Against all odds, Paris were the out and out favourites, makes me laugh that we will have the Olympics late July/early August, smack in the middle of our rainy season - for those that haven't visited the UK, we have about 1 sunny weekend a year - that's summer, the rest is rain.

I'll have to visit. I have an almost perfect no-rain track record for Britain - whenever I visit, it doesn't rain!

Bob, what's your favorite Belgian beer (of the 500) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />?

I'm here!!!

So, what do we talk about?

News over here is pretty depressing at the moment.

How are you, Brownhair? Are you sorted for your move yet?

Alph.

Hi Alphin!

I loved the "You'll have to do better than this, Osama" writing on the bus.

My house is progressing nicely! Although the man that is doing most of the repairs called me today saying "You'll have to buy some rat poison, Miss, there are rat holes in the cellar." Bless the man for crawling into the shallow parts of my cellar to fix the pipes there. I get claustrofobic just thinking about it, let alone when you don't know if some rat will come visit you there!

He looks like Yul Brunner in Taras Bulba so a little rat doesn't scare him, but still...

WH is still dating. The older woman has "broken off" their relationship now, but still wants to be friends. He is already seeing another woman regularly, still friends right now but I wonder for how long. When I told him it's not easy for me that he's dating like that while I'm still here, he says that he understands... and that's it. That's basically the problem with WH: he understands, but doesn't act upon it. Weird behavior for a man who still wants me back into his life. Now why oh why wouldn't I want him anymore?

I'm going to take a nice hot bath and go to bed (it's one hour later here than in England <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
WH is watching Boomerang (with Eddy Murphy) and I don't really feel like watching it with him.

It seems all you UK and European MB'ers are having a wonderful time this weekend, and are not checking in here <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. For my birthday I'm going out for lunch with my mother and sister and then I'll find out what they have been up to all week asking me "what color I like" etc.
Have a wonderful Sunday y'all !

BH, yes I had a LOVELY Weekend thanks !

Went to our holiday home in Wales. It was GLORIOUSLY hot and we drank wine and talked and laughed with friends, and we talked and laughed with each other and we made love and played with our children in the sunshine and the river.

People had worse weekends than Squid and I, surely. Ours was lovely.

Hope had a great one too ! Like the cake by the way !!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I assembled a desk this weekend. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I had a glass of wine out on the deck, as well!!!

OK, I admit my weekend wasn't thrilling.

Alph, my weekend should have been awful - its a serious "fanniverary" today...a bad one..a year ago today squid banged OM in a motel telling me she was shopping with her sister, and stole our kids college money to set up house with OM.

She is a completely different person today, I found no reason to be sad.

bOb,

I am so glad that you and others that have recovered or are recovering their marriages are here to encourage us!!! Hard to believe that your Squid was so far gone, and you are so happy today!

I had an intense weekend with WH. Good and bad. It's a rocky road. WH had the assignment from SH of doing step 1a for reconciliation. He managed to take partial responsibility for his affair --- the main reason it happend was that I was neglecting his emotional needs. This is not exactly what Harley had in mind, I think, but still progress. WH admitts that he has emotions and emotional needs. He is reading HNHN. Progress in tiny steps. I guess I should be happy that there is at least some signs that the fog is breaking.

Still, I won't fool myself. I've still got a non-remorseful H that has continued contact with OW.

Anger = drinking a rat poison and waiting/wishing the rat would notice you drink it and the rat die from it.

Sounds like a wonderful weekend Bob. Congrats.

Happy Belated Birthday Brownhair! Where's my cake?????

Alphin...assembling a desk is something to celebrate and be proud of girlie <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> A very productive weekend! Reclaiming a bedroom as your study area for your writing is VERY Plan A. Good for you.

The weather has been gorgeous since Saturday afternoon. We did lots of court case stuff which has dominated our lives since early February....it takes hubby away from "us" and is a concern for me but we managed to balance it this weekend with a ride out with our girls...eek. We also sat on the patio last night until 10pm as it was so warm....we snuggled with a glass of wine. It was lovely.

My DD10 went donutting at a local dry ski slope for a birthday party....she enjoyed that!

LT, I'll be honest, it was only the fact that OM GF responded like a tigress to my exposure with proof that ended Squids affair. She absolutely didn't want to - was smitten with the old wastrel.

OM GF kicked [censored] shen I exposed to her and OM dumped Squid like a hot turd fearing losing everything.

YES MB worked and I stuck to it well, but I was lucky OM was such a wastrel roue and OM GF was so tough on him.

All blessings LT. This stuffs hard.
