity to sender 😌

‘I’m so thankful for all of you, except for pinkflamingo… i am returning her negativity to sender 😌’

Love this, you’re a total inspiration, wishing you the best of luck 💪 xxx

drspouse · 13/03/2025 13:35

I hope the silence by the OP means she's having a celebratory lunch, rather than firefighting any retaliation from Beige Food Man.

nonevernotever · 13/03/2025 13:39

Yet another well wisher coming on to say food luck, and hope it's all going well today. Your courage in taking decisive action is inspirational. Wishing you and the girls a wonderful future.

murasaki · 13/03/2025 13:47

Likewise, you've got this. And your grandad sounds fab! What a treasure.
