Afternoon lovlies x
And just like that its Friday already!
Hope you are all keeping ok, another busy week on the forum, some positives but also some hard journeys for many new people so just wanted to let you know you are not alone and we are all here to help and support you xx
A short week but also extremely busy, managed to catch up some recharge time,
Had Thursday and today off as looking after the furbaby until Sunday, my social butterfly daughter and her BF have a busy social life
HC is doing well, he is deep in his study on his next degree module still hasn't used his new towel I sent in as he said it smells so good and makes his cell smell so fresh so he is reluctant to use it for now (bless)
Picked up a new book to read so that is my plan for the weekend after the usual Saturday food shop routine, and of course some fresh muddy walks with her ladyship :-)
For those of you that have plans for the weekend enjoy some much needed self time
Love sent as always xx

Not a bad week - as per usual passed very quickly. Had a blip in the week.
On forum - I'd like to say a heartfelt thankyou to my good friend Upset for being there for me, during these times. Amazing how I reach immediately for her, as much as I love my family - no one understands like Upset xxxxxx Thankyou xxxxx
Son has been a busy bee in the gardens - so keeping occupied - he's even giving me tips now, who would have thought that..
Not a lot planned for the weekend, but that's not always a bad thing - hopefully time to chill & relax.

Fairly quiet week but small daily victories with his mental health - he got a new phone which does worry me (not gonna lie) but it's unlocked and there for me to check if I feel the need. Having it meant he could contact a couple of friends which I think has helped him.
I've arranged to start going back into the office next week, just for a couple of mornings to start with - been working from home since the knock and subsequent suicide attempt. Now he has a means of contacting me I feel a bit safer leaving him for a few hours. I feel I need some space and work have been amazing for which I am eternally grateful.
Youngest daughters car keeps breaking down so that's given him something to focus on - he even cleaned it for her today! It's going into the garage next week.
Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful weekend xx

Hello friday check in.
After working overtime all of last weekend and after 12 days in work in a row its now the weekend so really looking forward to it.
Tomorrow planning on going for a walk to my happy place, a very big hill, small mountain walk for me with my baby furbaby as I have 2 and one is less than 2 years old. But she is a lovely calm dog not like the older one who is mad as a hatter! Sunday, there are local road closures so i was planning on meeting friends at the beach, but i am not sure if that will happen. So lucky to live in a place near mountains and the beach.
Otherwise I have been fine. Been watching the Philip Schofield tv programme. I dont usually watch this type of telly, but started to watch and i was hooked. It really brought it home when his wife said how the hurtful comments about Philip hurt his family and how people dont care. It made me think on how we the family are treated. I have read commnets people have made about his wife, things like she is staying due to money etc. why in this day and age cannot people be nice. Why is the default is always nasty commnents. It shocks me when some one is kind or thoughtful, but it should not do that, you should always be kind. I have tried to do a good deed every day. I dont always manage it but i am trying.
I am planning on finishing my book, and finally sort my stuff to go in my new bedroom. Have not had the time due to work.
hope evryone has one nice thing to do this weekend. Xx

Good afternoon!
it's my first reply to a Friday check in. I feel like a guest. Daft emotion probably. But it's nice to have a space to talk about what's going on instead of keeping it all hush, so I'm trying to embrace the putting myself out there.
Lots of big emotions and questions this week. It's all still relatively fresh. Been checking in with the person daily and I don't think we've ever talked so much in our relationship.
Looking forward to a quiet weekend with my child and trying to do something for myself - haven't worked that out yet!

Hello Friday Check In xx
Quiet week here until today! OH got phone call from probation to ask why he didn't attend court today! His date for sentencing isn't for another couple of weeks. Probation also called solicitors who told them in no uncertain terms that they were wrong and not to call my OH back as he was very upset! And that they would talk to him to check he was ok. OH called me at work upset and stressed, luckily the solicitors called him a couple of minutes later.
It's made me so angry as they clearly made a mistake but they don't give a damn.
Sorry rant over, have a lovely weekend everyone. Hopefully it will be nice and dry xxx

It is such a worry with the MH side of things isnt it, I can understand your fears of him having a phone , there is software that can be installed for peace of mind, for him to just be able to be in contact with friends is also so valuable,
As much as you will worry about going back to a phased return to work it will allow you both to focus on something else other than this journey, hubby will be ok, and it's good that he is starting to do some bits like cleaning the car, small steps each day lovely and you will find the strength to get through this xx huge hugs sent xx

Ekk exciting times , clear any things you don't need, some nice candles, fresh bedding, it's your very own space to get into bed and finish of reading your book xx

Tough week for me. It's my wedding anniversary and I'm mourning the loss of my marriage and our old life (although I'm coming to realise it was all a lie anyway).
I'm struggling with pretending everything is normal to people who know nothing.
How do you get through this without becoming a cynical mess?!

How awful for you both x
The courts are so far behind and move and cancel hearings a lot of the time which is shocking, but like most of things on this journey nothing suprises us
Try not (easier said than done) to let it play on your mind over the weekend, hugs sent xx

I am so sorry, Anniversarys are incredibly hard arnt they, you morn for the life you had to the life you are now living,
It's not about been cynical, its about trying to rebuild, to take a step forward and not a step back as hard as it is
I used to say if only so many times, and was so lost in the grief of this journey brought about by my son, so a completely different situation to what you are going through,
I do hope you have some support around you to help you navigate to a way of coping and dealing with the huge changes ahead, you will get through this as hard as it is , xx
