June 27th, 2007 My Holiday Reservation !!

After work i went to do my old lady friends hair … I cut Marjies hair then went next door to perm Winnies hair … My friend Morag with whom i make my holiday reservations telephoned as i was still at the old ladies she arranged to call me back …
So then it was a mad dash for me to get home !! I had spoken with Morag a couple of times to see what was available … there wasn’t much … Cuba ; Dominican Republic ; Greece and Spain … I had thought about it but not for too long and decided that what it was going to cost me i would have an all inclusive holiday in Cuba … A country i had thought about but never imagined i would be able to see …

So i got more or less the last hotel available in Cuba … I had a look on the internet and i have to say it looks fabulous … and right on the beach which i am very pleased about :) So Wednesday 4th July i am off to Cuba for two weeks !!

We had a few drinks in the garden and chatted out there until about 9pm … It was great !!

June 6th, 2007 Out For Sunday Dinner With David And Sarah

On Sunday David and Sarah came to take me out for dinner… They arrived about 4pm which was nice and it gave David time to sort some things out on the computer for me … downloading my pics and my msn … We also sorted some personal issues i needed help with clarifying … and i was happy that they agreed with me on the decisions i’d made.

We left about 7pm to go the pub/restaurant … I had prawn cocktail to start, Sarah had warm brie and David had garlic cheese bread … We all had the sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce … mine was ok but again they overcooked Davids, so he wasn’t happy… I had the ice cream desert again Sarah had chocolate cake (i think) and David had cheesecake ;)

June 6th, 2007 The Morning After

I woke up the next morning still livid about the events the night before … I got all his things out the bedroom and piled them up outside and went in the lounge Hamada was still sleeping … I woke him up and told him to get up and get out … “Where i go it’s the morning?” He asked … I just said “yes it’s the morning you are lucky i didn’t put you out last night now get up and get out !!”… The love had gone i had no feelings and i certainly wasn’t putting up with someone who had no regard or respect for me and was sending me crazy with his mind games and lies.
He dragged his heels and tried to prolong his getting ready but i wasn’t having it … Eventually he got his things together … He arrived here with nothing he was going away with hell of a lot !! … I closed the door after him and on the hell i’d been going through.

Then about 5pm i recieved a telephone call from one of Hamadas friends … He sa id he’d just come back from Egypt and heard the news … He said a few things about Hamada how he’d lied to him also … He told me he hadn’t lent him £900 he lent him £300 the rest had come from his brother … His father hadn’t disowned him he’d telephoned him many times … how many other lies had he told ?

June 6th, 2007 After The Breakdown

Hello folks … Yes it’s been a long time again … Sorry i haven’t been up to writing again since my last entry … Sooooo much has happened since then and it’s been like a rollercoaster ride of emotions … One day feeling happy and relaxed another day sobbing my heart out then the days i feel nothing just a numbness … And so it goes on but today i decided i would take the time out and get writing …

Since my last entry … I’d given my husband a choice again that he either accept my offer of a flight home or move out but i had the same excuse from him “what about the money i owe?” … he’d told me he had borrowed £900 i was mortified but told him it wasn’t my problem … I had told him before he went on his courses and ventures that the marriage was over … So i told him that he’d have to go back to Egypt and get a job and pay the money back from there … But he refused …So i said you will have to move out then as i can’t live under these circumstances … I asked for my keys back … The stress of everything was making me so ill i would rather have died than continue living like that.

I came home after a lovely afternoon out Hamada was sleeping on the sofa … All this was driving me crazy … When he woke up i told him to get off the sofa so i could sit on it … After his dinner he went out then i couldn’t find the keys … when i phoned he said he wanted to shut the door but he hadn’t shut the door … I was sick of his mind games … I took the keys back when he returned … Then when i went to retire to bed i couldn’t find my keys !! I searched everywhere every room every cupboard and draw every nook and cranny … They were no where to be found … I said if you have hidden them and are lying there watching me you have had it … He denied any knowledge and why would he take them ?

But he had taken them … I found them in the toe of his trainer … He said i must have dropped them … Ha hello he’d been out in the trainers with a big bunch of keys in the toe … I told him that was it and he was leaving first thing in the morning …
