Please don't feel that you have to post on mine

Well H didn't come round to see his son today. He never even phoned to say he's coming over! Remember how miserable he was on Thursday? When I asked him if he was seeing his son on Sunday, he said he doesn't know what he's doing yet and he'll let me know. I didn't text like I normally would, I felt as if I didn't want to see him anyway because of his mood. My son's been acting up lately and he won't tell me what's wrong. I suspect it may be because he's not seen his dad again.
Anyway it was good day - eating as usual! lol. We went to Church in the morning and then my friend invited us around for Sunday lunch. We went home for about an hour or so and then we went to a Harvest Tea where there was more food! Saturday was just as bad, we had a meal out at lunchtime and then we ordered a pizza in for tea
I spend all week dieting and then put it back on at the weekend, lol. Next weekend will be more of the same - I'm taking my son and his friend out for a birthday treat to the cinema and on Sunday we're meeting my mum for dinner. I'm expecting my mum to say "you've both put on weight!". Grrrrr. What can I say? We love our food

TTD, good job not texting. Hope the movie was fun. What did you see? W and I saw Gravity - that was a suspensful thrill ride! Do the theaters (theatres?) in the UK charge so much at the concession stand you need to apply for financing to get snacks?! That's how it works here.

I agree with MH - good job not texting.

Canada's the same MH - financing needed to buy from the concession. Sneaking your own food in is much easier at the drive-in, but our local one will soon be closing for the season. Large pockets in jackets helps in the winter but it's really hard sneaking much more than a chocolate bar or small bag of sweets into the cinema in a purse .

We're going to the cinema next Saturday, we're off to see Justin and the knights of valour We have the same problem over here with snacks, drinks, etc. I always take popcorn and drinks in a zipped up bag as well as my handbag. They never ask to look inside Some people seem to take loads in there, they pack a picnic, lol.
I've been to college this morning, feeling down again. I've picked up now I've got home though Still not heard from H and I think that's why I was feeling down. One of the girls in my class was being a bit bossy today and telling me to do something that I didn't want to do. Too complicated to explain what it was, but she said I needed more practice on my level 2 beauty treatments. I snapped back at her and told her not to be so critical. She says she wasn't being, I think it was just because I was over sensitive this morning.
I've got some post of H's that he's going to need. He should've changed his address, so it's not really my problem. I know he's going to have a go at me though and I think that was another reason I was feeling low. If he'd turned up when he was supposed to, then he would've got his mail by now!

Oh TTD, I still attach my feelings to how my H responds or not, something I am working on too. You just want them to be happy. I am getting better at being happy just for me and not base it off of how I think he is feeling. Hard though. And yes it does come out at other people too. I snapped at my dog, who had done nothing, and I felt terrible because I knew it wasn't his fault, just my tension coming out.

When my S and I went to a movie the other day, I gave him $20 to go get something to eat. He came back with $13 and a small bag of popcorn. 7 dollars for a bag of popcorn! SHEESH. It's crazy, and yet people still keep buying that cruddy food!

You are getting stronger, I can see it in your posts. Hang in there!

Thanks PM I needed that motivational boost What you don't need is people joking around saying you're going to electrocute someone with that piece of equipment!
Trouble is it is the same girl that said I'm better off without my H and was having a go at him. She doesn't seem to understand how sensitive I am at the mo. When I mentioned I needed my meds up, she said oh you would use that as an excuse!
I've got an appt with the mentor at the college, but I'm not seeing her for a couple of weeks.
Anyway I'm getting down again now Hopefully the bible study tonight will pick me up again

Hopefully it's something important LOL - oops sorry that was a bit evil

I actually played nice yesterday and filled in the tax agency forms for his address change, banking change and marital status change, and I wrote out the envelopes for him as well. That was the last of the address changes he really needed to do. The only other mail he's been getting is just junk - and that I've started marking "Return to sender - no longer at this address".

Ugh, I hate people like that, that can show no empathy.

Years ago, I once had a woman call me into the office, because she could see I was having a rough day and the first thing out of her mouth was "Your problems can't possibly be worse than mine or anyone else's". I was in shock and the only thing I could do was stare at her. She then proceeded to tell me all SHE had been through. She wanted no one to be unhappy unless it was her. It was very odd. And I still remember that clearly to this day because I had my first taste of someone who has no empathy for others. Personally, I would not talk to this girl about anything personal as she really has no capacity for it. Just DB with her and put on a happy face!

Pud is right. This woman is the perfect opportunity for you to practice your DBing.

There's always going to be someone who has to be the centre of it all, who's always right, etc, etc. We've got one here at our office and if there's only one of us going for lunch none of us will ask her if she's coming for lunch. We'll only do that if all the ladies are going for lunch at the same time. She's the type of person that will argue the silliest of things just to argue, or will only see the negative side of everything.
