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

Morning all...

Maybees, the link goes to the right page I think but I can't then play the song - think that's probably this computer playing up again though

Successful morning so far, eggs purchased, one DC sorted, one to go......

2nd try at an evening out this evening (with more reliable friend this time )

Scorps, how did it go? xx

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 03/04/2010 12:49

Forgot to say ... reading a book with some good quotes in it.

I will give you a couple...

"You can't talk yourself out of a problem you've behaved yourself into"

"You can behave yourself out of a problem you've behaved yourself into - and often quicker than you think"

(Easter thoughts of the day )

startingovernow · 03/04/2010 13:53

Hi Happy, love the quotes, keep them coming.........

Hope you have a nice night out tonight.

Hope you got yourself an easter egg too .

Ok, back to cleaning

OP posts:
ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 03/04/2010 15:46

starting - Thanks for that, made me smile

I've been pilfering things from the office today and abusing the printer there while pretending to be working, and now I'm home I'm at the cleaning too, although I think I may have overdone it again as I have an achey bump

Looking forward to next weekend where I am going to do absolutely no cleaning

pinksmarties · 03/04/2010 21:42

Here's a quote I read the other day and can't get out of my head.

"A friend will pass you the shovel,
a GOOD friend will help you bury the body"

Think I've got an unhealthy obsession with that quote.

I wonder why......???

startingovernow · 03/04/2010 22:55

Hi Chairmum, I was brutal for frantic/manic/obsessive cleaning fits during pg's too. Have a hot bath.

Hi Pink, love the quote. Don't think I've too many who would help bury the body at the moment so will have to work on that......

Well, all went well with dc's again today. They got ice-cream, sweets, toys, credit x mobile & pocket money. Tomorrow they're off to amusement park. This from the same man who hadn't enough to pay maintenance!

Made a bit of a blunder though, dd came back with a beautiful flower arrangement in a basket & I could see an envelope with his writing in her other hand. I said who are the flowers for? She said who do you think & without thinking I said did daddy send the flowers for me . Don't know what possessed me to think he'd actually send me flowers . Luckily she just laughed & said daddy would hardly be sending YOU flowers! (so so true!). They were for her & envelope which I though might contain letter of apology was pocket money! Would be way way too late for apologies anyway so just as well really.

Yet again he promised to take them to a show mid week IF mummy said it was ok. What a twat. In court case last week I'd suggested that one afternoon mid week would be more suitable than two consecutive days at weekend. He protested that he'd be too busy to take time off. This is only second wk of access & already he's looked for them mid wk last wk & now mid wk this wk aswell.

Anyway I'd posted last wk that I got a sol letter saying that he wouldn't take them at 12 instead of 1 on Sun (for no other reason than it would suit me). When person who does the dropping & collecting today said I'll see you tomorrow before 1, I just said I think you must be mistaken the time is meant to be 12. They just said fine & heard nothing since so all looking good. Hopefully exh has realised if he's going to be such a twat it's going to backfire on him with dc's.

Glad it went well 2day x

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 03/04/2010 23:58

Hi ladies, liking the quotes

Glad all ok Starting,crossed fingers tomorrow is ok too

How are you tonight Maybees?

Had a good night out tonight. Lots of sobbing this week. Think if I cry til Tuesday I should be ok for the rest of the week .

Wishing you all a Happy Happy Easter day too.

maybees · 04/04/2010 00:11

I'm fine Happy, just a bit mixed up but not as worried as the start of the week .Going to try and go to Alanon meeting this week always feel more grounded afterwards.
Doing an egg hunt with the kids 2morrow so out and about in the freshest of air.
Happy Easter everyone x

maybees · 04/04/2010 00:20

Sobbing is a good word.I think sobbing is what I do when I read something that I can identify with and makes me realise the extent of the disaster I am in .

Other areas of my life are not on the scale of disaster,but my marriage IS.

At least after reading mn I have a better understanding of why it happened.

Much happierbunny since H has left.x

pinksmarties · 04/04/2010 00:44

Starting, I'll help you bury it.

Happy, I hope you don't cry till tuesday.

Are virtual eggs less fattening ? Maybe I should stick to them in future, and virtual peanut butter, chocolate rice crispie cakes, toasted cheese sandwiches...............

Happy Easter Dumplings.....see you soon !!!!What fun we'll have.

maybees · 04/04/2010 00:46

Thankyou Happy !
Could quite easily to any of the above so life is not such a disaster after all ....

maybees · 04/04/2010 00:47

Going to bed with wet hair again... not good

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 04/04/2010 01:05

Maybees - please always dry hair after coming in from mountain...

Pink - it's ok, today I had a really nice cry - I quite enjoyed it - not often the case but this was cathartic

teaandcakeplease · 04/04/2010 09:35

Happy Easter ladies from me to you all x

Off to church shortly, hope you all have a lovely day. Chin up tits out

pinksmarties · 04/04/2010 11:21

esmile]

DCs still asleep,

nice quiet house,

going to do a roast now,

I feel SO lucky to have my lovely DC.

I'm going to be a lovely mummy bunny today and not a sad dumpling.

Bought myself pink roses.....lovely. x

Happy Easter. x

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 04/04/2010 12:01

pink - flowers sound like a very good idea. Might treat myself next week

Operation house is continuing here too starting - I got my carpet back last night so have been crazily decluttering and rearranging shelves and stuff. Very theraputic. I wonder if I would have been doing it if H were here, and I doubt it, but I'm not sure why.

DS has been enjoying have a safe space to play too, and has been occupying himself really well today, which has been helping.

Hope everyone's having a more exciting easter weekend than me though!

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 04/04/2010 12:41

Hi Chairmum

You will be delighted to know that so far I have.....

woken up to cat sick

had grumpy exchange with DC who has "gone back to bed"

have nice chat with Dumpling who will remain anonymous re meet up

Will get dressed soon xx

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 04/04/2010 12:53

Happy - sounds like me on an average Monday. I really struggle with mondays for some reason!

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 04/04/2010 12:56

Is it Sunday?

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 04/04/2010 13:01

Yes its sunday Sundays are good because they follow Saturdays - which I have a bit of peace on
