Just dropped my son off at school and I am now enjoying a cappuccino at Costa by myself.

My son cried on the first day, but he now loves it.

My girls are at nursery and I'm just trying to make the most of the day, lots of self-care, as I will go back to work next week.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend xx

Hi all

I think the week has gone so fast. OH had a letter from the police about bail extension. Deflated him slightly but he knew all the details of it. I think seeing things in black and white makes it real again when we're just plodding on trying to get through each day. Bail extended until March 2025.

U M hope the visit goes well and look forward to reading all about it.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend x

Hi all

Upset - hope your visit went well and look forward to hearing about it

Hp - enjoy your time while your son's at school. I remember going for a coffee after dropping my girls at school when they were younger.

Back at work on Monday, but only managed 2 days as I had a stomach bug. I had 2 days off and only went back today even though I wasn't feeling 100% as I had too much work to do. We were supposed to be going to see Joe Pasquale on Wednesday though, but was feeling too poorly which I was really disappointed about.

My daughter has been taking part in pantomimes with the drama group she is part of but now she is 16, she can audition with the adults and hopefully she'll get a good part instead of being in the chorus. She auditioned last night which went well. She also had her induction at college this week and after the first day she looked really shattered, bless her.

Hello Friday Check in,

This time of year I'm thinking about the kids heading back to school. I'm also thinking of all the moms with kids big and small. I hope the visit with HC goes well. The thought of a cappuccino after dropping off the kids sounds so peaceful.

My week has gone well. The kids all went back to school this week without any missed buses or forgotten lunches, so that's good. My mood has been fairly level and I've strung together 4 days without crying, a new record. I had coffee with a local wife I met who has a similar situation. I'm so grateful for her friendship. My husband is approaching his plea hearing date and the end of the month which I haven't decided if I'll attend or not. I'm just hoping I get a feeling closer to o the date.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hi Friday check in gang

Today has been a good day. Back to work, who have been really fab. Apparently me being off has had them realise how much work I do. Child is back to school and settled in with new teacher and class. Had my second therapy session which was really positive and although im still not sleeping properly the nightmares and insomnia seems to have settled into just restless disturbed sleep.

Ive also renewed my passport! Im determined to try get away from it all even if it is just for a weekend break; give little one something positive to look forward to.

Sending atrength to get you all through the weekend, so we can face what next week brings us.

Hello friday check in,

Enjoyed my line dancing this week, went to more classes than I usually do as I have been off work. Dancing just makes me forget everything. Nothing much to report really.

My furbabies give me love which i appreciate every day.

My bedroom which has been in various stages of decoration since May, is nearly finished, so this week my new furniture is coming. This will give me my own space which I am so looking forward to.



Going to a charity afternoon tea, where we take our own food, lol, but it has entertainment. So a few hours out of the house.

Back in work next week, nothing much happening. Love to you all this weekend and week. X

Good evening Friday check in, my week has gone smoothly which is always a relief and something I no longer take for granted.

The weather here is awful and doesn't look as it's going to improve so it'll be wet weather activities with my son and his children this weekend.

Today I volunteered at a charity cafe where once a week local services including homelessness, housing, drug and alcohol recovery, youth trust etc provide a drop in service. It's something I used to do in my 'previous life' and it felt really good to be back.

Hi All

Another week over, time is going so quickly. Mixed bag of emotions still after last Friday's families 'meeting'. It's still very raw, just trying to push all the negative thoughts to one side.

OH is very emotional this week, lots of tears. It's hard seeing this man becoming a man I don't recognise some days. Hopefully today will bring a smile to his face, he is meeting a friend for a drink. I do worry if he will see anyone he knows and have read his court appearance in the paper.

Take care all xxxx

Had quite a good week overall. Stressed on last weeks catch up as I didn't hear from my son for a week - there's me advising people not to 'overthink' and that's exactly what I did!!!!!!!

He was fine and we've made new arrangements so hopefully I don't miss calls.... sympathies with those ladies waiting for prison calls.

have a good weekend ladies x
