    Yeah he is but it was seeing her so little and not talking properly and then thinking how much she has been through if that makes sense :o

    It's hard isn't. I just look at her at that age and then think all we have put her through :(

    Yes but she is still young enough to not fully understand really and you love her so much she will realise what a great strong single mummy you are x

    If I was in your position I would love to be as strong as you!

    Afternoon one and all. Well today hasn't gone to plan. DD wanted to come home so won't be getting as many jobs done. Not that I mind as I am much happier when she is here with me and exactly what I needed to hear after last nights wobble.

    Right just listening to the football and ironing. Will be back on later :D

    Ok so its 2.15 and still have done very little. So I think I am going to write a massive weekend to do list to get me motivated:

    - [STRIKE]All washing and ironing to be up to date and put away.[/STRIKE]
    - two 30 min sessions on the treadmill
    - complete 6 dooyoo reviews
    - complete my assignment
    - try to fix washer motor on car - possible fuse gone
    - tidy playroom
    - [STRIKE]check online banking and update spreadsheet[/STRIKE]
    - sort insurance claim for car seats ready for posting
    - list at list 30 bits on Ebay
    - sort and photograph two more crates of stock from garage
    - take rubbish bags to tip
    - [STRIKE]small food shop - with list and within budget[/STRIKE]
    - check online for gas/electric and water bills.
    -


    Well not going to plan this weekend so far but I am hoping to still manage most things on my list.

    Its free listing day on Ebay so tonight I will spend the night watching pants on tv and listing and I am determined not to stop until I hit 30 items listed.

    Well another day which is not going to plan. DD was meant to go to her daddys for the day but she doesn't want to go. Not an issue as such as I love spending the day with her but obviously won't get as much done today.

    Little worried about why she doesn't want to go though. I know there are no issues at his house as she has always been very honest about what they do etc. So I am worried that she has got it into her head for some reason that I won't be here when she comes back.

    She is very happy though so that has to be a good sign and I am not forcing the issue.

    Just written my first Dooyoo review which was painful but I am determined to do a few more today. Just scouting round the house for things to write about as thats where I struggle.
