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

....something else for my left hand to do.........I am roaring laughing here on my own.........OMG you are so witty.....

teaandcakeplease · 12/04/2010 23:38

Spent the evening with a good friend and actually managed to forget about my arse of a husband. Good old chat and 1 whole bottle of wine later (and she was driving) I feel a bit squiffy.

I'll try and catch up tomorrow on thread

Chin up ............

startingovernow · 12/04/2010 23:40

I have actually tears coming down my cheeks. That was a classic, brilliant, true dumpling humour.......

maybees · 12/04/2010 23:40

Happy ..ur turn what about the photos

maybees · 12/04/2010 23:42

No seriously starting..i have a whole line of Fs with numbers at the top ....never been touched.....

teaandcakeplease · 12/04/2010 23:42

Sorry what I was trying to say is I basically drank a whole bottle on my own

Well done for links dancing maybees x

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 12/04/2010 23:44

Photos hmm - I just never used a dig camera before (went and bought one for recent trip as XH took camera!) - probably a question of reading the manual properly and getting propoer software somehow.

BTW who would have time for TV and MN?

Thinking I could maybe watch iplayer and MN at same time just about but not proppa TV

Well done Tea, you deserve to let your hair down. No need for .....

maybees · 12/04/2010 23:45

Thankyou Tea do you know what Alt Gr is?...just found another control button on the right ....gosh wot a day im having ...

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 12/04/2010 23:46

Tea - I think that is good progress

Maybees - not sure what they are for either

OP posts:
startingovernow · 12/04/2010 23:46

Maybees, don't touch the Fs!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll risk shutting down or crashing etc.....

We'll leave that tutorial for another day

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 12/04/2010 23:48

Maybees the F's are something to do with FFS?

OP posts:
maybees · 12/04/2010 23:50

Happy... dont bother with manual re camera .Do you have a memory card ?

ps re advanced link insertion ...a link is a sausage where I come from.

startingovernow · 12/04/2010 23:52

You use the Fs for emergency shutdown or restarting when something has crashed system. Tbh I'm a bit rusty on them now aswell since not using them so often......

I'll have to come back to you on the alt gr as mine is missing (dc's pulled 7 buttons off my labtop!!!!!!) and I use them automatically without thinking. Will let you know when I realise I'm using it...

startingovernow · 12/04/2010 23:55

Am still a bit distracted & laughing at something else for my left hand to do............. Can't even contemplate the whole link/sausage thing........

teaandcakeplease · 12/04/2010 23:57

No idea maybee but....this weblink says alt gr is for something I truly don't understand. Maybe tomorrow it'll make sense once sober again.

Right definitely off to bed!

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 12/04/2010 23:58

yep I do have a memory card

I did transfer the ones I sent to my PC - just didn't find it easy to compress them though as no real software to do this and can't download software onto my pc for various reasons. In the end I used microsoft word to compress then but probably not the best way methinks

OP posts:
startingovernow · 12/04/2010 23:59

Ok, if you've the same buttons as me your alt gr & home pressed together should jump to top of thread & alt gr & end to the end.

ChairmumMiaowGoingItAlone · 12/04/2010 23:59

Wow, I go out for one night and the thread's full and the new one has 34 posts already!

I can't keep up with you all.

Shauri - I can't offer any advice on the infidelity side of things (I'm very lucky in that although my H said some unpleasant things, neither of us has done anything really unforgivable so we're actually managing, with some distance, to be very amicable) but I can tell you how I'm planning to cope with all the baby stuff - I'm 31 weeks, so very close! I've got a 2yo DS too!

I've basically ditched my pride. I hate asking people for help, but I'm going to have to. So everyone that keeps offering me commiserations and asks if they can do anything to help is being told - thanks I'm ok now but can you please keep that offer on hold till the baby comes. Then I am going to take up the offers of dinner and popping round for the afternoon to help distract DS and just a shoulder to lean on. I am going to do it because I will need to stay sane! I will have support from H but I am determined to have backup in case things are difficult between us.

I'm also getting the house in order and the freezer full of home-cooked meals so DS and I can eat properly even without someone to help. Everything I can sort now, is being done. And to start with when I was really upset and in a mess, focusing on the practical stuff helped me to take my mind off the stuff that my H said to me.

I hope you can find some good advice about dealing with the cheating twunt, but try as much as you can to focus on yourself and this baby - and don't be afraid to ask for help, you will be amazed at the people who will come through for you.

Had a lovely dinner with SIL, then saw Bounty hunter at the cinema. SIL said her mum reckons she hasn't seen me so happy in a long time, and that the old me is back. Tis a bit wierd to know that something so awful has helped me to change in such a short time, but I do feel good about myself generally. I feel like the future has promise - with or without H. (I am fully prepared to feel like shit later on though, if we decide not to try again and H finds someone else - I'll be crying on mumsnet then!)

Chin up, tits out girls!

Well done Tea, I use it for the euro sign too.

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 13/04/2010 00:02

Off to bed I think

I close my eyes

(best eye candy I could find)

Chairmum, great to hear you sounding so positive. That was a really good idea to freeze dinners. Glad you had a nice night out.
