    That would be great if you don't mind:D I know he won't take much to start with but I would like him to be getting fresh stuff rather than pre made where possible.

    Its great, PM me your address and I'll stick it in the post. What I used to do is cook whatever you are doing in a big batch then stick it in ice cube trays to freeze, remove and put into bags and take out, mix and match things by whatever quantities you need.
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    Did wonder where you'd got to Bookie. How's the winding down going?

    It's a bit scary and depressing and is getting me down a bit. I shall be happier when it is all out in the open.

    Stupid things are getting to me. Just to make you laugh, I couldn't get a file to attach to an e-mail yesterday and found myself sobbing my socks off! Mad!:D

    Oh Maz, I'm sorry you've got such a hard decision to make. Whatever happens you wont be judged by me. I'm sure we'll all support you in any way we can whatever happens. And Erin seemed to me mature and sensible enough to cope with change, although I only met her for a few hours.


    Thanks Amie - she is old enough to understand, and sometimes i think she is very perceptive to the way out lives are... simple things like when i suggest we 3 of us take the dogs out for a walk, he says "nah, can't be bothered." She says "megan and her mum and dad are always going out for family walks. Her parents even hold hands."

    She's not missing the bigger picture i'm sure.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    No madder than me having a total meltdown because the ipod wasn't charged for a run the other day. You're dealing with a lot and it has to come out somewhere...

    Maz:grouphug:

    had to pop in to say, you know i have been there, and how it all affected me.

    I would never try to tell you what you should do, but i think you already know what you want and thats half the battle.
    Then you just have to work out how to get it.

    I can honestly say though, it was the best decision i ever made. As someone else said it was like a great weight lifted off my shoulders.

    And just to let you know Shannon has been fine since me and him split, Erin is a smart kid, she would be upset naturally, but she would cope
