    Um, well Sar and Spud, well spotted...
    It was a culmination of incidents...

    I asked Freya what she thought about Daddy and Mummy living apart and she said 'well, it's ok, but I miss seeing Daddy' so when I told Scott he started crying and was heartbroken.

    Then, when I was way with the girls in Chester, I jokingly said I'd hook Kate up with Scott as he was 'sexy, great with kids, nice guy' etc etc and she said 'if he's so great, why arent you with him'?? And it made me think...

    Then the next day we spent the day at his parents and had a lovely day. We have never argued, but we had grown apart. So in a chat later in the day he suggested trying counselling to see if we could work on things together and I thought it a very good idea. We have got issues, but bottom line is, we are friends, good friends, we have a laugh together and then he said to me 'I have always thought I would grow old with you'.

    Then, with everything that has happend with Weller and her DH, it made me really take stock. I have a wonderful man who loves me and whilst we REALLY need to work on somethings, if I lost him, I too would be devastated.

    So there you go...I'm not moving back 'home' yet, and we have set a few 'ground rules' and are taking it very slowly but I truly hope we can work it out. In the meantime, I am going to take really good care of me and the kids and let him 'woo woo woo' me.









    I hope i'm not making a mistake....

    Don't be silly Spud, you lot are my friends...


    Although, one thing I have said is that I won't be on the t'internet all the time because it's very secular/isolating and we need to connect as a couple again.

    I hope things work out for you Bun :) OH and I are going through some really difficult stuff at the moment and I have to say what has happened to poor Weller is making me take stock of things too. It is just sad that it takes a tragedy to realise sometimes what is important. I don't know how we will do... but you gotta try, right?

    I am pretty heartbroken to be honest but maybe I can heal?

    Just make sure you pop in occasionally to let us know you're OK. We would worry, you know ;)

    DD,
    This year has been a trainwreck for me and I am constantly amazed by what the heart can heal from. I'm no expert but if you both want the same thing, and are both working on the relationship,it's worth it.

    Im always around for a chat and a shoulder to cry on x


    And Spud, don't worry, I'll never be far!! I love you guys!!!
