Moving Out but moving on?

[jim0987]

Are you able to get your S earlier or spend some time with him after the event?

Hi Jim

Sadly no, need to finish work and then pick him up and get there and it doesnt finish until 9-10 (which is late for a 10 year old) and since he cant come back to me (penultimate week that applies) due to the state of the flat and his likely being upset I'm a bit sandwiched sadly

He can help me get some bits at the weekend possibly with an Ikea visit which will doubtless lead to meatballs and or hot dogs!

Ahhhh IKEA hotdogs - the food of champions...

Well hopefully you can have some quality time with your S at the weekend. I genuinely think you will feel better when you've moved - you won't have the constant reminders, the packing chaos and it will be your space.

Well I'll have a lot of positive distractions such as getting furniture arranged the way I want it and getting my servers and tech' in and working the way I want it, should keep me busy for a while anyway. That plus having S over to stay (which I'm reaaaaalllyyy looking forward to - and need to get a bed sorted for as his current one is staying here) should cast be a positive mood over me, as much as it can when I do have to have some Christmas decorations in and up (for S not for me - he can help me pick new ones and put them up as I couldn't bear to have the ones we've all put up together around me while I was by myself)

W just called me to let me know about a few things (phisio etc which I wont go into here) and to chat over her BB access and delivery etc. She went quiet at a few places on the call and rang off after saying a very soft goodbye at the end. She seems to be getting upset during our conversations at times and I know I'm not raising our M at those points, she seems to be definitely fighting a duality on the whole thing but best I dont get into mind reading, maybe just me looking for potentially false hope again.

Anyhoo enough for now..

And then her broadband kit welcome pack turns up in her maiden name. Could be bank related but pinged her to say it was here. Done with emailing, texting and worrying about it (yeah, right) today.

Ah, nuts.

W just called to say wasnt anything except she couldnt get a discount offer if it was the same name at the same address after a long phone call this was the way they managed to do it. I thanked her for calling me that she didnt need to explain herself but I thanked her and that her telling me was very kind.

Again, I'm not going to necessarilly read anything into it except she chose to at least take the time to call about it, thats something.

[jim0987]

Its mind reading on my part but I get the sense that you might be getting to an exasperated emotional place of

'Oh come on!!! What now.....?'

You'll be fine and your new place will be so much less stress

[edz]

Getting to?!??!

Wow, not just me then.

I have just - literally - turned my phone off to stop me texting that link to W, some of the descriptions are her and her mother to a tee.
