Afternoon lovlies x

The sun is shining but a slight chill in the Air, had to scrape the car this morning wasnt expecting ice on the windscreen :-)

Webb I am loving your new post something I will be following xx

Well my week at work has been full on 100 miles per hour it felt like! I am so grateful to have a few days to just recharge!

I picked the furbaby up after work today and the first thing I did when I got home was to get changed, grabbed her lead and headed to the fields ,the chill in the air, one foot in front of each other, and just walked taking in the beautiful surroundings, just what I needed

Had a lovely hour long catch up call with HC he is doing good, no visit again this weekend I have one next Saturday cannot wait to see him and as he said on the phone he is so looking forward to having crumpets and a cheese sandwich :-)

As always I hope you can all find a little something to do for yourself over the weekend

Love sent as always xx

Hello friday check in

No overtime for me this weekend so i feel like i am on holiday. But, i am getting all blocked up and have been fighting a virus all week. So i am crossing my fingers it does not turn into something as i want to go out and about. My daughter is back from Germany, so we had a lovely catch up and i have some german chocolate. She is very happy and it is nice to see.

Tomorrow might look at new sofa for the lounge, (OH broke old one by sleeping on it for a year) and a chair for my bedroom. Exciting stuff. And hoping to to read my book and chill. Will take the furbaby out at some point probably Sunday if i am well enough. Otherwise uneventful but i will get a lie in two days in a row so its a win for me.

Glad you had a lovely catch up with HC Upset mum and having your own firbaby this weekend, how lovely.

Still not had a talk with OH he is avoiding it and trying delaying tactics so i will have to sort that out. Need a talk as we have both put our head in the sand and its three years in a couple of months. But on another thread it was mentioned that the head says no but the heart says yes to staying. I think that has hit the nail on the head how i feel. How to resolve it is another matter.



love to you all. Xx

Hello Friday check in!
Upset - your walk with fur baby sounds like bliss! And it's good to know that HC is looking forward to crumpets!
Webb - I too will be following and contributing to your weekly weigh in! It might just help me shift some of the weight I have gained!



This weekend will mostly consist of caring for my elderly mum who came out of hospital today. I do love her dearly, but it's quite draining. She lives alone and I do what I can to help but never feel it's enough. I've not told her what has happened - she would be so worried and upset for me and I just can't put her through that. So I smile and carry on - OH is still on the scene so I have his support - I suppose we are supporting each other through this.

I will try and make some time for me though - I just started a new crochet blanket and it's very pretty - I'm loving it so far.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and stress free weekend and week ahead xx

Hello Friday Check In

Havent posted much lately as mentally have been struggling but there is a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Glad to hear HC is doing well Upset, I enjoy reading how well he is coping.

Got a very quiet weekend planned but may look to book a holiday, want to go aboard but not sure what country has restrictions as it's a bit of a minefield.

Plus I miss my family terribly and hopefully one day they may reach out to me but for now I need to rebuild.

Take care all xxx

Hi all.......

Hope everyone is coping - and finding some sort of a path through their fog. What a journey we face together.......

My lad - good - lots of work outdoors in the sunshine, which is good - his cellmate I think tends to dominate the TV so he's glad of time out. The gardening team sound quite a social bunch so they have a laugh....

Me - I'm fine, settling well with my changes at work. Spending time with family today, which I'm looking forward to.

So hugs sent out to everyone x

Hello all

Stressful week for me - arguing with probation officer (not doing that anymore - not enough spoons and I don't want to make things worse for him)

We have him "home" now, which is wonderful, other than the NFA aspect. We have him somewhere relatively safe and tucked away. We're not thinking of him as homeless - he's wild camping.

Fingers crossed for him finding somewhere that will get approved soon...

Hi all, it's actually Sunday but who's counting! It's been an ok week for me, thankfully. I've been less low and much more focussed and productive at work. Me and my husband talked some more, which can be so frustrating as he's always been so closed off, so it's like trying to break through marble with a toothpick sometimes. But he's trying. I reached out on the forum as my head is so full of whether I stay in the marriage or go, and had a piece of such simple, but wonderful advice -

"Do whatever you feel is good for YOU for the day. Try to be here and now and not think so much of the future. I know, easier said than done but I think we´ll drive ourselves insane if we´re not trying to take one day at a time. I think the decision will come naturally in time."



Much love to you all, wishing you a better week ahead xx
