well tomorrow is my 30th birthday and I couldn't feel any less excited.



Still waiting for charges coming through, knock was last June. Been with my OH for 12 years. Feel like I just want to be living on my own in peace now with my little dog but also have never lived alone in my adult life. I have a job in the NHS, with a degree, yet I went and seen the mortgage advisor and was essentially told I could afford my mortgage and to pay off my OH but apart from that all I would do is work and pay my bills. What kind of life is that?

I do feel grateful that I dont have more problems with marriage and children... something to be grateful for.



Anyway there's today's moaning post, hopefully tomorrow will be a nice day regardless. And I have a nice spa day and overnight stay booked with my mam on Sunday

Happy birthday for tomorrow gorgeous. You've got an awful lot of life ahead of you. Have a good wallow, feel the feels, then keep going. I know how sh1t it is. We're basically knock-twins and the waiting is horrendous. But you will have a future that is yours to design. Please know that x.

Classic case of me dishing out advice that I know I'll struggle to follow myself. How do these men make us feel so guilty for wanting to move forward without them?

I feel any celebrations a bit tricky now. I am staying with my OH so it's a bit different but we have family members who have decided to distance themselves from him and that's made celebrations a tad awkward for me because what do you do, have two birthday celebrations forever? (That's what we did for my daughters 1st birthday and her 1st Christmas - two big firsts ruined really but hey ho).

Happy Birthday Daisy, even if you don't feel like celebrating this time there will come a time when you will, and you can celebrate EXTRA! Have a lovely time with your mum at the spa xx
