7 weeks to exH marries OW

[lea74]

So really had a good weekend. I guess it really did start with a good vibe.

I did a 5km race yesterday for cancer research which was good fun. Didnt think I would manage but had a great friend who pulled me along :-)

So back to the school shoes saga!! Chatted to my S11 on the phone last nite when he was at this dad's and he said that they had just bought shoes for the wedding. They are black leather ones and xH had said that if they were suitable then they could use them for school shoes.

Well, this got me thinking. When xH offered to buys my sons school shoes, this was obviously the idea. To actually buy shoes for the wedding then pass them on. I am not complaining as obviously this is a great saving for me - but I am disappointed though as I thought XH was making a kind gesture when in fact he was just being his usual shrewd self. It wasnt a gesture at all - just a convieniance.

Anyway today I receive an email from OW (not even W yet) from his hotmail account. What a bloody cheek - how dare she think she can email me. SHe emailed me to say that THEY have bought these shoes and would I like them for school shoes as they realise that I am battling financially.

Of course my first reaction was %$££*****!!!! Then I thought about it and the new improved responded as such:

'Thanks - thats brilliant. I really appreciate it.'

I didnt address the email to anyone just a hi.

At the end of the day my kids are the ones who will benefit as we will have a little more cash for our little vacation coming up so yeah - a litte thank you didnt hurt.
