Afternoon lovlies x

We are here another week done x

My week at work has been good, I have today and Tuesday of so a nice long weekend x

So the house I currently live in we are having to move as my daughter and her boyfriend are moving and the landlord is selling, I have been looking at houses for the last 5 months and they have been expensive, searched on a popular site RM and then last week I looked at a site I haven't been on, the rent is cheaper than where I am, but the downfall was there were 7 others booked to see it, I so wanted it but I didn't build my hopes up, why would I risk getting good luck, then I got the call, they wanted me, I think she thought I was a crazy person as I started crying on the phone , this is a huge weight of my shoulders, today has been amazing, x

This week work has been good for me, it kept me focused.

I had a counselling session and I felt strangely calm after. I went walking on my day off with friends in the lovely sunny weather and had icecream after. Trying to just find a new normal. Another step closer this week to putting the house up for sale this will be traumatic so trying to remain postive and keep busy and focused on me and getting my life back.

Upset mum,

Great news and I'm very pleased for you.
I've had a busy week. Some frustrations..

Not trying to start a political debate but Brexit is and was a bad idea now we can't take my dog to France or stay the summer ourselves. (Costs in excess of £500 per visit!) Really frustrating. I didn't want to go anywhere without my dog, yet this may be the last holiday without restrictions imposed on my husband..

Big helpless hopeless sigh from me. That's all I feel that I've got left.

Thank you x and yes she will be, as much as I dont want to cut the apron strings I know I need to, she has been my rock throughout this journey, but for the first time in 3 years on this horrendous journey I know I have to start living again and today made me realise that I am worth something xx

Thank you Flower x

Omg really how can that be fair x

I have my Furbaby, she has been with me longer than my2nd husband, she is 13 but since covid she has been with my daughter every day as she works from home, and it will be unfair for me to take her with me, so a pleased as I am to have found a home it leaves me with a heavy heart xx

So chuffed for you Upset. It's hard when the youngsters fly the nest. I was gutted when my daughter left to live with her boyfriend (now husband). I gained comfort that she left on a happy note which is all we want for them at the end of the day.

not a bad week - carnt go into much detail but a massive olive branch handed to us..... took my breath away to be honest....

Glad to hear Upset Mum that you got your dream home. Though sad your furbaby cannot go with you.

My week has not been too bad. Worked most of it, that is what i do. Work ,long hours and play with my dogs. My diet has gone to pot and i got upset about it this week. There have been a few stresses going on at home and not losing weight when i should have done just was the icing on the cake. Two days of throwing my toys out of the pram, and will be back on it tomorrow. Had fun eating loads of chcoclate though. Not seen any friends so felt quite lonely but did a bit of retails therapy today.

And I have survived another week.

Smile - pleased for you something good happened.



for the first time in weeks I've felt ok ish. Not use to it with everything that's happened over the last few months so feel like I'm just waiting for the next bad thing to happen. But I'll take feeling ok as a positive week :-) xx

Wow that's amazing news ! You so so deserve it . My rent has shot up too it's a nightmare they want you to work work then die lol . I got SS off my back and rang them to gety side of the story straight (I put a post up last week what a nightmare week ) so this week better apart from a stinking virus . Hadva girls day with my daughter yesterday, hair , head massage , shopping and lunch . Was a great day to end the week . daffodil is it your fibro that is bad ? I feel your pain . I'm on a few meds that literally I couldn't function without I'm terrified of addiction too but doc gavee slow release for of analgesia so not side effects and easier to come off so hopefully this is an option.

Upset Mum, that's great news you've found somewhere affordable and that you like. The uncertainty emof somewhere to call home us very destabilising at the best of times.

Maybe somewhere fresh with turbo charge starting to live again, which you so. Ost definitely deserve!

Daffodil - I pretty much said this Everything is just 'ugh'. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and I'm sick and tired of listening to myself complain. To my parents, to a friend, to my work, thus making me feel even more fed up. Work is very busy and difficult at the moment, in someways it had been a solace but recently it's been bringing me down as much as this whole torrid situation. 'Prison wife' life is wearing me down.

I've taken myself off to spend the day by myself, on the beach where I picked up 20 pebbles 14 months ago and now only have 6 left to decorate.
