Afternoon lovlies x

The sun is out it's been a beautiful day, a little chilly but a glorious spring day!

I so love the lighter evenings,

This week has been quiet uneventful apart from work, I was away yesterday and had an overnight stay at a hotel ( work related) it was a really long day and finally got to bed at midnight! I am usually in bed by 8pm latest,my exciting life lol, was up at 6 then had breakfast ( something I never do) then had a pleasant drive home

Spoke to HC , he is as always doing ok, no visit this weekend and no furbaby however if the weather stays kind I may do a bit of spring time gardening

I am just relaxing with a latte and trying to find something to watch on the tv, thankfully my chest infection is finally showing signs of actually clearing up so feeling so much better

I hope you all have a good weekend and for those of you who are struggling remember we are here so just reach out to us xxx

Love sent as always xx

Glad to hear you're seemingly on the mend :) I haven't posted on here for a while. Just been trying to get on with life. My person got his date for crown today. Three weeks today! Suddenly it becomes all the more real. I too am glad that spring seems to be on its way. Lighter nights are welcome. Take care everyone xx

I haven't posted for a while but today marks the 2nd anniversary of the Knock so I feel I want to say something. It feels like time has stood still for the last two years, well at least our lives feel like they are on hold for the time being until we're the other side of "this".

This time last year I remember thinking "will we have heard anything by Christmas"... well I'm thinking the same again this February. When oh when will we move on to the next stage?

I find it an odd dichotomy in that I desperately want to hear something from the police and move on to the next stage whilst desperately not wanting to hear anything as that means "status quo" ie both of us continuing to work and putting money in the bank. Dreading the next stage as at that point OH may lose his job and I might lose mine in collaterol damage. So in many ways, no news works in our favour.

Looking at things to feel good about, we had lovely blue skies where I am today and it almost (but not quite) felt like it could have been a lovely spring day. I'm watching closely for the daffodils and crocuses to start blooming that are growing along the main roads in our city. Seeing them come out into flower always makes me feel better.

Not much planned for the weekend. The usual household chores etc.

Hello Upset mum,

I also look forward to do some pre-spring gardening although that means me pointing at a gardener what to do, despite having a small garden, instead of doing it myself as I am always holding a baby and preoccupied of late , who is only getting heavier. I can't wait to fill the garden with toys this summer. A small goal and a ride on would be a start.

The baby is the cheekiest, most curious baby, who is always happy for as long as everything goes his way. Lately our baby and fur baby bonded extremely well and it's so much joy to watch them grow up together.

I hope everyone reading or contributing is well, and able to enjoy what's good despite the chaos underneath , that's how we survive it all. Xx

I'm feeling more anxious at the moment. Off to court again on Monday and just feel adrift at the moment. It presents with random tears and feeling shaky. It's hard just now because of the knowledge that there is nothing I can do right now, if my person gets a custodial then he does, anything else will be good luck (at least I feel) but there is so little I can do about it because after than I will be expected to travel home (other side of the country) and go back to work.

Fingers crossed that next week is better.

Hello Friday Check in,

I love hearing you all talk about spring and gardening and daffodils. I'm so jealous! I've got at another month of winter. But I plan to start some seedlings in the window so that I can at least start dreaming.

What's your favourite flower? I'm adding cutting flowers amongst the vegetables. So far I have zinnia, snapdragons, and Cosmo seeds.
