    I didn't realise myself until a few days ago - it has sort of crept up on us, hasn't it!

    I know! Would have thought I'd have realised it before though :)

    Got wrapping done today - saved postage costs as can now pass on gifts to go down to London rather than post them :) All good.

    Doing some OU study atthe mo (well, taking a quick break lol) and am so excited about it starting in January! Looking forward to getting all the stuff for the course,and am now working through a study skills book - SO wish I'd used them when doing my first degree - so helpful, but what's done is done and this is my new wonderful life. A good feeling.

    Good morning all!! :)

    Had a bit of a meltdown last night - I've reduced my meds and I really don't think it was a good idea on reflection!! Not helping me with not drinking either - so off back to the docs next week.

    Great news today tho - another £17.50 on BB!! I'm gonna miss it when it runs out! THat's £75 profit and although it's not gone off debt, it's certainly helped in the run up to CHristmas.

    Got to get lots done today - still in dressing gown now, but have had a nice morning so that's good. Got to work out where on earth to put the tree now lol!!

    hi all

    Well, what a week it's been and certainly not all good. Got Sophia's p[arty done and the girls all seemed to enjoy themselves so that's good.

    Bf is bf no more. He's drinking and so has shut himself in his house and could well kill himself (serious alcoholic). I can't go through it again - he's done it before. Just can't.

    Ah well. :(

    Probably for the best that you are no longer with him as you certainly don't need an alcholic for a BF when you are trying to recover yourself.Just keep strong as you don't want to go down that route yourself.
    Did you go to the DRs?

    Sorry to hear your news Sea - unfortunately you need all your strength for yourself right now and you're really not in a position to be coping with the situation he finds himself in are you. If you say he's done it before as well it appears that in the long run splitting might well be for the best, although I bet it doesn't feel like that right now.

    Glad the party went well!
