That's exactly how I feel. I couldn't be happier. The children are fine about it, the younger two can't wait for him to leave. My eldest is angry about it, but she's pretty much the only one that still remembers times when he used to be nice. He's been particularly nasty towards my son, pretty much all his life, I don't understand why. He's the youngest, you'd think he'd treat him better than the girls if anything. It's been a long time now since I felt anything towards him other than anger and resentfulness, so it was definitely the right decision. I'm 40 next year, don't want to waste my life living with someone I can't stand anymore. I probably would've stuck with him if he'd been nice to the children, but even that's not the case. Hohum.

Sounds like we've been through pretty much the same situation. My divorce went through when I was 39 - sounds like it's a good age to take control of your life. I've been single now for 11 years, and don't regret it at all. My ex has also finally realised just how bad he was to live with, and is being nice to me now. He even gives me a hug when he comes to see the children, and is quick to defend me when his mum sticks her oar in. It's taken him long enough! I wouldn't take him back, though, ever. Shortly after he left (some time after I started divorce proceedings) my son, then 10 years old, cheerfully told someone "Daddy doesn't live here anymore".

I am sure your eldest will come to realise it's for the best, even if it takes a while. My kids are doing fine, and I'm sure yours will do, too.

That sounds quite spooky, lol, my son is 9 now, so almost the same. Thanks for the encouraging words, I'm sure it'll all be fine. Luckily he isn't being an arse about the finances, that was the only thing I was worried about, so once it's all settled in writing, I'll be the happiest person ever.

I collected my Givenchy order from HoF this afternoon - pretty sparkling white lipstick case and lid on the palette (yes it was expensive, but I used my HoF vouchers towards the cost). I asked at the Chanel counter about the Christmas collection, and she told me she doesn't have a date for it yet, but that it is usually in November.

I actually identify with your kids :) My parents divorced when I was 11, my brother and I lived with my mum, and we could not be happier. Of course I missed my dad, but they brought out the worst parts of each other. It also helped that my dad was a very hands-on dad and I literally saw him about 4-5 times a week, and later on in my life I saw him every day. He became one of my best friends.They were happier apart and my brother and I were happier with them apart. People would always ask me if I wished they would get back together and my answer was always HELL NO.

What did affect us is when the divorce proceedings got a bit nasty - and we had to listen to both sides say this and that about each other. That took a toll and was probably the most difficult part of it all. So don't worry, the kids will be fine :)

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in from the kids perspective! :)

Thank you. My parents got divorced when I was 20 and I can honestly say I wished they had done it at least 10 years earlier. My dad was an alcoholic idiot who thought he was better than anyone (think JR in Dallas). I asked my mum why she didn't kick him out earlier and she said she didn't think she'd cope financially. Needless to say she was much better off without him spending a ton of money on alcohol and fags. I didn't want to end up regretting not doing it when I got to the point that I couldn't take it anymore.

My husband is only moving 10 minutes away and will continue to take my eldest to school in the mornings, and will be around a lot. But he won't be living here and annoying the hell out of me, he won't be screaming at me first thing in the morning because I dared say something he didn't like, he won't be shouting at the children because they're 5 minutes late to bed and he wants to go and watch telly instead of waiting for them to go to bed, etc. Best of all I won't have to deal with his stupid parents anymore. The children will have a choice to stay with him, but as it is, my two youngest have no intention to do so, and they won't until he changes his attitude towards them.

The divorce is going very amicably, he's fully intending to support us financially, in fact he told me he thought I needed more money than I thought, so hopefully all will be well in the end of it.

I just ordered from Escentual as well - they're 10% cheaper than on JL (and probably others), plus I went via TopCashBack for 7.57% cashback, and I used my House Of Fraser card to pay, so 1 point for every pound spent as well. Fingers crossed that the cashback tracked correctly.

I'm dithering on the eye and cheek palette - it's a lot of money for something I can probably pretty much dupe, but I might buy it later if it's still around. I was, however, a naughty girl who bought the white powder despite its steep price. I'd been considering the Voyage powder for a very long time, and not bought it yet, but I gave in to temptation on this. Of course, I also bought the balls, the lipstick and the liquid lipstick. Thank goodness for credit cards, and particularly ones that I can earn points on.

Oh my lol :))) brill Hun :) topcashback I find that harder using that n figuring it out lol than ebates love ebates and earn dollars back when spend with nordstrom etc which I was doing regularly I have my credit card still but charges interest onvoisly :( We transferred the money over I still owed onto his virgin credit card as was offering two years interest free on balance transfers Oh that cost is a extra 29.00 pounds but my gosh it was worth it being I owed and the added interest date was cropping up Otherwise I wouldn't of been able to pay it :( hubby said keep the credit card you got lol I said why ? My eyes lit up ( but it's not in my purse no more ) as he says oh because you may not be able to get a credit card with that limit on it no more as you not properly earning a wage no more So isaid yeah ok :) I keep it but it's in the house now not in my purse damn lol See I thought I could get it all paid off but things in life changed and I swapped jobs for less income as I wasn't happy and going through hell at my previous job And then we moved away in the end away from family so all I can do is work at a school for now whilst my litlen at nursery two day week so income very very low that's been a right nightmare me having to work whilst the hubby off for past one half months being my little ones nursery closed but reopening bk up for now next Monday Roll on next week lol I'm glad you got what u wanted Hun Sorry what did you get from escentuals Hun Sorry for long post :))) I'm so glad we got our goodies I know when to stop now lol where as I didn't before !!!

Remember I said I had to pay hundreds of pounds to get the data recovered from my dead (not spinning) hard drive? I transferred that credit card balance to my BHS one which was offering me 18 months interest free, so at least I won't be paying interest on that and can pay it off gradually. I usually pay my HOF card off every month to avoid interest on that.

From Escentual, I've gone well overboard and bought the white powder, the balls, the Rouge G and the liquid lipstick. If the palette is still there next month I may go for that as well. In the meantime I plan to buy the Urban Decay Vice 4 at the end of this month, and I want a couple of bits from the Chanel Christmas collection when that comes out, whenever that will be.

I'm skipping. Mind Control looks nice, but I have so many reds already and my money is needed for Christmas collections, and presents of course
