It's my 40th today

Had a great weekend away with my best girls. The people at work were lovely, Thai lunch, huge bunch of flowers and the promise of more tomorrow.

Then I get home and find 2 cards and a letter from exA on the mat. I had read similar posts here before so was sort of expecting it but hoping he wouldn't.

Suprised by the reaction, seriously thought I'd feel nothing but had that prickly sensation in my eyes that you get when you are about to cry. Have decided it is manipulation though, he thinks I'm too well brought up not to phone and say thanks. Not playing the game, I'm going to be rude for a change!!!!

Took the shine of my evening as my mum had done something so thoughtfull, she gave me the ruby and diamond ring my grandmother received for her 40th aniversary to me for my 40th birthday (we were sooo close) I'm now feeling crappy as I let him spoil my reaction to it!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone. Feeling much brighter today and am keen to look forward as opposed to dwelling on the past. Roll on another 40 years :-)
