    Be strong, don't cave! It's hard to begin with, but it get's easier. I've been there and done it, it's 2 1/2 years later for me, and I still think about her a fair amount but it's easier. Cutting ties has helped me move on with my life. Keeping busy is the best thing, and doing things you want to do. I put a lot of my initial feelings into running and ended up running a Marathon. Not saying running is the thing to do!! But just taking up some kind of hobby helps, and just keeping busy with friends.

    Beckham's son turned up to training at Old Trafford this morning, for the youth squad.
    A few of the other lads were asking him what number shirt he would be wearing.
    He approached the team coach to ask what jersey he should put on.
    "Wear four out there Romeo." He replied.

    Damn my Twitter is full of BBC employees tweeting and retweeting back the BBC campaign crap.

    If the BBC is so great, they won't be afraid to make it subscription...

    im attempting to forget about the love of my life by distracting myself with some retail therapy. I just bought myself some new Freds. #cantstop #shoppingaddict
    nothing like a twin tip to make you temporarily forget about your on the shelf status.

    Well done, Jen. I know the feeling. I'm going through a particularly bitter and vicious divorce (which has been a surprise to me as we were only together about 8 years) and the best way I've found to take my mind off it was to buy a newer car and go off to Scotland for 3 weeks holiday to get away ....
    Unfortunately one can't stop one's feelings, even if the other is a complete "rhymes with witch" but getting away and retail therapy definitely help!
    Good luck!!!

    I went to university as a mature student to give me something to do whilst I was splitting up with and divorcing my ex.....It was a great time in my life and made my breakup very bearable. I seem to recall you've not long left uni, have you thought about doing something like a masters, and immersing yourself in that? Any distraction is good, and a challenging one is even better.

    Shameless plug:

    I'm giving a talk on "How to be lucky" at Sunday Assembly in Bournemouth at 11am this Sunday (19th July). It's at Rooper Hall, 5 Victoria Park Rd, Winton, Bournemouth, BH9 2RB. Being lucky is, to a large extent, under your control and I will let you know how you make it happen.

    Sunday Assembly is a godless congregation that celebrates life. It's good fun.

    If you'd like to come along please do. No membership, no commitment bar a willingness to try something new once and to meet new people. Can't promise a life-changing presentation from me but it should be worth hearing, if only to be able to tell me that I'm talking out of the back of my fat head.

    Vin

    Seems a good guy, as did Norman Lamb.

    His stance on abortion and gay marriage disappointed me, but I do like him. If only Labour could get their act together....

    I quite like him. A bit of fire in the belly, good orator. Bit more of a leftie. I agree, though. Although he did at least carry gay marriage through to the final vote. Just a shame he didn't put it through himself. (no euphemism)

    Labour won't get their act together any time soon, I can't imagine.

    I think you are right. My membership has run down, so it looks like I won't get a vote in the leadership ballot in September - what a shame. Just offering the same old, same old. Makes you laugh when you hear Andy Burnham talk of taking us out of the 'Westminster bubble'.

    If the Lib Dems do move back to being a real progressive political force, they could persuade me I guess. Will take time, but Tim Farron is a good start.

    Do you have a podcast of it? If not why not - how lucky will you get without a podcast or downloadable version? :)
