4 months later (after my husband walked out of me)

Well my friends… I am still alive !

Now that Christmas and New Year have passed… I feel that I am coming out of the darknss into the light.

I have been keeping myself very busy. Which has kept my mind occupied and also been working a lot.

I have totally revamped my Front Room… totally amazed at the results… I stepped out of my comfort zone and have created a Feature Fireplace… which to honest… it looks stunning.

Im getting a ‘lady’ in to do my cleaning whilst Im at work.

And finally have been lucky in that I am going to Lanzarote with my family for a weeks holiday in a luxury villa with a heated swimming pool in May

Maybe its not all that bad - knowing that I am surviving and doing ok… and HE is living in a one bedroomed converted annex on a stinking dirty farm with the dog for company.

Is this called ‘KARMA’. ? I think so.

Sam

Thanks for update Sam. So happy for you, enjoy your holiday, your feature wall and any and all projects you take on from now on. Also Karma is great. The best revenge is always to live well. Never let the b$*%^ds get you down. Lx

Hurrah! Good for you! Serves him right that hes living in poor conditions. Bet hes not laffing now, eh?

You keep that frame of mind…the holiday sounds fab…so does the fireplace.

Go girl…you have proved yourself stronger than you thought.

Great stuff.

luv Pollx

Glad you are feeling better and have a great holiday.

By the way I live in an Annexe (not on a farm though) they are not all bad

Hello Sam, whatever God-if you believe-you have with you, may he continue to give you strength, and more light at the end of the tunnel, that YOU have proved, after darkness, comes a brand new day, is there for all to see. Well done to you, for what must have been a hard time, good luck for the future may you climb to the top, Brian

All the best to you Sam. Have a great holiday :smiley:

Hiya, again Sam, I meant to wish you a great holiday and lots of warm sunny weather. Now for a serious side, I know you are angry with him, but calling his beau, a dog-LOL,Brian

What a great bunch of people you all are.

At least I can hold my head up high and sleep soundly in my bed with no guilty conscience whatsoever…

OH YES I forgot to say… I am managing to SAVE £1,000 per month.

:o) ker-ching.

Your new life sounds grand Sam. Well done and good for you. So good to hear of someone who has been there - done that and come out the other side smiling and happy.

There have been lots of excellent reports of Lanzarote from folk on here. Seems the climate really good for us with MS.

2014 - is going to be your year!!

Ha, Karma indeed!

So glad to hear you are doing ok and feeling more positive - you should be proud of yourself, you’ve proved you can be an independent woman

Hi Sam,

Funnily enough I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were coping so it is so good to hear that you have turned yourself around and that you are staying busy. Well done on the fireplace - care to do mine??? .

Enjoy the holiday - you most definitely deserve it. Remember to send him a postcard of your lovely holiday though. Moving on from the other half feels so much better when the other half knows that you have moved on - and are better off!

Well done you, I am delighted with your update!!!

the sisterhood rules!

So very pleased to hear that you have turned a corner, when you’re at your lowest it can seem very hard to believe it when people say it will become easier over time but you have proved this is the case.

I love Lanzarote best of all the Canaries, i love the stark landscape and it will be very pleasant in May.

Hopefully you will now go from strength to strength and don’t let him ever drag you down. xx

Good news- Enjoy Lanzarote,we were there over Xmas, it is lovely and I felt so much better with a pleasant warm climate to relax in.
