Aaaand s settled after a busy old evening. Home made cheeseburgers and salad, s had his bath we listened to his CDs together and watched some minecraft videos and hes settled in bed.

After an early start this morning bft and I have now headed for an early crash out this evening ahead of an expecte busy day tomorrow

We dropped off a small box of chocs on WS doorstep and s rang the bell before we drove off this evening, no card from w for me but then wasn't expecting one so ok..

Oh yes, have new neighbours. They'd been waiting for completion and finally moved in today, dropped a bottle of wine round to welcome them.

Cheeeeeese burger in a bun? With fries?

BFT advise please.

V

No fries just some salad but yes extra mature chedder cheeseeeeeeeeeeeburgers

Good morning all

And,yes,its valentine's day, so make sure you're good to you today. Those of us lucky enough to be with our kids today go and build new memories and maybe traditions (at least if I can get s up this morning ) those not spend some time and effort on loving who you are and can be.

Its not easy, were bombarded with multi million advertising campaigns and judge ourselves against where we want to be, some of us are then hard on ourselves and think we've failed, its not true, no one is an off the shelf life and nor should we be dont try to be another hallmark cutout. All our sitches are different but we all know the fear and sadness. Today don't, be happy and be confident and love those you can be with and especially yourselves.

To all my friends - and you are - here, have a great day.

Edz

Good sentiments Edz. V day is everybloomin'where. I published my plan for the day already.

OK...wait...where is my cheeseburger? Surely you would share after I shared cheesecake on my birthday. Homemade cheeseburgers are one of my very favorite meals!

Edz, I so enjoy reading your posts, as I find them very inspirational and uplifting. I like seeing a male point of view and I treasure your sense of humor that always sees the light side of things. Thanks for "being here"!

Happy Valentine's Day to you too. Treat yourself well today!

Bacon and mushrooms dawn and with chedder or Stilton? Bun toasted (steady now!)

I'm very glad I found this place, I'm not going anywhere yet

I'm sure I've seen BFT, or similar, on t'interwebs saying 'I can has cheezburger?'

(Surely you won't have to google it :-)

Good evening all

A busy one today. Made s breakfast and checked some post and mail (got voting registration etc sorted at last) and we headed out for a walk.

Not far from me as you may recall is a shopping centre which has among others a pet store plan was to get a fish for sons tank (from the garage this week). S like many other 10 year olds is not big on walking "oh my leg" "I'm tired" "can't we go in the car". Anyway we headed out and noticed the shop next door had a homewares sale on (we were looking for a duck for the bath for reasons I am unsure of right now but s seemed insistent) anyway found a great bargain on a metallic red large kitchen bin (wanted another so I can use the current for recycling). Anyway was going to leave it but s said " daddy you should do it for yourself" made me chuckle so got it and we decided to walk back drop it off and head out in the car to the bigger pet place (think s had his eye on McDonalds next door).

Off we drove and yes he had a double cheeseburger, just a shake for me before we headed for the pet store. So one guppy and new aquarium gravel bag later we headed off to pick up the adapter for the fish filter pump and back we came.

Cleaned up the tank and acclimatised the new fish to it and hes all settled in, s insisted on posting him to Facebook too so we did. So now I have bft and a black guppy under my wing in S's absence

New neighbours had parked in my space so had a word and they told me the main (shared) drain is backed up. Said I'd let the landlord know (they bought, I rent so I've passed it on).

S and I played street fighter on mame (retro games for the win) hes way too good for my liking. Anyway then got the pizza and salad sorted along with a Belgian bun each mmmm.

Had heard nothing from w on s but I hadn't contacted her, assumes a. Shed let me know if she wanted to change anything and b. She was decorating. Still felt cr@ppy she hadnt contacted me for v day but then it was also completely expected she wouldnt.

Anyway she had texted me while we had been busy and followed it up with a call to me. Shed been busy decorating as I thought. She had no issues with s wanting to stay (he'd said thats what he wanted and I was happy with this but I play slightly careful to ensure w is comfortable going forward) we had a short chat and w said why would she have any issues. Calmly said that I knew she had had issues with the whole staying over and I therefore make sure she's comfortable, that I think s and I have made wonderful progress but I still respect her concern that she showed around bd. She has opened the card and had a couple of chocolates, I didn't dig too deep into her thoughts just said we can talk sometime when she wants to. And let her go. So s is finishing some time on minecraft before we settle and he heads for bed.

Dont need to drive so opened the shiraz, some now and I'll have a bath later and some more.

Could have been a lot worse day, been busy got a shiny new bin a new fish in the house and s for the evening.

Felt a little sad w is putting lots of effort into decorating a new room for s as its clear she has no intention of changing her mind (outwardly anyway) any time soon but that tunnel holds no cheese so in the box it goes.

Thats me for now anyhoo, hope you guys have had a good one and been taking good care of yourselves today

Raise my glass, cheers!

Ha, od, bft wouldn't ask the cheeseburger would just slowly move off being dragged to a place of predetermined munching when no one. Was looking.
