    Oh gawd, she's back.......just as I thought I was getting shot of her in real life, she pops back up on the laptop - is there no escaping her :confused: :rotfl:

    Righty ho then.. here goes... long awaited update!! but firstly...


    Hypno... you are a cheeky moddom!!! thought for a while i was going to miss you....:o :rolleyes: :D :rotfl:

    ok. so update from when i last posted on this ere bloggy thing..

    Firstly I am SOOOO much happier than i have been recently! I am feeling positive, happier and today i've driven everyone nuts at work purely by being completely off the wall!

    So, a brief summary on what has happened..

    1) I have moved house. I am now lodging with someone from work about 2 hours away from where i lived previously. It was extremely painful to have to move out of my home and into someone elses house that i don't know, without my bed without my furniture and without my own things but i have to say that in hindsight making that break and not having my personal things around me was the best thing that could've happened to me mentally. I'm going to have to head back to the badlands on a couple more occasions to clear the property out then after that, with the exception oif returning to run with La hypno my connection with the ex is over. :T

    2) Financially things have got a little better... she says with 50p in her pocket!!! I received a little financial boost that i am waiting to clear that will allow me to straighten out my old bills and get back on track with a little left over to go to see snow patrol in march!!:j :j :j just for a little me treat!
    I've managed to pay for a months deposit for the new place and a months rent along with rent on the old place this month. Come the middle of december I will receive the deposit on the old place back which along with my expenses will mean I can afford christmas and to tax and mot my car:j

    So it is all looking good right now, and whats more, I have a reason to smile..;) ;);)

    Glad to catch up with everyone and glad everyone is ok. xxx

    Hi,

    Fantastic news on the doggy course & seems like a little bit of extra debt is nothing compared to feeling free to be yourself & happy.

    I really wish you every success & happiness you deserve, you've made the break , now best foot forward & dont look back ;)
