Thanks Cat, yeah I checked out FB and am adding it to my GAL goals (and R goals-let`s keep H jealous!) to get on there this week.

I`m hoping my signing up for mediation will take the tension out of the air. H has got what he wanted. They`ll ring him today to tell him.

I`ve just confirmed my attendance with them and thy`ve told me it`ll take eight weeks til we`re in negotiations for S, 3 weeks to run through the negotiations if they`re straight forward.

I`m sick for the kids but H has threatened again last night just to land the story of our M problems and S on them out of the blue. at least if we mediate we`ll get a proper plan in place in terms of how/when/where to tell them-and what to say.

In my heart of hearts of course I`m hugely saddened by this course of events but I`m keeping the tears for 3 am and keeping the sunny side out.

Among the ridiculous things H said last night
-I want to move nearer home so I can mind my parents when they`ll older(can`t mind his own kids...)
-I realised I`m a small town man(20 years after living in a big town)
-I`m moving into an apartment in the middle of Big Town(even though I`m a small town man)
-When I get the urge for intimacy I go to a football match(doesn`t bear thinking about...)
-I can`t get interested in the kids or my job and I keep avoiding ppl(so separation is the logical answer)
-I`m a nice person really
-I want to do the things I did when I was a kid
-I hate that ppl are talking about us(even though we`ll be the talk of the town when they get wind of the separation)
-Your brother is happy being separated(but his kids are not-but that doesn`t matter, right?)!
-I feel like telling the kids right now all about us(great!)


Oh, naturally I bit my tongue.


Well, on with the goals of this week-looking good and being very very mysterious.

Oh, and maybe getting a bit of WORK done around here!
