thank you!Oh I’m so happy for you
I must be psychic
Please get pink in your hair for the wedding
Ooo yeah that sounds lush! I did say to him last night I want to elope, though, once both divorces are finalised. I don’t want the hassle of planning a huge wedding. I’d rather just go on holiday with all the kids and say our vows there. Also can’t face looking around posh wedding venues and people thinking he’s my dad and not my partner That’s what we want to do funny enough. Can’t have my family in the same room so duck itthank you!
Hopefully you aren't too sick I started feeling better after day 3 xOh my days what amazing news
Morning nasty trolls , day 3 of covid for me and woken up and kids are testing positive! Luckily husband isn't feeling as bad as me so he's on working from home duty and trying to deal with the kids (who are feeling ok just a bit snotty!)
Hope everyone is doing ok , delighted to see engagement news today
ironically I’ve still got my wedding dress from my first marriage in our loft somewhereThat’s what we want to do funny enough. Can’t have my family in the same room so duck it
I do want a nice dress though
it’s probably been eaten by moths now! I don’t even know if I want a proper wedding dress this time… hadn’t given any of it much thought because he’d said he’d never get married again!! So I’d just accepted that so long as I could be with him I’d never get married again! (Bleurgh that’s mega cheesy isn’t it?!!)Not even a little bit. We’ve been engaged for 5 years now and I’m the same. I didn’t ever want to get married till I met my partner now I do but he’s ‘oh just get a registry and don’t tell anyone but I want us to have a special day but not necessarily have everyone there?ironically I’ve still got my wedding dress from my first marriage in our loft somewhere
I dunno haha Ooo I’ve never been! Would you recommend it? I’ve honestly got no idea where we’ll go! I mean it’ll be like 2025 by the time his wife agrees on the T&Cs of a divorce so I’ve got plenty of time to planNot even a little bit. We’ve been engaged for 5 years now and I’m the same.

not cheesey at all. Have a special day just for you guys to share
I’m thinking Barbados for us? I loved it when I went before
That’s mean tbh if you don’t want to be together anymore then just…move onOoo I’ve never been! Would you recommend it? I’ve honestly got no idea where we’ll go! I mean it’ll be like 2025 by the time his wife agrees on the T&Cs of a divorce so I’ve got plenty of time to plan
part and let each other live there life I don’t get that 
she’s a special kind of crazy tbh… wants all the money (even though she’s NEVER worked the entire time they’ve been married) and absolutely cannot stand me so it complicates things!That’s mean tbh if you don’t want to be together anymore then just…move on
But gives you plenty of time to plan
it’s SO beautiful. Omg

Went about 6-7 years ago now? My dad goes back as often as he can now ffs
I might look in to weddings there!Wonder if much will change now they’re ‘free’she’s a special kind of crazy tbh… wants all the money (even though she’s NEVER worked the entire time they’ve been married) and absolutely cannot stand me so it complicates things!
it looks so gorgeous
yeah we got back at lunchtime today and I’ve been stupidly busy trying to get unpacked, get the washing done and the house organised!Wonder if much will change now they’re ‘free’
If I couldn’t marry there I think it’d be Portmarnock for me
that sounds about right tbh.Some women have no shame
are you back now?
wouldn’t mind but he left me for another woman (they’re no longer together… which is quite satisfying tbh!!) don’t really think he has the right to comment on what I do with my life after he chose to walk out on us when our son was 1!!!Oh sweet, I’m sorryyeah we got back at lunchtime today and I’ve been stupidly busy trying to get unpacked, get the washing done and the house organised!
Then my ex came to pick up my eldest for the weekend and all hell broke loose because he noticed my ring
& I get that but, you’re no longer together romantically so just move on 
it’s so hard! I mean, I’m used to dealing with the tit but sometimes it can get on top of me and feels like it’s getting in the way of us enjoying our lives together. I’m quite a strong and positive person normally but sometimes it’s hard when it feels like the positive times in our life together are being tainted by other people. If that makes sense?!Oh sweet, I’m sorry
I don’t know why if you decide to separate you can’t just let your former other half move on & let them enjoy their life. It’s not going to be easy
Are you ok?
I’ve always said that the only firm of contraception that would work is if they showed you the endless piles of washing you have
yeah piles of washing as contraception!! Or playing a newborn crying sound to you on repeat!! I’d forgotten just how difficult that was (even though it had only been a few years) and then when we had our baby last April I was like 
the sleep deprivation! The crying!! It’s soooo difficult!! Although, I think he found it even harder than I did as with his kids his ex wife and the live in Nanny did like 99% of it! He was always working and even slept in a separate bedroom when the children were babies! This time he wanted to be more involved so I think he got a shock plus I refused to hire a Nanny! thank you!
100% understand it’s hard to let the negative not slip in & influence over your joy & don’t be concerned if occasionally it does as we all know that’s life unfortunately but just try to not let it ruin your joyit’s so hard!

Then again… I know I chose to be with a man who is much older than me… we both have a past and we both had lives before we met each other.
Anyway!!! I’m turning into a whingey influencer now
thank you!
you both love each other & your children. Everyone has a past but the past is what makes us who we are now That’s very true!100% understand it’s hard to let the negative not slip in & influence over your joy & don’t be concerned if occasionally it does as we all know that’s life unfortunately but just try to not let it ruin your joy
I found the newborn stage the easiest (I’m blessed with a child who would eat & fall back to sleep 99% of the time
It’s the toddler stage (now) that’s not fun
I think for me as since he was 4ish months now we’ve been in lockdown so he only actually got to meet other kids in September ish so we’ve not had the ‘typical’ toddler ish thing so it’s been difficult for this stage
yeah doing the toddler thing without having groups to go to and places to go to is difficult. My eldest struggles to socialise with other children as he’s only ever been around adults! He was almost 2 when the first lockdown hit and had been through so much already with his dad leaving. Crazy times we’re living in!
Ah bless him
ugh that sounds like my idea of hell!! Is it a long journey from where you are?! (I swear you said you’re from Cheshire or living in Cheshire but I might’ve remembered that incorrectly!!)Ah bless him
I’m just on the train to Manchester & it’s packed with pissheads. I didn’t know Man U we’re playing. If I’d known I’d never have agreed to go pick up my MIL
How old is your eldest now ? Xx
so rock n roll!
