After The Flood on ITV1 sees Peaky Blinders star Sophie Rundle (https://www.whattowatch.com/news/after-the-flood-star-sophie-rundle-wasnt-sure-about-working-with-real-life-partner) take on the role of an obsessed cop in a town torn apart by the effects of a shocking environmental disaster.

Yes that little detail is why I dont like seeing hanging. Almost gives me flashbacks to the day I found him almost 13yrs ago

But time goes on. And as you know I met dh no 2 almost a year later

Actually our anniversary yesterday. 12yrs and mini blondes is the icing on the cake as I say 💕

Congratulations on your anniversary @Blondeshavemorefun

I didn't really know your back story and didn't like to ask when I saw a scant mention. My heart goes out to you and I'm so pleased you've found happiness.

butterpuffed · 27/01/2024 15:44

So pleased your life took a turn for the better @Blondeshavemorefun . Congrats on your anniversary 🍷

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/01/2024 16:04

It's not a secret. I did post about it on mn at the time

Basically was with dh no 1 from 1992 - 2011 so almost 20yrs. He suffered from depression. And on antids but life was ok afaik.

Had some bleak days but equally very happy days and a good life - went to work and holidays and saw friends etx and was ttc but due to unexplained infertility was on list for nhs ivf

One day came home after staying with a friend for the night and found dh dead. He has hung his self

He left a note saying couldn't cope any more with the darkness

My whole world collapsed and heart shattered into a million pieces

Was a terrible time and even now some dates /memories /songs etx get me

But equally time really does help and after counselling I got my head round , if that's the right word and accepted it was his choice

2w lafter he died was told at top of nhs list for ivf and our turn. Another double blow

9mths later I met out of the blue my now dh 2 via friend on Fb

Wasn't even thinking about looking for love and had some serious cold feet but went to oz and missed him so said we wouid take it slowly

We are so not each toner types and totally chalk and cheese but seem to work. He had 3 kids all almost in 20's but agreed ttc

I told him wouid need to be ivf but as he has kids 'lost' my nhs go

Got engaged 2yrs later but we decided ivf was more important then a wedding

So went privately. Mini blondes took
5 attempts and a lot of money lol and is my world

Planned to get married in May 2020 but covid lockdown cancelled that. Same with May 2021 but got a cancellation and finally tied the knot July 2021 and mini blondes was bridesmaid

Been together 12yrs. Mini blondes is nearly 7 and married 3yrs this summer

Life goes on. It has to.

I feel lucky that I met and loved two wonder men. Many don't even find one

But I still don't like hanging scenes

That was a lot of woffle lol. Bet you wish you never asked now

So pleased for you, Blondes.

LadyEloise1 · 28/01/2024 00:13

@Blondeshavemorefun I'm so glad that life got better for you. 💐

colouringindoors · 28/01/2024 01:09

Well it did improve a lot... but was still fairly crap 😅 I liked the relationship between the copper and the French woman. I don't think any of the nen came out of it well though! Ending was OK.

colouringindoors · 28/01/2024 01:13

oh Blondes 💐
My BIL died by hanging too...

So pleased to hear of your dh and miniB.

Sorry to hear of your bil

Was it your sister dh

Or your dh brother

Not that it makes any huge difference

I haven't seen ending as I'm still on tv pace

Was my husband's brother, but I'm close with my SIL and the circumstances of her finding him, and the loss by suicide have been devastating

They can be. If she is on Fb tell her to look up a suicide group if she is interested. Solely for partners 💐

Just seen episode 3.

That baby shower scene was so awkward. Poor jo.

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/01/2024 23:07

Sorry for the derail

Yes the shower scene was hard bless her

She didn't want but tho m she does really

I still find it's amazing that the hero knew the dead man in lift

I'm assuming someone who saves babies - fake ones 😂 - wouldn't kill and he looked stunned to hear of his death so I don't think it's him

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/01/2024 13:27

E4 tonight

Sky tv guide mark it as

Captivating mystery thriller

Well I think it is 😁

So who do we think killed Chris the caretaker

duc748 · 01/02/2024 00:48

He didn't sound too suicidal when he left that cheerful voicemail message, did he? Well at least tonight I learnt what a swale is.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 01/02/2024 07:32

just started this last night.
who would want to be married to a policeman like she is, controlling

duc748 · 01/02/2024 11:11

He seems dodgy AF, too.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/02/2024 14:52

Dh is convinced her dh is dodgy

I hope not

butterpuffed · 02/02/2024 16:13

I think he might be dodgy too , he keeps giving surreptici surreptish secretive looks .

duc748 · 02/02/2024 16:19

And he deleted that stuff off her phone!

duc748 · 02/02/2024 16:19

It might all be a bait and switch, though.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/02/2024 16:23

duc748 · 02/02/2024 16:19

And he deleted that stuff off her phone!

Or is he protecting her so doesn't get her arse fired

i have seen two episodes, only because it was recommended here and in the Guardian, although initially i thought it was the thing with Jodie Comer
but that is a film

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/02/2024 14:52

Dh is convinced her dh is dodgy

I hope not

Yes I think he might be.
Could he be William Blaine - I think that was the name of the mystery man
A silent partner.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/02/2024 15:32

Oh. That's a good thought @LadyEloise1

N one can seem to find him

But really Hope hobby isn't dirty esp as she is preg
