What a lovely Day

Oh Tessa how rotten for you. Could you go ahead and book that flight?

Oh, Tessa tell us where he is and we'll come round and sort him out!!!!
I do hope he comes to his senses and realises what a prat he's been. Good luck.

Dear Tessa, dump the bastard, then do all the things you listed above X X X

I made a beeline for the bathroom scales with my fingers firmly crossed. Hooray! I had reached the weight I was hoping for. I treated myself to new crime novel for my Kindle and after a low carb breakfast (it's become a habit} and a fragrant shower, I made for my favourite boutique for a dress and new trousers that would fit my new size 12 frame. Having achieved that almost painlessly, I tried on approximately 50 pairs of shoes and boots which exhausted me to the extent that I could only pass out on my recliner and enjoy some tennis on TV.

In reality, I'm hoping that this scenario will be acted out in two or three months, as the low carb diet is going very well and I already feel and look a lot better. Wish me luck.

I woke up naturally rather late after a wonderful,deep refreshing sleep. After being bought a breakfast of pan du chocolat and a freshly ground black coffee in bed I took a shower and stood before my designer size 8 capsule wardrobe and decided what to wear for the day. My handsome,wealthy and devilishly flirtatious lover led me lovingly out to our car and took me happily out for a morning of shopping, informing me that every designer outfit was a wonder on me and that he absolutely insisted on purchasing for me. We then went for lunch before coming home again for a ' rest ' and then out again for a fabulous evening at the theatre. Reality was a 256 mile round trip to a boring woodworking show going round and round for hours with an occasional weak cup of tea out of a paper cup.

Oh Tess that's truly awful. I hope there is somone to help you through this.

I would wake up after a good nights sleep and the whole of this year was just a nightmare. My husband would bring me a cup of tea and I'd count my blessings that my whole family were healthy and happy. We'd go for a long autum walk. Then meet up with my son and his family and watch the children play in a park. After dinner I'd log on to gransnet and giggle at a caustic comment from jinglebellfrocks all would be well in my little world...bliss

Yesterday I walked along the beach on Lanzarote
At 12:30 this morning we landed back in Manchester and drove home to Cumbria through the snow!!

Tessa I hope 2017 proves to be a better year for you.

Sorry to hear that Tessa. What a sickening shock for you

I'm at a dance night, the music changes and a handsome man taps me on the shoulder and asks me if he could have the pleasure of dancing this dance with me. I lovingly accept. The song playing is "Dance with my Father again", the handsome man, my lovely dad.

reality:- I can't even look at his photo just yet, the overwhelming surge of the fact he is no longer here is heartbreaking and unbelievable.

morethan Are you missing jing too? It really isn't the same without her.

Sorry to hear that Tessa. Hope you have some support. Do talk on here if it helps. (flowers)

So sorry Tessa, what a prat hope he gets his comeuppance.
I am on the glacier express going through Switzerland, elegantly attired in my designer outfit size 12 of course. About to have a light lunch with champagne and meeting Liam Neeson for dinner in Geneva.
In reality I am hoovering and washing floors ( 3 dogs ) then starting on a pile of ironing such joy.

great thread, hate to say it but I actually enjoy my life as it is (most of the time!)

Hope you are ok and have some company Tessa. Xx

I woke up early but completely refreshed and jumped in the shower. I breakfasted with DH on a yummy cooked breakfast and fresh ground coffee. After reading the Sunday papers we went for a walk in the autumn sun. Back home I settled into my cosy craft studio for the afternoon and made some amazing items which sold out on Folksy as soon as I listed them.

Reality - Dragged myself up when alarm went off. Sat downstairs with some tea waiting for my painkillers to kick in so I could get dressed! Got ready 2 hours later, shivering because the heating had gone off and winter has arrived and kicked autumn out!

Went upstairs to my craft room i.e. the spare bedroom and was unable to get to the sewing machine because of the piles of fabric and wool and 'projects' littering every square inch! Decided to tidy said room but accidentally spent 2 hours on Pinterest researching craft room storage ideas instead....
