Torment...

For the past few months I have been returning to the house and collecting stuff to bring back to this place I'm renting, only to be moving it again once my purchase on my new place is complete.

I was really hoping that today would be my last visit- I've been there all day packing and carrying but alas- there has to be another visit. I feel right now that I am being tormented- that there is always more boxes, and stuff, a lot of it I don't even want but it is mine, so I have to pack it, and carry it, and then carry it again when I get back. 

Well, it didn't take long for the Ostrich/X/Idiot to find number 5...!

Yeppy yes yippitty dooh dah! 

I've been a way for a relaxing break with my daughter, and very nice it has been too- but last night she said she was unsure if she should tell me what she had just seen on Facebook, and even I was surprised when she said he already had another 'victim.'

It would appear that this woman posted that she was in a relationship with my X! WTF??? We haven't even completed the sale on the house and she already thinks he is such a lovely man...

Interesting...

...went back to the house today for some stuff. The X had four birthday cards:  one from his sister, one from his niece (who he never sees) one from OSD and one from the grandkids. Nothing from MSD or SS. It is very sad. I know he hasn't retired- he's still working and, it seems, not having much fun. I feel a bit sorry for him... should I be doing that? I think he only brought it on himself...

Sorry- I can't help it.

It is the the X's (formerly The Ostrich's) birthday today. He is 65. This is the day he can officially retire and I was going to mark it by taking him on a river cruise on a lovely boat. I'm sorry but I can't help but indulge myself in thinking about what may have been. I posted on here about sending him a card but decided not to- now it is too late anyway. I am going out to lunch with my sister and her husband but won't mention it to them, although they may know anyway. I will raise a silent toast to him and the good times we had.

I bought a house!

My offer, slightly under the asking price, was accepted earler today. It is more than I can really afford in the short term, but it is pristine- has two bathrooms is in a lovely semi-rural setting and is perfect for me.

I am veering from panic to euphoria but hope I have found somewhere to call my own for a long time. Please wish me luck that it all goes smoothly...

Freedom from Steplife- update from Fairyland for anyone out there!

I have just got internet access of my own after the big walk out less than six weeks ago, so I thought I would write an update for anyone interested in my story.

In less than six weeks I have:

Left Steplife and all its associated stresses well behind

Left the Ostrich to his own devices, as he wished

Found and moved in to my apartment and moved almost all my furniture because it has so much space

Sold my beloved home and in the process of emptying it bit by bit

Obtained more work from my very understanding boss

We got an offer- and it isn't bad!

Someone offered on the house- and it is a good offer. Obviously, I have mixed feelings about this as it was my beloved home and refuge from all things stressful- however, I know that I can re-create this elsewhere. It means I have to work more, do a lot more driving etc but I feel I 've had years taken off me and although I'm tired, I sleep well and am being well-looked after by my amazing family.

Three weeks in...!

The roller-coaster continues-here was my week:

Sunday-at my sister's place whilst she and her family were away on holiday. I got up early and went to church (it is just around the corner) The Ostrich wasn't religious- he resented my faith and didn't understand it- just another one of those things we didn't share. This was the first day I had had to myself since I left him- so I was glad of the quiet and had a very relaxing day just pleasing myself.
