The builder, my first husband, was caught by his wife, cheating again. Thus proving the old adage of a leopard never changing his spots. I have no idea what became of the man who put me in hospital in Tenerife. I don't know about Katie's father as she stopped contacting him at the age of 17. The thieving solicitor, lost his law firm because he was caught "Borrowing" from the client account, so no change there. And I know I live rent free in my first husband's head as he's still sees himself as a 'Victim'. Honestly you couldn't make it up could you? Happily, I am completely indifferent to all of them. They don't live in my head...until I had to recall the details of my relationships for this series....and now it's done. I'm also not bitter about any of it but prefer to see it as a learning period [albeit difficult] that made me into the person I am today. Much love to you and yours darling, Imogen. xxx🩷

@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc As entertaining as your vlogs/life story is, there is so much trauma. I did wonder how your daughter was affected, because no child is immune to ugliness in the home. Good on you for finding a keeper, particularly the latter years of life when you truly need peace, because life is wearing on all of us for the most part. The BBC needs to pick this up as a limited episode series, people would be gob smacked at your resilience.

He was such a kind soul 🙄 (not). xxx

I can't find the message so perhaps RUclips kept it in the 'Held' part of your messages.

❤️ Merci

Thank you Wade, you are very kind. ☺️

Error:should read “no doubt”😊

Welcome Carole! How lovely it is meeting you here on this channel! Have a wonderful day, much love Imogen xxx🩷

Thank goodness I'm not the only one Tracy! Much love, Imogen xxx🩷

Thank you so much Rock Queen! Much love, Imogen xxx🩷

And I can’t wait to start learning! It’s going to be great! 😊 ♥️

Goodness darling, you are so right on all counts. I only wish that the doubting ourselves phase of our lives could be over quicker so that we became stronger earlier! Much love, Imogen xxx🩷

Excellent! Let’s all get into print on demand together! Let’s face it…if I can learn then everyone can!☺️ xxx

And you too John!

I just thank goodness that it’s over. However we’ve now started finding things that are going wrong so we’re having to get a new builder in to fix things xxx

By the way, I am new here and I love hearing you speak. You have a smooth voice & I love the way you express yourself. So delightful !

Oh thank you so much darling. Welcome to our little bit of RUclips world 🌍 xxxx

To quote a film I once watched “Build it and they will come.” ☺️♥️ One can only hope darling xxx

And why not darling? If it works then there’s no point in trying to fix it! Well done 👏🏻 you! ☺️♥️

Oh bless you darling, let’s all learn together! We might have been scammed by the government but we’re all still fighting!!! ♥️ xxx

Thank you darling! Now all I have to do is get painting 🖼️ ☺️ xxx💖

Oh Kim, you’re at your most important right here and now! It’s completely up to you if you run with it! You go Gurl as they say in America!

@ thank you so much, lovely lady!!!

Kim, welcome to our little corner of RUclips World 🌍! It’s so lovely to hear from you! xxx

Well darling, iI figured out that if I can learn (with my addled brain) then ANYONE can learn it and yes, who couldn’t do with a little more money coming in, even if it’s just to treat our grandchildren! 🥰 Hugs to you darling, Imi xxx

Me neither darling but I’m looking forward to seeing what it entails and learning about it. Much love Imi xxx

Thank you so much Urbanmeister! I’m really looking forward to learning something new …at a slower pace 😊

It does doesn’t it! ♥️

I hadn’t thought of that! I was initially thinking about typographical art xxx

Thank you James! I’m hoping that if I can get a grip of it then others will too. I will be asking all the questions that other newbies would ask. Interesting times ahead! Have a wonderful day too Imi

@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc Yes, that's the trick - ask plenty of questions. You're never too old to learn when you're having fun.

Good afternoon Kelly! I can honestly tell you that if I manage it then you will too darling ☺️♥️ xxx

I’m certainly excited at the prospect of learning something new and at a slower, more friendly basis than most of the fast paced tutorials out there. xxx

Exactly! If you’re finding this video difficult to hear, I did actually re record it in my study xxx

@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc I can hear fine - I meant the lack of information was infuriating! sorry

@ didn't think you were moaning darling, it's just that someone else asked me to rerecord it in my study as they couldn't hear me xxx

Thank you darling! I. did actually write them all out in the description, so you could copy and paste them onto a document and print it out if you wanted? xxx

Good morning darling! I did actually write them all out in the description, below the video so you could copy and paste them onto a document and print it out if you wanted? I have no proof that my home made kefir is helping with my gut microbiome but from all that I've read and the research I've done, home made kefir contains so many more active good things in it than the shop bought stuff so I'm content with that. I drink mine unsweetened, how about you? I am about to embark on something new to earn some passive income. Jo Willdsmith is going to teach me how to do Print On Demand or POD for short. We'll be making videos about it and as I find new things quite challenging to learn, she's going to have her work cut out.😳 That said, I've eventually learned how to RUclips, edit and talk to my camera [that last one is still a work in progress] so I'm looking forward to learning how I can make a little bit more money for my cause whilst I'm sleeping and doing other things. It's exciting! Love from moi en Surrey xx

@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc Thanks Imi. I should have checked that first.... Sorry. Sleep tight xx

Thank you for your comment Hannah....but I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about! 😂😳

I am having a lovely day John. I hope you are too!

You are so welcome darling girl. When I get comments from our lovely Ladies Club members, it takes me back to when I was in toxic relationships and all the angst and worry that came with it. I just hope that those out there that need this video will find it. It stays in my mind long after I have replied and hit send. Much love to you darling, Imi xxx

`Hello Sweetheart, thank you so much for your comment. I do hope that those that need to hear it will find it. I know I could have done with something like this all those years ago when i was going through terrible times. Have a lovely week too darling. Much love Imi xxxx

Thank you Christy for such a lovely comment. I do love my garden that's for sure. When I am out there nothing else matters other than sorting out the bit of earth in front of me at that time. It's so therapeutic and brings me such joy. I'm still taking the methylene blue and I can definitely notice a difference in my ability to recall things from years ago! Much Love Imi xxx

Hello Debbie thank you for your comment and also your subscription! I'm afraid that my art supply addiction was in full flow when I purchased all of this stuff! However, since doing my first decluttering video I haven't purchased any new paints at all you'll be surprised to hear! Instead I'm now hooked on buying things for my RUclips channel. Each time I see a bit of equipment that I think might improve my ability to make good content for my viewers I have to buy it! I think I've replaced one addiction for another 🙄 Perhaps I will make a video about it...although maybe not, otherwise my darling boy will realise what I'm doing and give me 'The Look'! 😂😳 . As far as the art cupboards go, when the studio was finished I had a carpenter come in to build them to my requirements. The doors are MDF, and I painted them in Sandersons 'Newby Green' and so I didn't have to have handle on the doors I had a push opener for one door on each of the cupboards which was attached to the shelf. That way when I push the left hand door, it it springs open and then I can open the right hand door. I ordered these: Altro Flat Bookcase Strip - 1829 x 19mm - Bright Zinc Plated. These are the brackets that the shelves rest on: Altro Heavy Duty Flat Bookcase Clip - Bright Zinc Plated - Pack of 10 I ordered them from Ironmongerydirect.co.uk The bookshelf strips need to be rebated into the upright sides of the bookshelves so they sit flush. This allows you to position all of your shelves to suit all of your paints and other paraphernalia. The glass mirrored doors on the other side are 4mm glass mirrors [to reduce the weight] . I only put one small grab handle on each of the mirror doors so that they appear almost invisible. I hope this helps Much love to you and yours Imi xxx

Thank you so much Donna...I must admit it does resemble a bit of an Art Store doesn't it! 😳 xxx

@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc It is BEYOND any art store I've ever seen...it is ELEGANT. I'm sure your darling boy loves it too! ;-)

Happy new year Waderivers99!

@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc I am throughly enjoying your videos, you are so delightfully English. I wish we were neighbors, I am a writer, you an artist, I'm sure we could talk all day, but then, we might not get anything done. Have a wonderful day...back to my ink quill.

I would never go back either. Once bitten twice shy etc. 🙂

Thank you! I'm still taking the methylene blue and have noticed massive improvements in my memory so am so glad I watched Chase Hughes' video! xxx

Thank you John for your kind comment. I agree with you about Dawlish although I never got to eat seafood at The Anchor pub ☺️

'you are beautiful...' Completely agree. A kind and accurate post.

Hello Karen, I designed the cupboards myself and got a carpenter to make them on site. I purchased SKU: 153629 Altro Flat Bookcase Strip - 1829 x 19mm - Electro Brass Plated and the relevant supports albeit ours are chrome in colour. They have to be sunk in to the wood to work properly. They allow all the shelving to be in custom positions, which is great!😊 The blue handle less doors have a push opening and the mirrors have only one small handle on one door. The mirrors are 4mm thick to avoid being too heavy. I hope this helps darling xxx

'I met my darling boy' - because you deserved to do so and you were ready for this. An excellent response, Patricia.

@ I was very lucky. It was so unexpected, he was mourning the loss of his wife after a long happy marriage. He loves dogs and asked if he could walk with us and we were friends for two years with no romance whatsoever. Suddenly, unbelievably, we realised we really cared for each other. Eight years later and he is such a good man, so different to the marriage I endured.

What a beautiful story Patricia. I’m so happy for you both ♥️♥️

@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc As am I.

Just a rant - understandable.

@TheUrbanmeister Thank you. I just remember people being more *normal* and you didn't need an appointment to see them

Hello James, In the last 20-30 years people have come to believe that it’s their’Right’ to behave in whatever manner suits them at the time. There’s little to no thought given to the other person in the relationship, no matter how many years they’ve been together. When they’re confronted they reply “Well if you don’t trust me then you shouldn’t be here . But I can’t tell you why I’ve got a box of condoms…you just have to have to trust me” I wouldn’t expect anyone to stick around for that would you?

@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc Hello Imi No, I wouldn't expect anyone to put up with entitlement or immaturity. You're right about people feeling they can behave however they like. I see it often. Behaving like children. Even basic manners...non existent... Strangely enough, I did date a woman (I use the word woman here instead of lady) recently. Either low intelligence or limited vocabulary, her swearing isn't music to my ears. Seemed perfectly fine behaviour to her, though.

@@TheNumber1LadiesClub-lf9yc I absolutely agree, Imi. The phrase 'victime blaming' comes to mind. As does coercive control. Both reprehensible. An excellent response.

Thank you so much Urbanmeister. I wanted to deal with this subject in particular, as I have become only too aware of comments left by my contributors facing this in their lives right now. It has played on my mind ever since .

Thank you darling...now all I need is to start painting again! 😳 xxx

Thank you Lina, thankfully those days are now behind me. It really is true when people say This Too Shall Pass. xxx

Thank you darling xxx

I agree that having a great husband makes life better...if you're married. I would rather have my darling boy than any of the three disastrous marriages I've had before. However, I was happy and content before I met him and I think that is the turning point for true happiness.

I have been known to pick up bark from a tree I've found on the ground, bring it home, wash it and then iron it flat so that it will go onto a piece of art...I got a lot of mocking from my children for that particular action 😂 Be careful about your trip to Hobby Lobby...it's so full of temptations! Much. love Imi xxx
