Evening lovlies x

I have only just managed to spend a bit of time catching up on your posts this week x

So many emotions from you wonderful ladies dealing with court, been judged by others and generally feeling low, so my point of this is to remind you all just how incredibly strong and resilient you are , no matter where you are on this journey remember you will get through this, we cannot control what others think or say but who are they to judge, get those big girl knickers on, hold your head high and try as best as you can to just take time for your self wellbeing xx

My week has been busy, my hungry catappiler is doing well, my Daughter baked her first banana cake in there own home, my eldest is away with his friends for the weekend, and tomorrow I have my furbaby staying for the weekend, so some lovely walks ahead xx

No matter how difficult this journey is just remember we are all here for each other

Love sent as always xx

P.s I hope your long weekend brings some enjoyable moments for you all xx

Hello friday check in

Glad your getting some time with your furbaby Upset Mum



This week not too bad. Not been well and it has made me miserable, but been out walking after work today which always makes me feel better. Booked a holiday for next year which will be first holiday in years, so really looking forward to that. It is my wedding anniversary this week. Not sure to celebrate or not. Asked my OH what he wanted to do but he just avoided the question. Not sure why. I have a few days off after t working this weekend on some OT as worried about money. So a mixed bag for me but i am feeling better than last week which is the main thing.



Hope everyone has a good weekend. X

Hi everyone im currently away visiting parents who ive not seen for four years due to covid money and the knock, however decided i needed to see them and booked the flights, getting lots of rest and support from them as are my 3 children, we all have a very close bond despite the distance. oh had to stay home as wasnt allowed to come due to ongoing investigation. Its been a very hard year for us all, and feel like ive been the glue to hold every1 together. Knowing when i get back on that plane its all gonna start again is hard but hey ho, keep going for childrens sake.

Hope you all giving yourself some self love

Hi everyone - our last summer holiday week with the grandchildren and it's been great. Mixed weather but have been out doing lots of things, including seeing the Spongebob musical. I read a review which said adults would enjoy it most if they took hallucogenic drugs first and I now know what they meant as it was bonkers but we all loved it.

We are approaching a tricky time as we still don't know where our grandchildren will be living when school starts, due to our son not being able to look after them and their mother being assessed too because of her mental health isssues. Think of us next week as we have a viability assessment in case they need to live with us, although we appreciate that their best outcome would be to stay where they have been living and where they love school etc. Our SW is on holiday until the weekend so it's very last minuteish and I don't cope well with not knowing things. In fact yesterday I felt awful, very tearful and as if I might lose it completely. Today, however I feel much more OK and back to normal. Does anyone else have these extreme swings? It bothered me as in the past I've had low times but it's been a steady rise and fall, not this extreme change.

rainyday - Yes - I think these rollercoaster emotions are normal, sometimes I can feel down in the dumps (hence my post today), then other times quite optimistic and positive.

an horrendous uncertain time for you by the sounds of it, my thoughts are with you x
