ALL NEW Road to Recovery for the Recently Ditched No. 4

[IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt]

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

And Pink, haven't heard from you for a while. How are things?

Nice song, hadn't heard it in ages!

I'll substitute the meaning for my DCs as I'm glad I spent it with them

Hope your DS gets well soon Happy.

Chairman, how are you today?

Where is Pink and Maybee's? Be good to hear how everyone is.

Waves to all. Happy thanks for the song (love that song), got inspired watching the video & pulled out dd's new roller blades. Have just been whizzing around the kitchen & up & down the hall. Muscles are wrecked but feel slightly exhilarated. Happy, hope your ds is ok now.

Went to the park with dc's & had a picnic. Weather lovely today.

Did a bit of retail therapy on the way home & believe this or not, I'd a top in my hand & I thought of Pink's wise words. Was standing there with top in hand (truthfully it was 3 tops), asking myself as Pink had suggested "do you really need these??" After much debate I said "shag it, I may not need them but I certainly deserve them". Marched to checkout triumphantly picking up underwear, a bra & 4 lovely hair clips on way. Only to get everything checked in (had loads of stuff for dc's aswell) & realised I'd no money, card was rejected & emergency card's pin was at home! Again thought of Pink & said this is faith, there is a message here, you do not need this stuff! Decided "screw faith" & would try to beat the clock & make a mad dash home for cash & try to make it back to shop before closing time. Had to admit defeat by time I made it home & there was no way I could make it back in time. Am now trying to figure out if it's insane to go back again tomorrow (stuff will have been put back on shelves so will have to start all over again)!

Hi all

Glad the song went down ok

I guess, thinking about it that being DJHappy I am only one step away from being a rock chick anyway.

Whatever happens, guitar man or no guitar man, music will feature in my Happy plans for the future . Rather oddly, my mind is wandering towards dressing up to nines for next lesson, extra practice to ensure perfection and then throwing self at teacher. Obviously the lack of action is sending me a bit as I'm not actually sure I even fancy him.

Tea, you're sounding much more perky nowadays.

Starting, glad picnic was good. Shame on the clothes. Re: going back to shop ... you must do whatever gives you the most serenity.

DS a bit better but not totally .

Am ensuring personal serenity this evening by playing music, burning oil (lavender) and baking cake.

Happy, I think you'd be a great rock chick!

It's better to practice your flirtation skills on someone you don't overly fancy. That way it can't go wrong .

Sending you hugs re ds, hopefully it'll pass soon. Music, lavender & cake sound great.

Good advice as always Starting

But I need to be sure not to lose my teacher also so asking to have my guitar lesson in my bedroom could be a mistake

When he comes next week I will give him a proper look - decide what I think and see if he looks up for it ~(did I just really say that?)

If I feel like giving him a positive signal any ideas on what to do...

(could be fun listening to your suggestions even if I don't follow them)

Oh Happy I could kiss you, I am pmsl at "decide what I think and see if he looks up for it ~(did I just really say that?)". You have just given me a great belly laugh & I'd just gone on a downer as had spotted the bloody viagra thread! Exh went down this road & no I was not the benefactor ! That laugh just pushed me out of my temporary depression!

I'm prob not the greatest to be asking for suggestions as with MD "I basically just sent him a text asking did he fancy a sh*g" . Would not suggest this route! Being a dumpling has made me loose all previous inhibitions, morals, standards etc..

However, would suggest just being yourself & maybe offering him a cup of tea & a slice of you lovely homemade cake afterwards.

That's made me smile apart from the exh bit

OK so you were pretty direct then on the MD front. I'm half inclined to do that if I get the urge (wtf I do have the urge hugely but just not sure that the urge is for him) but equally I am not sure I wouldn't then start something I couldn't complete as I am a large coward and scared dumpling underneath.

Funny you should mention the tea and cake, I offered him that last week . I thought that was just me being friendly.

Is someone who looks about 10 years younger a good idea btw - or actually just a very good idea?

Problem is I'm just too much of a romantic you see

me and my man

Someone who looks 10yrs younger is a v v good idea, MD was younger. This is what I'll be looking for, no more old fogies for me (exh was nearly 20yrs older!). Your sex deprived desires will make sure you complete the task if you do indeed decide to head in that direction. If you're not interested in a relationship then really you need only concern yourself with his body . Unless of course he turns out like MD & has a mammy tattoo that you can't see somewhere on his body & has an irritating habit of saying "this is nice" repeatedly . If that turns out to be the case take what's on offer & then run for the hills & chalk it up to experience. Then of course post all the gorey details on here to entertain the rest of us .

I don't know why but ROFL at "head in that direction"

Did he not turn out to be batting for the other side??

Just need to be careful if I do go in that direction as I need my lessons.

But he's always been a good teacher

Who?

Sorry bit slow - no I think he's happily married now

at "head in that direction". What's going to happen now is that you'll be mid lesson & think of that & start to & !

Ok my mistake, thought it was JD in video & that he'd later gone the other way!

Was not in any way referring to your music teacher !

OMG I will email you now - just found something to show you

You're right on the mid lesson bit

I always used to wonder about you thinking about our comments when you were mid MD thing also - I would have laughed if I was you

It did happen a few times & I started pmsl & had to invent other reasons...........

Well that's given me lots to think about thanks Starting

I think us girls need to focus on

• all tradesmen
• music teachers

and any other ideas?

Morning all.

I was feeling much better yesterday but between my waking and DS I've had a rubbish sleep and am grumpy again. Starting a serious campaign to get DS to drop his nap and get back in his own bed as I am disturbing his sleep! H has offered to hve DS more but I'm not sure that's the best thing for him right now.

Really glad to see people seeming cheery though - I'll get to that point one day!

At least I have friends coming round to play today - me and DS made a lovely cake yesterday for them - and I might try to nap while DS is at nursery.

Found a really good fairy shop and I'm getting into crystals,any other dumplings know their rose quartz from their yellow calcite.
Thinking about having a reiki treatment done to energise my energies.
For anyone feeling low try a Disney marathon ...fuck the expense ...order now...101 dalmations...jungle book...the aristocats...lion king ...the rescuers...whatever happens they can never take our Disney ....away to find Thomas O Malley Cat x

Hope you're feeling ok this evening Chair

Glad to see you back Maybees - definitely go for the Reiki and do please report back

And by the way, I have been practicing my music this evening so I can put on a good show for music man.
