So forgetful todayPosted by patti.p in other, my day today, moving on |
 |
I was raised my my Sis, a chronic list maker. Since this whole mess has started, my memory has been a sieve. I still write lists, then I forget something, then a detail gets forgotten. Today was the worst. I deep cleaned the bathroom, getting ready to paint it, then I forgot to put the OH's grooming products back, & instead put only my things back. Then I forgot the bathroom was blue, & instead I only remembered the white paint. Then I forgot all about the heating, which I know I am not supposed to use as "we" can't afford it. I feel bad, I forgot & turned it on. That bottle of wine that I wasn't supposed to touch as it could be "given" to the MiL cos of how nice she is? Woops!!! Opened it, now in the fridge. The out of date lotions that were on his shelf, the ones that he swore he needed (but hasnt touched since he left)? Accidentally threw them away. And to top it off, I forgot to call him to ask him when he is coming over to do DIY! I hope my memory gets better before I forget and start buying myself new clothes, going to visit my friends around the world, saying yes to meeting new people, or spending money on myself. I need to remember to not forget!

Very pleased that you are coming to terms with your affliction. Admitting your own flaws is halfway to eradicating them. Your Mental Health Professional will be proud of you! |

Thanks for the smile. The money part in separation is tough. I hope you're taking time for yourself and taking care of yourself! I just bought a ticket to LA to visit friends in April and it cost $265. Great price, but I still felt bad for spending on me. Need to work on that... | |

I know, I am SO forgetful I have just gone to pick up the post as well, as there is a ridiculous letter from his Sol, saying that he needs to have the house on the market in the next SEVEN DAYS, as he is so worried about his finances and being a police officer, etc... I think I will forget about this until I get a job and my memory gets better. |

On the subject of solicitor letters, all they do is write what the other side tell them to do. It doesn't necessarily mean that it has got anything to do with the law. My ex once had a letter written along the lines of 'you can have all your stuff back if you pay me a couple of grand, or alternatively I keep the telly' (I paraphrase, of course...) My stuff was never worth that, and neither was the telly (!) Best, JJ x | |

IF HE wants the house on the market in the next 7 days get HIM to come and sort it out. Unless he gets a order to force a sale he can poke it. And getting it on the market is not a gaurantee it will be sold. JJ has a point, how much is he going to give you for white goods - TV, sofa's bed etc because you want it out of the house don't you ; - ) | |

No, see, Patrick, thats the best part ... he only came over 4x in Nov., 3x in Dec., then took an 11 day holiday, I was the one who contacted him when he came back, then he waited anouther 5 or 6 days to contact me regarding coming over. He asks for a whole window of time that I will be gone, (say 9-3), then he will come over at 12 or later. Each time he comes over its only for an hour or two, cos he is "so busy". In reality its cos he cant get his ass out of bed as he is on the phone to Canada until 5 or 6 am UK time, then goes to sleep. Each time he comes over, not ONLY does he NOT do ANY DIY, he also takes things from the house to sell, or takes my food. The best thing is that his Sol's letter says that I can't be at home when he comes over, which is against the law. Hmm, funny that he's a Policeman and not knowing what the law is? Thanks to a lot of peeps I know what my rights are. He can yell and scream and complain all he wants, but the fact is that he is telling his Sol something very different from the truth! I have asked him to put things on ebay for the both of us, he doesnt, just his stuff... hi is a nightmare. |
