**Applauds Swipe**
Sliming back into clothes rather than buying new ones? You've changed!

Sorry to hear about the mental ex. I suppose it goes to show that it's not just women who have spazzy brains. Sorry to hear that violence was involved.

How long does the average gym session last? (I ask that as someone who doesn't do gyms, thanks in no small part to be naturally thin, meaning I can eat and drink what I like without putting on weight).

oh no
i still buy new ones too! come on, don't be naive.

my mother, who was very slim and healthy, collapsed whilst exercising with a brain haemorrhage. absolutely no warning, but she died v shortly afterwards. obviously i knew rationally it wasn;t connected to the exercise, but he said awful things about it. then once he'd reduced me to tears or hit me, he'd say blackmaily stuff like "i just worry about you, i don't want you to die."

urgh, how depressing!!! anyway. that is why i am now going a lot, because having started again, i had forgotten how good it makes you feel. i think it's also helping me get over the above, because i never ever talked about it before. i just got more and more unfit!

you and your perfect metabolism can sod off though!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that, it sounds like it was a shitty time to be Swipe. I have no retrospective advice, thoughts or indeed ill-thought-out jokes to lighten the mood.

Glad to hear that everything is far more positive these days and you've jettisoned the ex. Additionally, sorry to hear about the loss of a parent. Can't have been easy.

it wasn't the best of times
in hindsight i can't believe i let him do it, but i think i was just so knocked sideways by what had happened, and when he was being nice to me i couldn't imagine how i'd cope with everything without him.

no, losing my mum so young (she was only 54) and so unexpectedly was/is beyond words. but i was lucky to have had the best mum in the world whilst i had her, and we were v close, which helps a lot.

I pleased to hear you've nothing
But brilliant memories of your mother.

Any contact with your ex these days? Surely you must want to know just how badly his life is going for the amusement?

well
oddly enough he called me the other day after about 3 years, wanting to tell me that married life ain't all that, and wondering if i wanted to pop over for the afternoon. he'd changed his number or i wouldn't have taken the call.

again oddly enough i was busy.

What a twat.
He could have phoned me and I'd have told him married life is gash.

I'm not surprised you were busy. The number of weekends you seem to spend in work suggests to me you are very busy.*

It's not even endearing anymore either.
I don't know why I do it.
