Just read your post and .... how cooool! I've been in controlling relationships and you are best off out of them, but you don't realise it at the time, when you are finally out of them thats why the realisation hits you (well, it did me anyway!) - you go girl! And I hope you decide what colour scheme you want soon! x

This post makes me SO HAPPY I could cry 
A red couch sounds like loads of fun! No need to choose the oclor scheme now...have fun dreaming about it (I'm right there with ya!)
People generally do not change...ep. after 10 years. But I'm glad to see that it came out now as before...it DOES make it easier.
Yippee! New guy!   He'd better be FABULOUS or he's not good enough for Miss Tina! (But I believe in you and trust ya...and you sound so happy...so he must be great!)
If you ever decideyou wanna share with us about him...we're def all ears  But if not that's cool too
Tina you ROCK! Stay happy *hug *
Love ya!

Don't you love having your decisions reinforced! And well done sorting stuff out with your Mum...parents can be a pain about relationships sometimes.
What's the Ikea couch's name? I love Ikea and was browsing their website earlier. Si and I want their corner couch bed when we've got more money!

Yes I do! I know I'm right and feel great!
The couch is the red KLIPPAN loveseat. It's so sexy! 
Thanks Linz.

Great news!!! {{{{{HUGS!!!}}}} "Been there, done that, NEXT!" Truer words have never been spoken!! Just think, your taste will improve with every boyfriend, so why not have lots!! Then the last one in line will be the best!! (I explain this to BF when he gets freaked about my paramours! Works every time! )
You're a STAR, Tina and deserve to be treated that way!

missed the breaking up post but wanted to tell you that I am so happy for you to have taken back control of your life.
Stay with the "excited about my new life" vibe....can't wait to see pics of the new apartment..will have to look up the couch too, so you went with the red colour scheme in the end. I saw an indian throw thing at the weekend with reds navy and mellow yellow in it and thought it would look cool as a wallhanging against your bright yellow walls....see I think of you all the time! (and am interior design obsessed )

Glad you're mom finally get's it!! I know for me, even though I'm an adult, I always feel better when mom is more understanding and supportive.
So, what else have you bought? Anything fun?
Yes, it's nice to get that reassurance isn't it. You definately made a wise decision and he just keeps confirming it!
I hope this new guy treats you like a queen!

I always need/want my mom's support. What daughter doesn't.
I haven't bought anything else except for a hammer, a screwdriver, picture hooks and a plant for my desk at work. But I have $500 to use at Ikea this paycheque so it's just a matter of time now. I wonder how long they take to deliver things?
I definitely made the right decision!

Red couches rule! Ikea will run out of them soon!
You need a SEXY red couch too Ruchie! You would look so great lounging around on it. Your husband would like that too.

Hi Tina,
I was so glad to read your post and that everything seems to just keep getting better for you! I'm really happy to hear you got some stuff straightened out with your mom, that must make it so much easier to have the support of your mom. It's awesome that you could talk to her about it and now she is being a lot more understanding, what a big stress reliever!
As much as I was like 'grrrr!!' to hear about the chips and the water, I think you're right that it's great to have something to solidify your commitment to leaving.
Isn't buying new stuff awesome?? We had such a blast, we got a lot of stuff at IKEA and we LOVE it. We looked at that couch that you are thinking of getting!! I think the one we looked at was blue, but we saw the red one too! The couch we got was brown, and we got a rug and a coffee table too.. it was much fun! Well, until the delivery guy smashed a hole in our ceiling, watch out for those delivery guys!!
I'm so glad you are having such a good time right now and I'll count down the days with you!
***big hugs***

I never considered leather myself until I learned it's good for people with dust alleries. Anything to feel good! Plus I find it classy and elegant...my version of "sexy"

Hey Steph! You went on an Ikea shopping spree too? How fun! What couch and rug did you get, send me a link, ok! Well, if you have time that is.
I'm glad my mom's ok now. And that you-know-who will never change.
I hope you're doing well too Steph!

Glad it's all going so well Tina. I've come to learn that a leopard may camouflage (sp?) his spots but never change them. You've done the right thing. Hang in there you'll be in your new place in no time! Keep the updates coming!

Glad to hear that things worked out with your mom. A girl needs her mom when times are tough. I love the couch picture. You will have so much fun decorating your new apartment. As for the new someone good luck and hope the old someone stops being so obsessive over things. (at least until you move out!)

I'm so excited for you!! I'm sure it helps your mind too to know that your mom is now at least a little more understanding - and I'm sure you'll be fine financially.
And don't you just love when you're still not sure you made the right decision deep down or not and then something happens and it totally solidifies your decision - you are so doing the right thing and now you 110% know it!
I was thinking of you the other day because I was Pottery Barn and they've got their spring stuff out and they had a beautiful setup of a living room that was beautiful and it was all based around yellow with this fabulous yellowy-green and white print with tannish furniture. It was beautiful and something I would totally love to have. There are so many possibilites for you and your yellow room!
Okay well I'm glad you're doing so well and keep up the good work!!

Hey Brit!
Yes, my mom's approval means a lot to me. And being 110% sure that he'll never change is a great feeling!
I wish we had Pottery Barn in Canada. I look at their web site and drool...not fair!
I wonder if their web site would show their spring line with yellow walls? I will look when i get to work. Official business. he he
Thanks and I hope you're doing well too!
