The end of a marriage

Mrs Fancy becomes Miss Fancy and returns to her original blog. Incidentally I have deleted my second blog -please remove it from your sidebar as it won't lead anywhere.

Therapy through blogging commences...

Oh my dear.

I've been wondering how you are. I do hope you're ok. And if you need to moan - moan away.

the fly in the web said...

You've been missed.

ed pilolla said...

hope you are well. good thoughts to you...

Frankofile said...

Not the best news and just before Christmas, too. Blogland is sending you huge hugs.

Steve said...

Nice to see you back - genuinely - just wish it was under happier circumstances for you.

Hadriana's Treasures said...

Oh gosh, FF, hope all is OK! Sending you warmest hugs from a pretty cold Northumbria. Will try and pop over to see you regularly. Glad you are back! Hxx

Des Jumeaux said...

Wish you all the best, been thro a lot of what you have, good luck for the future. Things can only get better.

French Fancy... said...

Laney - no,I'm not going to moan or relate what has happened in any detail. But I have missed you too

Fly - thank you sweetie - it was so good to talk today

Ed - thank you, glad to be back in your orbit

Frankie - I'm not really very Christmassy at the best of times. My mum died Christmas Day - okay it was some 15 years ago but it is still not a day for much merriment for me

Steve - I've missed you too

Hade - I will catch up with what you've been doing over the next day or so

Ben - hello to you, a new name (I think). Welcome to the blog. It's normally a sad place

Veggie Carrie said...

Oh no, I am shocked to hear that, and hope you are coping ok. Are you returning to France or just your blog?

I was made redundant last week & haven't been in the mood to blog in a while but look forward to reading your posts again.

The bike shed said...

I separated in my twenties and regardless of fault or blame or all that it took me long long time to grieve the relationship.

So yes, therapy through blogging perhaps - but maybe a diversion too.

Stay strong

Larry M. Brow said...

I have just returned after untold months away and . . . doom. I'm very sorry for your loss, unless it was your idea, in which case, congratulations.

In an odd related note, I may be in England next autumn for a week. I know it's not quite like saying, "I'll be at the pub later, perhaps I'll see you there," but stranger things have happened. Perhaps I'll see you then.

In the meantime, if you are a hugger, please accept an unhurried and robust one from me. I know the virtual is not as good as the physical, but you can maintain them longer.

Now back to my work and studies.

Anonymous said...

I have been wondering how you were doing. I was so pleased when I saw your blog appear on my blog roll - and I am so sorry.

Selina Kingston said...

Oh gosh! I can't believe what I'm reading. I'm so sorry. Hope you are OK and coping. Sending you a massive hug xx

Rob-bear said...

Oh, dear, Julie; this is a shock! A long silence, then this. I am so sorry that this has happened.

As that musical group, The Insects (or Beetles, or Beatles, or whatever) said, "We get by with a little help from our friends." Just remember there are a lot of us friends out here (even a peculiar Bear)!

This Ro(a)mantic Life said...

Sweet FF, I'm so sorry to hear this. I saw the headline on your newer blog and then saw the whole place had been deleted. I'm glad I thought to find you here.

Will be thinking of you and checking in on you. {{{FF}}}

Sarah said...

I'm sorry to hear about the break-up of your marriage. It's a tough process to go through after so many years together.

You have a lot of support on this blog though, and you have lots of people thinking of you and wishing you well which I hope is of comfort in those down moments.

Big hugs and I hope it at least goes amicably.

Lola said...

Sorry to read this- best wishes flying straightaway to you through the blogosphere.

XOXO Lola & Nora:)

Ken Devine said...

I'm only sorry in the sense that so much anguish could have been avoided if...if! Anyway, I wish you both well in your new lives not together. I'm happy that you are happy but sad if you aren't. It's nice to have you back.

A Super Dilettante said...

My dear, welcome back. I'm thinking of you and sending you lots of warm wishes...I'm so glad that people here are so supportive and caring. I think you need all the support, care and love in the world, especially right now. You don't have to do it on your own. Suffering can be shared as a community. My letter is on its way. Love ASD xxx

Jean said...

Good grief - that's a shock.

I hope you're ok and I wish you lots of luck and the strength to cope with the ups and downs that immediate future will no doubt bring. (Speaking from bitter experience.)

When you feel like blogging or a bit of a rant, we'll be here.

A Woman Of No Importance said...

Oh, god no. Have been missing you like mad, and thinking you must have been so busy with your new job and the move, and so on.

You know where I am if there's anything at all I can do. Lovely to have you back, and wishing you some calm and comfort, FF. Much love, Fhi xxx

Blu said...

I think about you often and have been wondering how you are. Sorry to read your news.

Best wishes as always Blu xx

Ms Scarlet said...

I'm very shocked and upset for you. I was believing you were happy with your new life in Kent and settling in nicely.
*Hugs*

HTD's Mum said...

I am so sorry, am thinking of you. I still kept reading from time to time and I'm just shocked so had to post. xxxx

Anonymous said...

I missed you. Sorry to find out that you've been going through a break-up. But I'm glad you're back. Hope all is well there.

Fran Hill said...

Good to see your name back on the list of postings. Sorry about the bummer of a time you've had.

Ayak said...

Sending you warm wishes for a much happier future...and thanks for giving me the link to this blog again xxx

So sorry to hear your news FF - thinking of you at this tough time, as I am sure it is difficult no matter whose decision :(

Whoops - trigger happy!

French Fancy... said...

Carrie - No, I'm not returning to France, well except for perhaps the odd holiday. It depends on stuff really. I have returned to the blogosphere however. I am sorry to hear about your job circumstances - happy searching sweetie

French Fancy... said...

Mark - yes, life can be very sad sometimes. I look forward to catching up your life though

Larry - Mine will be a vodka with a slimline tonic please - when we finally have a blog meet in an English pub. Sorry you've been doom-laden, 2010 is not your best year either it seems - here's to a better year next year.

CA - thank you, don't know what else to say really

Selina - all hugs gratefully received

CT - thank you, hope your health is better. Will be along soon to find out

Rob - friends are grand

Sarah - support from the blogosphere is a good thing right now

Norah - thanks and love to Lola from the bichons (they're with me here)

Ken - lots of ifs and some buts and a few other little words too

ASD - oh sweet ASD, your texts have been lovely and I look forward to the letter.
x

Jean - thanks for the support

AWONI - well I have been busy with the job, it's true and also 'stuff'. Miss you too

Blu - it's lovely to be thought about - thank you

Scarlet - the 'being happy in Kent and with my job' wasn't a lie - I'm glad to be back in the UK. In fact I'll be doing an update about my job very soon

HDT - what a coincidence - I tried to look at your blog today and found that you had removed it. Oh it's been a long time since you and I chatted. Lots happened as you can tell from this. Hugs to Henry - and one for yourself too

Dedene - glad to be back and will catch up on all blogs very soon

Fran - thank you very much

Ayak - it's good to be back amongst the blog friends for whom I've come to really have so much affection and respect.

Fi - here's to some cyber therapy - and quick!

hello softy - yes, this is a very difficult time, no kidding

French Fancy... said...

e - thanks for the message via fly. It's funny how sometimes we can't leave comments on certain blogs. It often happens to me when I try to comment on Ayak's Turkish blog. Blogger blips

Gosh, this was a shock... I'm so sorry. Email me if you want to talk at all, hugs from your real life friend.

I am so sorry for your news, dear Julie. Adversity, they say, makes us stronger. And it does. But you must give it time. Having been there, my heart goes out to you.

French Fancy... said...

Val - thank you sweetie

Ian - Lovely message Ian - thanks

cheshire wife said...

I am very sorry to read this news. I have been AWOL so am not up to date with happenings in Blogland. I hope that we can keep your spirits up.

Reasons said...

So sorry. I know it's difficult to share stuff like this in blogland. I will be thinking of you and hoping things aren't too hard to handle. Suspect you are a strong cookie but feel things deeply. Life is so bloody full of ups and downs. Do take care. xx

A Woman Of No Importance said...

Still thinking of you and sending you a warm snowflake that will melt in your palm x

e said...

Just popped in and wondering how you are doing...It is freezing here and getting late. I wish you sweet dreams!

French Fancy... said...

CW - I am still a bit behind catching up on my favourite blogs - to tell the truth, sometimes I just can't bring myself to get online. I mean to visit you all but don't actually get there

Reasons - yes, you've got me to a T I reckon. Life is never easy, not for very long.

AWONI - thank you for lovely thoughts


e- and the same to you, sorry I've not popped in yet. I'm a bit lacklustre really.

Larry M. Brow said...

So, describe a typical day in your new world. Are you allowed to discuss your dear and not-so-dear companions at work?

lady macleod said...

Chin up! Things can always get better. You never know what's around the corner... Best wishes.

will said...

Hey Hey! Thought you were on blog sabbatical so I haven't stopped by that often. BTW, I deleted my blog but I'm planning a new one sometime after the new year.

You have my email so please stay in touch!

Bill

Jennysmith said...

Hi FF, sorry its taken so long to come back on here.

I am so sorry about the end of your marriage. I hope this blogging type thing will help you through it and everything.

But, why, oh, why, do I feel a sting of envy?

Bless you, take care

Tim Atkinson said...

Welcome home... and there always is and always will be. A welcome, that is. Sorry to hear your news, but glad to see you back here.

Delana@dujour said...

Dearest Julie, I have been away. OMG, what a terrible time to be away. You have friends. Know that. There are no words that I can give you...except time and friends. That's all I know. I hope we will hear from you soon.

Ms Scarlet said...

Despite everything, I hope you have a Happy Christmas and a much better New Year.
Sxxxxx

Ken Devine said...

Hi Julie
It's Christmas Eve and I know you probably won't need a reminder, but I just wanted to wish you a Happy Christmas anyway.

marc aurel said...

Incroyable!
I've been blogging less and I thought we were all, (apart from willow), getting a bit tired of it. What a surprise your news is. You sound all right and I fervently hope you are. Big blogohugs. Don't stop telling us about your work in that elegant mansion. My mother's wealth is being used up in a nice place in Sussex. She is blissfully out of it, but as healthy as a horse. She may outlive me. Again, I hope you are well and look forward to your news here.

Hadriana's Treasures said...

Nice to see you over at mine, FF. If we lived nearer I'd suggest going for a coffee. The Carry On films have been on TV over Christmas and I've been looking out for your Dad's. Not seen it yet (so far) but will keep on looking.

I saw the Carry on Cleo and they are more clever than I remember them to be. Here's to a good year for us both. :) Hxx

natural attrill said...

Hello,
I havent looked at your blog for months and months, and for no particular reason, just happened to click on it today.
I hope you are ok and happy living back in the UK.
Good luck with everything.
Penny.

Gosh I had no idea

Angie Muresan said...

What? I am shocked! And I am so sorry. Sending you a ton of hugs.

Eleonora Baldwin said...

Oh Julie.

I missed you. But I thought "she's happily busy with her new life in Kent" ... Sorry to find out it is not.
And I'm touched by your courage in sharing it here.

Sending all my love and support,
Lola xx

Ayak said...

I know you don't like awards but there's one for you over at mine anyway xxx

Larry M. Brow said...

And then . . . ?

A Woman Of No Importance said...

To let you know that you are not forgotten about and I miss you. We miss you. And the bichons!

I hope you are looking after yourself and that things are going well for you, ma belle, Julie! xxx

LOVE TO YOU FROM GRAND PRAIRIE, TX!!! Miss you girlie!

Lola said...

Dearest FF,

Just popped by to thank you for stopping by – apologies it's been a bit long but been away and so busy lately.

We haven't forgotten you - we miss both you & the bichons.

Do hope things are going well for you - take care,

XOXO Lola & Nora:)
