Oh it was. I had just picked up the phone to call the police, after searching everywhere myself first, when she came riding along on her bike. I just stood in the garden, and growled at her to get in. She ran away lol.
When she finally did come in I sent her to her room because I couldn't deal with her straight away -- Lord knows I'd have throttled her!
Eventually I got the story out of her. Her friend loaned her a swim suit and paid her in... and off they both went. So I wrote a list of all the things she'd done wrong and made her think up her own punishment. She grounded herself for a month.

Probably not the best place for this but... I'm going to natter on anyway. I feel like I've known most of you girls forever. So I know you won't mind reading my prattle.
Myself and OH have split. Quite recently. An hour ago actually lol. We've been doing nothing but sniping at each other for a while now, and he tends to go overboard on things. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I told him this morning, after being referee yet again between him and the kids. I refuse to let him roar and shout at the kids and show no respect. I asked him to leave. He then went on to accuse me of having...I kid you not... a "toy boy". HAHAHA I bloody wish.
So he left. And I'm slightly relieved. I don't for a second think I'll coast through this without any hurt, but I really do think this is for the best.
There you have it. I'm currently humming and hawing about changing my facebook relationship status... do I? Don't I? I probably will. Hmmm.

Gosh the facebook relationship debate... a tricky one and removal of friends can also cause dilemmas. think well Mandy and go with your instincts x
I split with my OH of 13years and you go through a stange period of ups and downs and was not an easy time. But I had friends and family around me that made it so much easier.
I have met new guy now and getting married soon - somehow the world has a way of working out for the best! x
PS
-0.5 for me this week. Very happy as it was an odd week of working out my notice and interviews for new jobs that mostly included 'a chat over lunch'.

Having read, re read and a third time over read I think if it's a definite no chance of sorting it out then do it. And do it now. As you said yourself 'I don't for a second think I'll coast through this without any hurt' then you should probably change it while it's still fresh. People will do the comments thing and there may be some cr@p from people as always comes with things like this so rather than have any more upset say, 3 weeks down the line if you done it then, it will drag it all back up and could bring a huge lot of upset for you.
If you're feeling strong about the break up now then Facebook will be easier to deal with. But if you think that things could be resolved in the near future, don't touch it. Chin up chick and we're hear to support you if we can. Hope everything I said makes some form of sense! Xxx

It did make sense Minky! Thanks for the support girlies.
I'd love us to work things out, but to be honest, there's just so much gonig on that I feel we've no way back. I actually sat him down over the Xmas period and told him that if things don't change, we'll end up split up...and that's what happened. He's a painter/decorator, and I was the one doing the painting, he was giving me a set amount of money every week for the house, (not much) and spending the rest on himself, he watched me digging a trench in the garden around the patio the other day and never once offered to help or take over, he's constantly giving out to the kids (only the youngest is his, I had the other two with a previous partner) and I don't think it's right. He's the type of person who either sits and sulks or has a temper tantrum rather than talk things out. The only time he actually sits down to a conversation about our problems is when it's come to this stage. This is not our first split. We split two years ago for 3 months.
I just feel that he won't change. And he shouldn't have to. But neither should I. I won't walk on eggshells to avoid a tantrum. I wouldn't do that with my kids and I certainly won't do it with someone who's supposed to be my partner.
He sent me a text about an hour after he left saying he was sorry for blowing up like that...but...but...but.... I don't need someone who'll make excuses after the fact. I need someone who can deal in the moment and not blow his top. Simples

I wouldn't mind a bit of Saturday night wine, but I'm not going to let this derail me at all!
Damn those SW wees! haha. On another note, I think I'm coming down with the same sickness my baby girl has. My nose has been tingly and my throat all tickly today... hope not! I never seem to lose anything when I'm sick.

Don't be too hard on yourself Mands.......you have enough crap to deal with. Just take it easy and look after yourself xxxxx
Dieting is hard enough without life's stresses. Try not to think too much about the scales and concentrate on eating healthily and looking after yourself. Hark at me.......preaching to all when I need to take my own advice!! Sometimes wE should listen to ourselves when we try and support our friends. Guess it's easier to try and help others........perhaps it's being a mum and always putting others before ourselves. Time to be a bit selfish and give yourself some time and attention xxxxx
You know we're always here for each other through all the ups and downs and not just the lbs!!

I have had terrible munchies today but have tried desperately to stay within daily syn allowance (and have!) yet I am just ravenous. Bought some fruit this evening as I was babysitting and didnt want to tempt myself to gorge on sweets. Really was a challenge but now having a peppermint tea and to bed for me!!! Aaargh this is a journey of ups and downs but I am determined to get through and try to not get in my own way! Onwards and downwards ladies (&any gents lurking lol!)
And hugs mandy, didnt want to read and not comment. You are very brave and indeed have to do what is ultimately best for your kids and YOU x
