Thats lovely Dior and NO WAY will you feel sad on Monday, you will have a spring in your step and run all the way home to watch Jeremy Kyle with a hot cuppa You will have a great first day!

UC my bet is that he won't have talked about you at all, not directly anyway. He may have been asked by Tartface and he may have obliged with a brief answer but i doubt very much he has had long, indepth conversations with her. men are not like us, we talk, we analyse, we mull things over. Men don't do that

But, you should let yourself think a little positively and hopefully, as long as you are prepared for what might happen you will be ok. After all, why choose to punish yourself with the misery of negative thinking when you can raise a smile and be happy with a bit of positve thinking. Being miserable and negative won't change the outcome but being happy and positive makes it more bearable.

The rabbits toilet? It was made of cardboard and she ate it! So no, she didn't use it

My god we can talk lately can't we!!

TFM I have father's day number 2 planned this weekend! My dad was away at his villa last weekend so we didn't see him, so me and ds and all my brothers and sisters are meeting at his house tomorrow night for a big roast dinner and lots of drinks Should be lovely.

Other than that it's just as much quality time with ds as possible. Do you have any nice plans? What about everyone else?

BTW - UC I totally second everything TFM says. And there is nothing wrong with some positive thinking. As long as you are prepared for all eventualities and are realistic. Which you definitely are. But there's no harm in hope and no harm in seeing the positives

TimeForMe · 20/06/2008 17:21

That sounds lovely Baffy I am hoping for some good weather because I want to get in the garden, the weeds are popping up all over the place after all this rain. Then P has promised us a run out somewhere on Sunday, I don't know where yet but I just enjoy being driven about, like the Queen so I will be happy.

Yes, positve thinking. I think we need a bit more of it on this thread now. I thin we should make next week the Fab Glam Positive Thinking Week. For every negative we have to come up with a positive!
I understand that by now you probably all think i'm quite barmey but it really does work

unhappychick · 20/06/2008 17:31

Thanks everyone. I think a lot of my RL friends think I'm mad. But they aren't me, and they aren't in my position (lucky them!).

Positive thinking it is then. Provided it's realistic. Will bear that in mind.

Dior, I really am nervous about saying who I was before, as H did used to go on here quite a lot, and it would just be horrific for him to discover this thread.... Maybe one day I'll be brave enough. Sorry!

Baffy have a lovely roast dinner tomorrow! sounds great. We are visiting FIL tomorrow...

Jeremy Kyle is nothing on that US one though, what's his name??

unhappychick · 20/06/2008 17:31

in fact, I'll bet some of you have had conversations with H on here...

TimeForMe · 20/06/2008 17:58

UC, I said a positive thought for every negative not the other way round. Your "positive thinking it is then. Providing it's realistic" does not quite fit! Don't worry, I won't expect it to be all positive.

You saying we have probably spoken to your H on here is going to create a massive search amongst all the old Fab and Glam threads I can't say I've ever really had a conversation with a bloke on here. I've spoken to Postingatlast and Uniqietdad and Toughdaddy but thats about it I think. You will have to CAT us and let us know who you are

TimeForMe · 20/06/2008 17:58

Not that it really matters who you were before

unhappychick · 20/06/2008 18:19

oh sorry, I didn't mean on these threads, just on MN in general.

Paddlechick666 · 20/06/2008 18:56

just cleaned the bathroom with babywipes!
will do same in kitchen tomorrow

got a viewing tomorrow so needs to be spick and span. everything else gets rammed into the cupboards of which i have many - thank god!

feeling slighty better altho utterly shattered.

macdoodle · 20/06/2008 19:38

I am not sure how you guys view this but I sometimes (a lot??) wish that H had actually ended up with the OW - as somehow that would have justified all the shit he threw my way - as if it would have somehow been worth it if he really did love her and want to be with her - as if he didn't throw our hard worked for life and future away just for a shag
I know thats what she wanted whay she so desperately wanted to win and got pregnant thinking thats what he wanted as well....
It would have allowed me some closure and ability to move on....
Oh I don't know excuse the ramblings of a very tired brain - horrid busy 10 hours straight off work (had to squeeze in expressing between patients and even though I told the staff NO INTERRUPTIONS unless someone seriously was dying and locked my door they still managed to ring me 5 times in 20mins )....
Baby was inconsolable at CM (she never ever cries with me ) so much so that she rang H to get her early he then rang me every 20mins to see when I was coming home (not the kind of job that I can just leave especially when I am duty doc)....Rushed home (leaving all the scripts and paperwork so will have to go in at weekend for a few hours) to discover she had gone to sleep .....think it is teeth she has woken grumpy gave calpol wash and nice cuddle and BF and settled her back down....time for pizza (and wine) for me and DD1 {tired smile}

McD ((hugs)) poor you sounds like a tough day. Can't believe the child minder rung. It must make h feel pretty useless at times like that as he should be able to settle her. Let's hope it gives him food or thought not that that helps you! Hope the wine helps!

Pc hope the viewing goes well tom. Glad you feeling a bit better am sure you will be fine by Mon!

Baffy sounds nice , we off to il's on Sunday as it MIL birthday. Tom we are just busy with football, dancing, partys etc. none of it for me although supposed to be going to a friends for girly night tom if i can be bothered

UC TFM speaks such a lot of sense. Maybe he does want to come back but doesn't know how to ask. I think if you go on Thursday then but let him do the talking and keep yourself together (easier said than done i know from personal experience) Either way at leastyou will know and we will be here for you whatever!

TFM wow you are like the cog that keeps this place ticking over In the words of Tractor Tom 'what would we do without you' courtesy of ds watching it 10 times a day

Dior am sure come Monday you will be looking forward to a nice day at home. Although haveto admit Jeremy Kyle is pure car crash tv , but i do have to admit to having it on whilst i clear up

HW have a lovely day at Ascot and at the no knickers comment! Beats Bridget Jones anyway!

to everyone else hope you have nice weekend!

ladythrush · 20/06/2008 21:48

Paddlechick - hope you feel better soon and good luck with the viewings.
MacD - awful day Must be almost impossible to express at the surgery.
HW - had a giggle at the no knickers
UC - TFM could be on to something with that hunch of hers
It was ds bday today. His party is tomorrow. Today was just a family day out but he had a great day

Hi Girls Just popping in to wish you all a lovely weekend. IT's raining here so no gardening for me. Off to cheer up P's gran instead

MacD stay strong and keep your chin up. What you are going through is perfectly normal. It is exhausting though so you are bound to be tired what with work and everything.

Dior, Well Done! You came up with a positive and it's great! You didn't take H's critism to heart you have just thrown it right back at him, not literally of course keep up the good work!

PC Good luck with the viewing. I will be thinking of you.
Infact, you can be sure I wil be thinking of you all!!

Well, guess what happened in this house last night! NO, not that! P asked me if I wanted to get married. He didn't actually propose he just asked the question. Of course I said "no thank you" (i'm not that daft or naieve!) but the fact that he asked is a major thing considering he has never ever wanted to get married after seeing what divorce did to his family.
Anyway, it's me who doesn't want to get married now. Why go to prison for life when you can be out on parole!

Lots of love xxx

ladythrush · 21/06/2008 10:05

Fantastic news TFM - nice to feel wanted What was his reaction when you said no?

Dior - let him moan. It seems to be his hobby

TimeForMe · 21/06/2008 13:00

Hi LL, he was a bit quiet but it didn't stop him keep mentioning it. I won't marry him, things are fine just as they are. Plus, I can't help this little niggly feeling that this may be his way of trying to 'get' me, control me IYSWIM. It's taken a lot of hard work, sweat and tears for me to get to this stage with him. I'm not going to risk undoing all that hard work. Plus, I am very happy as I am. I like being not married

It is a turn up Dior I already have the big diamond though, he gave me that a few years ago, a non engagement ring Might ask him for a dishwasher instead, mine is broken, not quite so romantic but the pots will be gleaming!

You go for it Dior, get yourself into town and treat yourself. It's absolutely pouring it down here so I still can't get into the garden. Have a lovely afternoon with your crafting

hey mac, check this www.mumsnet.com/Talk/7/552796 for a big up to you!

as for me, i have had a fantastic day out with dd and a friend and her ds at a local farm. we had a great great time.

personally i am actually feeling so ill i am shaky and wobbly and my eyes are all over the place. just ordered a takeaway altho i feel hungry i also feel sick.

jeez but even my fingers feel weird!

2 more sleeps till holidays and H is now on ABs too for an infection! told him earlier it better get better quicksmart coz i need a break and he is going to be in the chair with dd next week!

TFM, good on you! fabulous that he's asked and even more fabulous that you're not falling over yourself to say yes adn that you're perfectly happy as you are.

of course, if you want to say yes at a future date when you're more secure that he is not attempting to control you then i will be buying hat.

god i feel strange...........

macdoodle · 21/06/2008 20:57
