Hello all

Hope you've all survived the week as best you can.

Been a pretty horrendous week here, some things connected, some not. A pretty minor car crash but by an uninsured driver, and credit card cloned are just some of the highlights of the week. Honestly we need A Break.

Positives... Sunshine, a haircut, a beautiful bunch of flowers reduced to 30p in the supermarket, and a vaguely successful homemade ice cream. And I didn't run off to join the circus. Maybe next week.

Hello, Friday check-in,

Starr, I'm sorry to hear you've had a horrendous week. I hope next week is better.

I've had a good week. I was doing something different at work which kept things interesting and made the week go quickly.

My kids are just wrapping up the school year. One is done and one has another week. They are looking forward to summer break.

My husband is doing well. He's finished his programming and just waiting for the final report.

Hello everyone. I'm still on a high after seeing an amazing gig from one of my favourite bands, but once I come down I'm sure I'll feel crap again. I've more or less decided to seperate from my husband, I just need to gather some more strength to tell him, because he's not going to take it well. We've been getting on better the past couple of weeks, but to be fair I've not seen him much as I've been working late a lot to catch up as I'm so unfocussed. Apart from that, I'm working this weekend, doing some gardening, and seeing my parents for lunch. I'm considering telling them the full story (they know we're semi seperated and that he's in trouble with the law). If I do, it has a feeling of finality about it, so we'll see.

Wishing you all a good weekend. Keep hydrated! Xx

Friday was up and down due to how this is impacting my son at college. Again another reason there needs better system to deal with kids accused of this.

But yesterday was positive when I went out for few drinks with work colleagues. Even though I've been off work 5 weeks with stress it was definitely the much needed time away from family I needed.

Hello check in, though its nearly Monday and another week starts.

I have been ill this last week, diagnosed withhigh blood pressure. Been told to lose weight and not get stressed. Well if it was all that easy. My life for the last three years has been stressful, and i have no idea how to chill really. I never feel at peace so obviously somehting has to change. I am feeling less dizzy though which is good so at least this week will be better than last week when i worked while ill. I am too afraid of going off sick as i am the only one working now as OH lost his job and is now too ill to work. As it is we dont have much money, so will be looking at working more. Everyone i know seems so happy, retiring or going on holidays. Me, working and working more! I need to change but what i need to decide.



Hoping this week will be better.
