Good afternoon lovlies x
Hope you are all doing as well as can be
For me another full on week at work, I am shattered , had a couple of 4am starts so I for one am pleased its Friday x
Had a good chat with HC last night, he is doing ok and keeping on top of his studies for his degree, it always calms me knowing he is ok
No visit this weekend but we do have a video call Monday
I actually managed to focus and do a bit of xmas shopping last night and managed to get a couple of bargains, hopefully get a few more bits tomorrow
I have the furbaby for the weekend so a couple of walks to look forward to
I may even push myself to put the tree up at some point (maybe lol)
Anyway that's enough about me and my week
I hope you all have something nice to look forward to over the weekend
Love sent as always xx

Upset, it sounds as if you need to find time this weekend to put your feet up and take a well deserved rest.
This quote spoke to me today so I thought I'd share it to remind everyone that you are enough.
"Quiet the voice telling you to do more and be more, and trust that in this moment, who you are, where you are at, and what you are doing is enough. You will get to where you need to be in your own time. Until then, breathe. Breathe and be patient with yourself and your process. You are doing the best you can to cope and survive amid your struggles, and that’s all you can ask of yourself. It’s enough. You are enough."

Hello Friday Check In
Upset, you have had a busy week and hope you can find sometime to put your feet up this weekend.
Ocean, thank you for sharing the quote. We have to remember we are enough x
Week has flown by, last meeting with OH solicitors to ask any questions about OH sentence etc. Solicitor said OH had handled the case with respect, remorse and has shown he has worked on himself to ensure this will not happen again. He then turned to me and said he was amazed by my strength and dignity. I've never seen myself like that during this time but was nice to hear this from someone else.
We too are going to put our tree and decs up this weekend. It will be the first Christmas with our rescue cat, she's only a little over a year old. I have a feeling the tree is going to become a new toy for her! Oh well only time will tell.
Enjoy the last couple of days of Nov before the mad rush for Christmas xxx

Hello Friday check in,
Nice to hear from you all, as always.
This week felt very long as I'm adjusting to single parenting. It's a lot of work keeping the house going and now my car is leaking oil. I miss having someone to take care of those things for me.
I did get a call from my husband today and he's been moved to the prison but not placed yet. He said things are very slow. He said the food was good so not sure what that says about my cooking. Ha!
I'm going to try to get lots of rest this weekend and I'm seeing a friend for coffee so that will be nice too.

Hello friday check in
Had a lovely weekend last Saturday as I went out for the day at a xmas market. I do love a xmas market. Going to a more local one tomorrow meeting up with my sister for lunch and cocktails. Been out with friends tonight. Also meeting a friend tomorrow night (more drinking & eating) and out on Sunday might to a quiz. Some people know some dont. But it is lovely to be out and about.
Nearly done the xmas shopping though I am bad at keeping going until xmas. With my new financial situation i should curb my present giving but find it so hard. Off to a German xmas market next weekend with a friend, so looking forward to that as well. Going for a long weekend.
At one of my line dancing lessons the instructor has asked me to help tutor the class. I feel really chuffed as this is something i have acheived myself. I still love the dancing but planning on trying a few new things in the new year. I am putting weight back on due to stress, so have to sort myself out in that area. I think my health is suffering, but a problem for another day.
Upset, I am glad you have your furbaby this weekend. I have not been out for a walk for a while, and though my furbabies get walked by OH i am missing taking them. Perhaps I will take them on Sunday. Lovely quote Ocean. Thank you
Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Xx

Hi ladies.
good and true quote Ocean, we have to do our best and have belief in our own strengths. It's so easy to callapse in this struggle we are faced with x
im ok i suppose, just a week full of frustrating and annoying niggles - bits & bobs needing to be fixed etc, they say 'it comes in 3's' - and more for me this week! Errrrr.......
Havent heard from the boy as yet this week. A quick one on Monday as the call went out for dinner and one wouldn't want to miss out on a meal of prison slop!!!!!!!
Hopefully the weekend will shape up a bit more cheery!
keep warm / my lovelies xxxxxx

Feeling meh this week tbh.
Car needs to go to the garage - probably going to cost plenty to fix.
Thought I had met a lovely bloke. Probably jumped in with both feet instead of taking it slowly. Seems like he is now backing off and the realisation that I'm probably on my own again has hit hard. It was so much fun whilst it lasted I suppose.
Not looking forward to Christmas at all.

Hi to all
Thankyou for all the support you have given me on my journey through hell.
As another week ends,I thought I'd check in.
Last week's sentence seemed to conclude our horrible court journey & brought sad relief. We all settled back into our daily lives. We bought the local papers each day,just in case. Then on Wednesday I started to get supportive messages & alerts from friends. The OIC had given a full interview to the press -photo & our street named. The gut feeling returned & the desire to hide/paranoia set in. The fall out has not been unbearable but there are vile comments from old school pupils.
When we told him about the press report,he had a really bad night & considered self-harming! He was ignored by the officers when he requested help. Fortunately we were visiting the next day & he had calmed down by then.
It has prompted us to look into making a move from the area we have brought our family up in. The family name is now tainted. ????
We will rise from the ashes!
I hope your weekend will be a good one & you can start to feel a little bit Christmassy.
