    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 :)

    Awww Maria thats a shame I had a great win on BP last night :)

    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 :o.

    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.
