[startingovernow]

Dearly Be-Chucked, we are gathered here today because, for whatever reason, our man has dumped us!

and we need to rant!

Dumplings, it's done, our new thread for ramblings, moaning, ranting, sharing positivity etc.........

Waves to all........

Yes Chairmum, we certainly have plenty to rant about........... Welcome aboard!

would I be welcome if I was thinking of becoming a chuck-er
I have an impeccable chuckee record btw

Hi Ninah, welcome aboard. You are indeed more than welcome. In fact by the letter of the law I was the chucker too however the reality was that I was given no choice due to exh's twuntish behaviour .

Ifyourhappy, hope you can relax now............ The show must go on, beauty or no beauty! Beauty, maybe you'll join our ranks once more & regale us with stories of womaniser etc .

Thank goodness, all is well now , .

Looks like we're off to a good start. Let the baking, lambing and sh**ing commence.

And thanks Starting for getting it rolling.

Welcome Ninah

And Chairmum, sounds like a bl nightmare. Tomorrow will be a better day. And remember if you can get through the kind of cr happening today you can get through anything!

Miaow how's it going? Did you find the icecream?

Can I crash too? I'm a chuck-er. But in a "Given no other bloody choice" kind of a way!

Hi to everyone searching for their fabulosity again!
I was chucked last September by my husband of 19 years and wow did that hurt, but, I'm getting more awesome by the day (you betcha) and trying to find me again, not the old one but the new, uber experienced shiny one!
Can I join??!

Hi Ifyourhappy, thought new thread would be well under way today.........obviously people are nearing recovery .

Welcome aboard Youknownothing, there's quite a few chuckers (or dumpers/dumplings) "Given no other bloody choice", so you'll be quite at home...........

baking, lambing and shagging? is this the Masonic thread?
Btw I haven't chucked yet, still in the heaving stage

Hi Wendynut, welcome aboard. Would love to hear all your secrets about regaining your fabulosity.........

Thanks all.

I did find the ice cream, and the tea helped too. Its done now and even if I have to run the damned thing over a bit more tomorrow I will have help. I just had all these lovely plans which have been spoiled. At least its not as bad as it could have been. I had visions of a huge plumbing bill and a new carpet, but it looks like that has been avoided.

I've relaxed again now and hope to take the opportunity to get through some cleaning and stuff tomorrow, even if jobs have been added to my list.

And on sunday, we're going out for lunch if I can remember to book somewhere!

Oh and I'm a chucker too technically, even though H gave up long before I kicked him out.

Ninah, shopping? ?? I don't know WHAT you mean.

cleaning and stuff? this is a fly thread - eek

I did a clever thing with my name.... (self satisfied )

Its a "do what you need to do to feel in control of your life" thread

and shopping
maybe I should just, er, swallow

Must step away from online shopping!

I think the urge to clean is long gone. In fact, the house is a hell of a lot easier to keep clean with just the 3 DCs making a mess. I always thought H helped out a lot, but now I can't quite figure out how

Well, YOuKnowNothing.. was just the bins, the lawn and a bit of cooking in my house - the cleaning word was not understood.

crunch - I found myself putting down the 4 books for a fiver I picked out for DS in a cheap shop the other day because I was worried about money, so no online shopping for me We will have enough money, but I'm used to being able to buy things when I've wanted them, within reason.

We split up the savings (well I divided them fairly according to our needs) and there was enough left for the couple of new baby things I need and a little bit left over. I suspect that little bit will now be gone on the carpet cleaner and the plumber. oh well!

Miaow, once you're more settled and you know where you are financially then you'll feel better. There's always additional costs at the worst times! My cooker packed up this week! I think plumbing and appliances sense the tension and just explode so we can get angry with them and let some of it out.

I even cried over spilt milk one morning. It was of course followed by hysterical giggles at the daftness of it all and left me feeling a lot better.

IfYou'rehappyandyouknowit it's funny how little you can miss the practical things (except the bins, why are men so unwilling to do the washing up but will do the bins?! They make no sense at all!)

I felt good doing the bins this week, particularly when H checked if I'd done them!

I have my reminders for them set up, so they won't get missed. (Plus normally I won't have DS on the night I have to put the bins out so there won't be so much of a rush)
