Made a promise to myself 25 years ago when my 2nd son was born that I would stay until the house she bought ( couldn't get the house without me returning home after leaving for half a year ) and my youngest son was settled in good form . Well he's got a great job now and an 11 out of 10 woman and the house is paid for . Without going into detail , I was trapped into the first pregnancy from the beginning ... and by the time the 2nd guy came along and when he was one ... she already cheated twice . So much in play here it would take me a day to explain . She didn't know I knew and I let her have it the other day seeing nothings holding me anymore . Cheated on by a woman I didn't want to be with after a month . The biggest factor here is I had a previous wife ( British subject ) go back to England 6 years previous a, while expecting . She 37 now , seen one picture of her when she was young . Wasn't going to happen again so I dug in for my kids . A lot of my chest gents , cheers

Sorry to hear you’ve been through this **** roofie. Make sure you’re not just cutting your nose off to spite your face though mate.

If you’re still off, I’ll meet you in Tofino for a beer before you cross the Pacific on your long way round to Weymouth to meet @Skylarker

All the best Roofus....only you know what you have been through and how you see your tomorrow.
 
Went to the GP this morning for my post 40 wellness check. It’s a bit like an MOT for over 40’s. I like to keep myself in shape but I was convinced something would come up (given years of excessive drug use, partying too hard etc)

Pleased to say I got a clean bill of health. Blood pressure fine, cholesterol fine, liver function fine, blood sugar levels fine, had an ECG all good, got a heart score of somebody 5 years younger than I am, so that was a pleasant surprise. Could do with losing a few kilos, but nothing drastic.

Would definitely recommend it for those on here who are a similar age to me. (44) Could be a life saver for some.

Im going by the ignorance is bliiss rule of thumb.
 
Flat I went to see today was about the size of a large shoebox, and for £800pm it's a no from me, going to see another straight after work this morning, cheaper bit nicer area and the landlord sounds like a facking stoner and some haha

Got an email from a lady who has a high spec studio for £660pm, which makes me suspicious, hoping to view that on the weekend and if it's what the pics look like I'll snap her ****in hand off

What am I doing ...... I'm preparing to leave my common law wife of 32 years in the new year . Something I promised my self 25 years ago . Little truck , ladder and tools ...going to hit the highway and flip a coin ...East or West ... How do like those apples folks . Excited , happy and basically homeless ..

We want a thread and daily updates and pics of where you go, it'll be like a thread version of On The Road by Jack Kerouac but not ****.
 
Savour it mate...you're living the moment that makes you feel on top of the world. Everyone going to work and you are at home chilling having worked...enjoy the Biff.
Tru dat fam.

Last week Monday i found a gram of powder i forgot I had from the weekend half way through my shift, tore into it and obviously fancied a beerio on the way home, so there's me on the tube at 730am eyes like dinner plates, full luminous ppe clobber and swigging a large bottle of Becks while all the school kids and worker ants stared at me with pure jealousy and envy :) [HASHTAG]#goodtimes[/HASHTAG]
