Its so weird to be happy again but its like a switch was flicked and I am back...most of the time anyway.
I haven't seen my ex for a month now though or spoken to him for 3 weeks and I think thats helped a lot to be honest, its given me time to reflect and realise that its defo for the best it happened.
I still love him and think hes a nice guy but god if we had a kid it would have been a nightmare because of how "laid back" he is (read into the speech marks as you will).
I have had a little distraction too to cheer me up
Jen glad uni and work are going well

Hi everyone, it's nice to see you all seem to be doing well at the moment. I really need to get back into the money making again but as usual I don't seem to have time for anything. I'm semi tempted to write maybe 2-3 dooyoo reviews per week, but make them really good and aim to get crowns for them to make money that way. I've written on there once since March
.
Mm, I've looked on Amazon for wii active but I can't find it. Does it use a wii fit balance board? I keep telling him not to because it's too expensive, but OH seems hell bent on getting me a wii & wii fit for christmas.Finally bought a homeStarting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £189,497.12Overpayments since 27.03.19: £53,964.80Moving fund so far £2500 - Premium bonds £9,5000
