I have been out all day at the village exchange and freecycle event. I was the only one freecycling and got rid of loads of things, people who were exchanging or selling didn't do so well but they said I brought the people in that wouldn't have looked otherwise.

Just me and DH home tonight so I am off to cook a special dinner and we have a bottle of champagne we have been waiting to drink without the hungry and thirsty hoards around.

OOh Valli, break a leg for the interview.

Divorce is pants, and esp in my case with 3 month old baby and on unpaid matenity leave...when husb does a moonlight flit.

There's always good to come of it though, she has a far better Daddy than she would have otherwise, and DD2 wouldn't exist.

Try to say to yourself that it will pass, and you may never be on speaking terms, but at least you will do your best to lessen the effect on your children.

The vicar's wife told me to "offer it up to God", and although I believe, that was hard - and not especially useful - advice at the time!

Wishing you peace of mind in this difficult time.

Oooh Toots - please can I have another heart for the complete task from the list of 5.

I just have to let you know that DD went on her first ever interview at Boots at 2.30 and was told she would hear early next week. then got a phone call at 5 to say she had got the job to start in August - half hour later another phone can she start next week! She is over the moon as she finds it difficult to meet people and prefers to stay in her room - more than usual teenage isolation IYSWIM.

So she has to be at work next Saturday at 8.30 am - no more lazy Saturdays for her or me either as I will have to take her in.
