Divorcebusting.com Forums Open Forums We're separated--What Now? Slow and steady wins the race... hopefully!

Well, honestly I do put myself through some stuff sometimes! Just got a text back from h saying

'Hi, just wanted to say thank you for my present and card, it was very thoughtful. I will book a slot and treat myself. I hope you are ok. Sorry to hear about (the person that is annoying me at work)...is there a risk you'll lose the office?'

Basically she is the woman that owns the premesise where I work and it is in reference to Friday's text when we engaged in conversation and he didn't answer. Blimey it's complicated isn't it!!

I just replied saying

'Oh good, I'm pleased. Well, I think she's loaded enough to carry on regardless. Alright for some eh! :-)'

Light and not trying to engage him in anything further. I'm so pleased that he took the present in the manner in which it was sent. It was a risk but I think it's turned out alright. Phew!!

So, next time, don't knock yourself out worrying!

Here is a breakdown of the cookie recipe, with weights, pictures, and everything! Baking soda is bicarbonate of soda over there.

You are most welcome.

I know, I tried I started the day intending not to it just degenerated. It is so hard when you have been walking on eggshells for sooooooooooo long. But I am really trying hard not to and I hope that this has given me a little more confidence in my own abilities.


This may also have been where I went wrong I just used self-raising flour - opps! Maybe this is a case of improvisation not working! Thanks Jeff

you rock, I am glad that the present went over as you had planned it was very thoughtful and perfect. Good Job!!

Hey Julia!
It sounds like plain flour would be more appropriate than self rising. One place I read sounded like what we call "All Purpose" flour is about 50-50 plain and self-rising.

If you use the self rising flour, it might come out better if you don't also add the bicarb.

I know we successfully made cookies over there!

good job! seeee how much our brains can overthink things?
yay!

Hey Guys,

I'm feeling a lot better today and more relaxed. Phew!!

Thanks for everyones advice yesterday and for stopping me going down cheeseless tunnels - even if I did go down a few with myself, at least I didn't show them to my h!

(((everyone)))

(((Julia))) I am glad you are feeling better!!!

Oh my god (picks herself up off the floor!!!)

I sent a text to my h asking if he wouldn't mind going over the joint bank account on the phone tomorrow and he replied, instantly, saying yes that's fine.

Hmmm, any advice on how to proceed. Should I direct or let him take the lead. We haven't done phonecalls since he left.
