So yes technically we have about 36 hours until 2010 but I didn't want to be part of the big server crash on the 1st when everyone starts new diaries!
I am Dawn, 25 and single mother to two fur babies!
I have been a MSE member for nearly 3 years, in that time I lot has happened, I became debt free in 2008 but last year was a bad year, I became single in July for first time in 6.5 years after ex decided he didn't want any more commitment and upped and left!!!
I had been living with my boyfriend for over 5 of those years so when we split I had to move house too.
I am now back living at home with my Dad because I wasn't do well emotionally or financially living alone due to lots of issues with ex (which most of my loyal lovelies know all about so not putting in my new shiney diary!).
I am also currently on anti depressants due to it all and due to start seeing a councellor in Feb for some extra help.
But I am determined 2010 will be a better year, not expecting it to be amazing but hopefully it will be better than 2009 as also had two deaths, one family member (my nan) and a close next door neighbour dying of cancer in his 50s which upset me loads too.
Roll on 2010!!!!! :T:T:T:T:T
