Do you want a laugh

Just had to share today's nugget....

Now I'm not too sure whether I've already mentioned that I am quite active at my local church....well I am.

So it came as a bit of a surprise today when his nibs emailed to say would it be OK if we all went to church together this coming weekend?

How do you respond to that. On the one hand, NO WAY, WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU ARE SUGGESTING.

On the other hand, it is a place to go if you've been naughty.

So how did I respond?

Well, I would find tat pretty hard and there are a number of other churches in the town....but I can't stop you.

Reaction - I guess it would be a bit odd.

It's worth pointing out at this point that the vicar and close friends from the church have been icredibly supportive of myself and the girls and I have no idea how they would respond.

It plods on....

Hi and welcome to today's chapter.

After much excitement from my girls at the thought of seeing their daddy....he was in a bit of a strop when he arrived as yes, the locks have been changed.

Did I realise he has every right to be able to break into his own house? Just try sunshine. Just try.

As he has no cash he'd asked if I could prepare a picnic for their day out....so the girls and I had it all ready for when he arrived.

Off they went to the zoo, but not before I was asked exactly what I was going to do with my 'day off'.....supermarket, cleaning, you know the usual weekend chores that most of us have to do.

So 6 hours later, back they arrive. 'They need something for their tea' I was told....'and by the way. I think you are deranged and mentally unstable. You are hostile towards me and I don't deserve it. My solicitor has told me I can introduce the girls to my new girlfriend any time I like.......

You get the idea of the tone?

So he decides it's time to go and a very upset little girl starts to cry.....'Don't worry' he says 'I'm going to be alright. You don't need to cry for me' Me thinks he got the wrong end of the stick here.

I ask you

OK so what has been happening over the last couple of days.....well are you ready for this?

Yesterday I sat at my desk in corporate land and up popped an message from the email police. Can you imagine how it felt when I realised that they were holding a dodgy email....from his girlfriend!

This I had to see.

'Please Mr Email policeman, could you release this little email for me?' I asked.

And ping....2 minutes later there is was.

Let's just remember this is a very young lady who in all honesty probably didn't expect messing about with a married chap would result in him moving in with all his baggage.

It was full of woe. She was so sorry and they were finding that they are not blissfully happy....and this poor man is so upset and crys at night for what he has lost....

And so it went on.

Now call me heartless...though I don't think I am....but all I could do was to reaspond by saying she has got what she wanted...what was her problem?

So after this little trick did not create a massive amount of reaction the poor chap had to resort to a new tactic.....

He decided to tell me that this young lady has not been his first 'wifelette', there have be 17 of them over the course of our marriage. Well, knock me down with a feather! Or something like that.

Thi remember is the same guy who wanted to come back just 5 short days ago. Girls I can hear you screaming at your screens! Don't worry, he will not be coming back here.

So what has today brought.

He was in the house today, having breakfast and doing their washing. But the locks have now been changed. He was warned in a letter from the solicitors yesterday and by all accounts the petition should drop through his letter box over the next couple of days.

It's sad, I feel very let down and it really has made me wonder what on earth I was married to.

But hey, pick yourself up. Dust yourself down. Hold your head up high. Smile and greet the world.

Oh and I forgot the best bit.....

The dear lady is finding it hard to deal with what she has done. She's been in tears over it.

And he wanted me to feel sorry for her. I do but not for the reasons he thought.

Yes having an affair is disruptive and getting together with someone in that sort of situation is fraught with danger. Expecting your ex to feel sorry when your new lady is finding it hard to come to terms with well....what would you do?

Laugh out loud!!!

So where did we get to....

Well let's bring you up to date with the latest

Last night a tired and emotional 40 something was feeling very sorry for himself. You see it's hard being adored all the time by a 20 something. Whe he's wanting to play the woe is me thing.....she wants to hang off him...quite literally.

So all that attention and adoration is turning into being smothered.

He wanted to come back. NO WAY!!!! Yes I still care about the old boy but come on, who in their right mind would take back a cheat who within a week of moving in with his new lady has decided he might have made a mistake. You don't say?

To say nothing of the fact there is still no job...no cash and it's hard to go out and have a good time when you're skint. Especially as you had previously been dipping into the joint account to finance a couple of weeks of staying in hotels...eating out and showing your new lady a good time.

A good friend of mine advised me to look at this whole situation from the outside in....to realise just how silly and funny it really is....sad but it's true. Even Easternders would be hard pressed to find such a daft situation.

So the story so far...it's not unusual but hey it may just make you laugh....cry....or give you a reason to think about what's going on in your world.

Two months ago my husband of 7 yrs met a young lady....and I mean young...he could actually be her dad. Now I need to explain here that we're in our 40's have two small children and for the last 6 yrs I've been running my own, moderately successful business.

You see he needed to be adored! Yep adored. Now when you're dealing with the day to day life of running a home, a business, doing the school run, the reading practice and ..... well I guess adoration was not exactly on the cards. Love? Yes. Respect? Yes. Trust? You bet.

So imagine the shock to being told that you are no longer required. Gutting? Maybe.....but this old thing (by the way I'm 41) is made of tougher stuff.

My friends have suggested that I start a blog - it's either that or draft a story line for one of the soaps.

Where do I start? At the beginning.

Over the last few years hubby has not been able to hold down a job for more than 6 months at a time. Money has not been an issue thanks to the work that I have been doing....his spending that money has also come quite naturally.

So picture the situation......bolt from the blue....."I love the kids but I'm not too sure about you anymore"

"OK, can you explain?"

A week later and several unexplained nights away from home.....

"I've fallen in love" - let's face it, it could happen to any of us - "the hill of guilt I feel about what I am doing to you is far outweighed by the mountain of love I feel for my new lady"

Fall over pick yourself up and move on darling....that's hurtful.
