Withany's bridge

Hi, some of you already know of my DH and what he has done to me and our family, so after surviving Christmas with the help of you lot, the New Year's Party, that I don't remember how I got home from,confused i am back here to let you know that my little saying of 'Cry a river, build a bridge, walk over the bridge to a new life' is being put into operation I have bought a hard hat and my bridge is under constructionsmile
Gave my DH and floosie a shock this morning, we bank online,but this morning I could not log in, after having my card cloned last year, my first thought was either DH had changed bank long in details or my computer had been hacked. I emailed DH and said what had happened and he had 30 mins to tell me if it was him or I was going to cancel all bank cards. Well he didn't email, so I rang her house in #America and when she answered I asked to speak to my DH please, she made some sort of response so I repeated the request and then DH came on the line, said he knew nothing about changing the bank, don't cancel his card, he would try and log on from there and see if he could find a problem. He then sent me a mail in seconds saying don't cancel my card I shall be stuck here and not able to get home!
Well GN's I think he thought I had come down with the last lot of rain, I responded with You have a return ticket and a girl friend to lend you the money, you can get home.
He then rang me and said he could get into the accounts, would I try again and let him know what had happened. I spoke to bank, they checked system had no idea why system had locked me out, but everything was o.k. I let DH sweat a bit and then emailed and said bank o.k., solicitor stuff ready for when you return.
I think it must have been a shock to answer the phone and I am on the other end, I do hope sogrin it has put a smile on my face several times today. The fact that I was shaking when I phoned, and I have been a bit wobbly since speaking to him, well I expect thats normal. But I am counting what I did as the first part of the foundation for my bridge. I may have to dig a bit deeper or even start again, but my bridge is on the way, there has been no crying today. flowers take care everyone thank you so much for your support.

A continuing blog could go here

I'm still trying to work out which of the forum guidelines was broken by Caz's deleted post.

KatGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 09-Jan-14 10:53:53

Just to pop in to say that we're in no way deleting posts because they're opinionated. We've deleted a couple of posts on this thread because they insinuated the OP wasn't telling the truth, and that's not something we really allow on our forums.

If you suspect someone of not being genuine, please don't accuse them publicly on the discussion thread (if you're wrong, you could cause untold hurt). Please do report posts directly to us by using the 'report button'.

Best of luck with your situation Withany flowers

Seems well put to me.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 09-Jan-14 10:58:13

Oh, it's such a pain in the bum when you get one deleted and you can't remember wtf you said.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 09-Jan-14 11:00:56

You are very caring Kat. smile

I expect you treat all the younger mums on Mumsnet in just the same way.

Soutra Thu 09-Jan-14 18:34:31

Nothing more from Withany? I hope she does try writing a blog and if you are reading this Withany - look forward to hearing how things turn out.

ps Thu 09-Jan-14 18:38:08

I have no idea what has been said and what has been deleted but what I can say is that I have come across more than a handful of so called professionals whom I wouldn't trust with a jigsaw puzzle let alone anyone suffering a major trauma in their lives. Professional standards of practice and ethics for a particular field are agreed and maintained through professional associations and indicative of a degree held in that particular field. I sometimes feel, rightly or wrongly, that many who earn their living in a particular field consider themselves professionals. The moral and ethical obligations imposed on professionals generally results in a very high standard of ethics and consequently a high standard of care and diligence in whatever field they may be practicing in.

PS ????

Soutra she only seems to post in the mornings !

Iam64 Thu 09-Jan-14 18:50:09

ps - What?

Charleygirl Thu 09-Jan-14 18:54:35

Where has this come from ps?

Soutra Thu 09-Jan-14 19:53:45

Likewise confused??? I can see no logic in what you are saying. What is your complaint then?

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 09-Jan-14 19:56:33

Wrong thread, I would think.

Ariadne Thu 09-Jan-14 19:57:19

Totally and utterly confused

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 09-Jan-14 19:58:53

Mind you, there could have been something said about professionals in one of these, very lengthy, posts. Maybe ps is a more dedicated reader than some of us. smile

ps Thu 09-Jan-14 20:05:15

Sorry ladies, forgive me, it was just an opinion in response to a previous posting regarding professionals opinions if I remember correctly. I certainly have no complaint, far from it and yes I would like to think I am a dedicated reader. It is the least I could do if I am to express an opinion.
Anyway, Dolphins on BBC followed by Silent Witness beckon.

JessM Thu 09-Jan-14 21:02:58

I'm sure you are forgiven and nice to see you taking a bit more active part in the forum these days ps

bikergran Thu 09-Jan-14 21:22:05

withany I think I may be repeating a post that some one may have mentioned already and without reading all the posts again I may be wrong...but do think twice what you post in any forums, as to what your intending to do, and maybe not give too much information away(perhaps to the "otherside"), as you just never know who is reading the posts and If I am right posts on most forums can be picked up and read else ware (google etc etc) I posted on motorcycle forum a few years ago and if I google my GN name it comes up with me waffling on! "just a thought! as you did mention that you hadn't posted on forums before so I'm not sure if you are aware of these things, you can always "private message as well" smile keep building that bridge, plenty of motar around here to support you smile

Granny23 Thu 09-Jan-14 21:44:18

What a shame. I came on to see how Withany is getting on today, only to find that she seems to have abandoned the thread and instead there is a couple of pages of mainly inconsequential drivel, smilies and grins. After Withany's brave and resolute initial post - which should be compulsory reading for anyone before they add their t'uppence ha'penny worth - her inspirational bridge has been undermined. I don't even feel able to encourage her to post again as I am afraid the same thing could happen again.

withany Thu 09-Jan-14 22:16:03

Hi, I haven't deserted the GNs or my bridge, but my thread seemed to be full of squabbling, I gave that up when I left infant school and have no time for it.
Had eyes tested today, yes New specs pick them up next week. Had to use car with missing hand brake button, solution to pressing spindle thing button was on...I wore a gardening glove, worked a treat.

Hubby not happy, such a shame roll on next week solicitor will get things organised ready for SBs return.
I am putting the clothes he left into black bin bags, toying with the idea of putting a bit of itching powder in his boxers, that should make him dance!
Hopefully to my tune for a change.

BlueBelle Thu 09-Jan-14 22:21:20

No lecture from me because i think you 've come a long way and are doing well but I d feel a lot happier if you weren't phoning or emailing him I think every time you do you send a message 'I need contact with you' why can't you let it all go and let him stew All correspondence through a solicitor only

NfkDumpling Thu 09-Jan-14 22:21:54

Ooooh, Withany, I like that. I like that a lot! grin

NfkDumpling Thu 09-Jan-14 22:22:42

(The itching powder that is)

ps Thu 09-Jan-14 22:32:44

withany you are a lesson to us all. So pleased to read your upbeat posting and feel an idiot in that I didn't think of the bin bags. I bought wardrobe cartons and tissue to neatly pack my ex's clothes for her to collect. As for the itching powder - priceless, an absolute Gem. Anthrax would have done me! Keep up the spirits, you come across as being a fighter and do keep us informed. Very best wishes.

grannyactivist Thu 09-Jan-14 22:45:08

Hi Withany - I want to write that I'm so glad that you're keeping your pecker up, and in spite of the little voice in my head saying 'Titter ye not' in a Frankie Howard voice, I'm still going to say it!!
