Friday/weekend check in
Notifications OFF
Sounds like a really difficult week for many..my heart goes out to those of you who have been in court (and had adjournments).
I took some time away, it was nice - even felt slightly normal, but then reality comes crashing down.
I've been enjoying the nice weather..I batch cooked loads of healthy meals in the week because I'm sure living off white bread and Nutella wont end well. My diet has been horrendous since the knock.
Bought some beautiful sandals...they make me smile every time I look down at my feet. Hope we have a decent summer so I can wear them as often as possible

How lovely. Enjoy those sandals. I've not done a Friday check in for a while. Life is ok. Four months post court hearing and almost two years since arrest. I've got a trip in a few weeks with a friend. Looking forward to it lots. I see my ex most days. I'm getting on with life but my heart is sad. It's lovely to do things with friends but there's always a small part of me which is envious when I see couples together. Life isn't perfect but I have a lot to be thankful for. Fingers crossed we have some decent weather for you to get some use of those sandals xx

Sending love to all of you.
I've lived on pastries, bread, ice cream, gooey things, cheesy things, crisps and chocolate for months now. The majority of the 13 months since the knock, and exclusively this past 3-4 weeks.
I've got a Tesco delivery full of delicious fruit and veg coming tonight, and my first reaction to the (incorrect) news of adjournment was 'well I won't want to bloody eat any of that! What a waste!'
I'm going to make sure I give myself space and time to recover though. No hardcore diets or restrictive routines. Just try to eat mindfully and enjoy doing properly formed poos.
I feel immensely lucky and grateful for my person's relatively good outcome - suspended sentence and a ban on reporting in the press - and am just looking forward to being present with my beautiful daughters and no longer in that awful state of chronic dread and uncertainty. I'm looking forward to feeling lighter - physically and emotionally - as time passes.
I know we'll have battles and wobbles and I've got the whole Relationship Saga to face at some point but I'd like to think we can have at least a few months of uncomplicated coparenting (4 times a week with me supervising) before we have to do anything about it.

Daughter has finished school today - Year 3, starting Year 4 in September.
Got the hassle of going through the PLO process over the summer and submitting a complaint to the ombudsman this weekend. Don't you just love social services!!

Oh LisaMargeMaggie I'm so pleased sentencing finally happened. You can now breathe a little and look forward to those nice, easy poos. I was only thinking yesterday that I couldn't remember my last normal one!!
In a nutshell this week has been ok, crap, ragey, tired, unmotivated, so very sad. I'm going to write a seperate post on that though, cos its a long one.
Have a good weekend everyone. You deserve it xx

Hey not done a Friday check in before. I'm exhausted! my daughters teething her molars, that ontop of working full time and i am ready for the weekend. Going back home so my husband can see his daughter like I do every weekend since he moved back (I live with my parents - my choice). It's just nice to sit with a cup of tea and watch him play with her and kid myself this isn't all going on for a day. The one bonus in all of this is seeing how happy she is to see her daddy because he is a good dad.
Hello Friday Check-in.
Nice to hear from you all. Life does go on.
I've had a good week with the kids. My boys got excellent end of the year report cards and my daughters university classes are going well. It was a busy week at work and went by so fast.
I've had a few extra expenses recently and need to cut some costs. When I get too busy or don't plan well I end up getting take out which eats up my savings. Today I tried a new recipe and the kids ate it up which made so happy.
My husband received his parole hearing date of August 15. Nothing is guaranteed but everything looks really promising he will be released. I'm nervous about changes but so excited for some help with the household chores!

Eyup all, sorry not been on for a couple of weeks.. mine and wifes birthdays last weekend, had a bit of a blow out with the idiot son last Friday... just got into, the head in sand bubble waiting for his bail hearing in a month or so time.. hope everyone else is bearing up under the circumstances... another week starts tomorrow and still breathing so best wishes all..
Had a wobble most the weekend, just the anger creeping back as I miss the life I once had and the guilt for putting my child through the ridicule of SS.
Think I just need a good cry and to give myself a shake up and treat Monday as a new week and Try to stay positive
