Oh I love burgundy/red in a living room. It's so rich and decadent. BTW brothels are done in rich red plush colours because it's very pleasing to the senses 😉 B-)
I have red in my living room. Cushions and fabric wall hangings.
Mrs Braff you are making me very curious. You really get around to so many places! Did you follow Damo to Wagga Wagga?
Hugs to all!
PS I wonder how Mrs Jacks naughty weekend went? ]:)

I have to admit that I too thought how your son knew what brothel furniture looked like B-):^O
((Freddie and Mr. Freddie)) thinking of you both ♥
You ARE beautiful Cat....no surprises there!
Braff, you're back. You've been visiting Damo again? Lucky girl
youcan..I hope all is flowing smoothly for you
My weekend away was lovely. The cottage was a little sub standard but the company was wonderful. We had the best time and made lots of memories. It was so relaxing and I can't stop smiling. I'm really tired this morning but so worth it! 🙂
Keep staying strong Kylie :-x
Waving to my2 🙂
Have a great day people

Oops! I have been discovered.
Yes, I went to see Damo. :-x
It was the final concert in his Now & Then tour and since he only had 1 concert in Sydney I was owed a few. (That's my story anyway) 😉
I stayed with a friend there and she I KNOW went to the concert too along with quite a few of her friends who had never seen Damien before.
They are all wanting him back because he is so good. I know I rabbit on a lot about him but truly, he is SO worth seeing live. He is fiunny, has a fantastic voice and connects with the audience.
He is such a nice man on and off stage. There is no 'I'm too good for you/male diva type behaviour.
MsJacks, keep grinning. I'm really happy that you had such a nice weekend with Mr Potter.
MsCat, my bestie is a red lover. Everything is red. Buy her ANYTHING in that colour and she is happy.
I hope everyone has a great week and higs and hugs to all.

MsKylie, it can't be at all easy for you, trying to do the best thing for yourself and family but stay strong and get through each day.
Don't go through Mr SoontobeX's phone. So what if there is an x at the end of his message to the Boss.
That will help him move on quicker and out of your hair.
I have had a rollercoaster of emotions this weekend, and just between you okers and me.... I nearly renegged and went back to him! Grrrr.... Then I woke up to myself and had to be the 'baddy' and stay firm.
I know it confuses him and I dont want to do that but it's so hard with a baby involved 😞
ANyway we had a few 'good' talks and he has (sadly) paid the deposit on his new place, only about 10/15 mins away but a great deal, and I know he will (eventually) be happy there!
He leaves in 2 weeks, just need to get through the coming weekend then he will start taking his belongings over.
I wont be looking at his phone because I cant let these sort of things upset me, he IS the type to need female attention, and if he isnt careful/clever he could end up jobless if a fling with the boss goes wrong!
I have put a few 'rules' onto next weekend as we need to be on track with each other to get through the weekend, we are sharing a motel room and after an emotion fuelled day, I dont want him thinking 'anything' is going to happen!

Hi everyOK'er's :-x
Kylie stay strong. It's great Mr K has found a place nearby. Hopefully he will be there to support you and help out with Samantha. If you start to feel afraid, just remember this may not be a permanent separation. Things may be different down the track. And if it is permanent you will be OK, I have no doubt about that!
Mrs Braff so happy your having a hoot of a time catching up with Mr Soxy.
Jacks I'm so happy you have found some happiness!
Hugs to all, spesh to Mrs Freddie and Cuddly.

Just caught up on the posts since I was last here.
Jack, you sound so happy. It is lovely to see.
Kylie, you are doing so well and are soooo incredibly strong. Right up until I drove away in the truck when I left Paul I was faltering. The night before we left he pushed Bree backwards into a pile of boxes when she tried to stop him from leaving and going to the pub...she wanted to spend the last night with him. He had other needs. That night he broke things, was drunk and abusive and I had to lock the girls and I in my bedroom and call his brother to try to get him to come and calm him down or I would have to call the police...I STILL FELT SORRY FOR HIM and wondered if I was doing the right thing !!!
It is incredibly hard to put a full stop on a bad marriage. Your natural protective instinct kicks in and your brain filters out the bad and you long for the good times of the past.
In a months time (after the inevitable tears and what-ifs) you will look back and see the relief in the kids faces, the calmness in your home, and the lack of eggshells you had to walk over...and you will have a silent smile. You will raise a glass of wine to yourself and your beautiful children and you will KNOW that all is well.
There will still be times to come where you get glimpses of the man you fell in love with, and then the REAL person will shine through again.
I have a saying "I love seeing my ex. It reminds me each time how far I have come and how correct my choices were in leaving".
If you are concerned with Child Support, often in the beginning it is easier to get it taken from his wages. And make it clear to him that it is for Sam's upkeep, not your's. Punishing you, punishes his precious daughter. I have been through that too. Protect yourself and don't assume he will always do the right thing, especially when a new woman or nasty family comes into play.

Great advice :-x
