    Hello all
    i am back, although most will not remember me :D
    Anyways I moved house with my parents, and some of my debts are starting to catch up with me, so I am back in the MSE way of life. I am still a single dad but now I have a steady girl friend :) so thats all going good.
    Trouble is my mother is now having an affair, and I know its going on but cant really say anything to anyone so erm in reality im in a bit of a hole where I really dont know where I will land.

    Oh and the weather is hot today :D

    Thanks :) is it still acceptable to hand out calorie free Jaffa cakes to all?

    If so please help yourself :)

    I started a new diary off today feeling quite "happy" about things, as long as I dont have to look at my dad or brother for too long.

    Random huh? But I thought you would like it.

    Not a great situation for you Downnotout. I was in the same situation with my Mom a few years ago...I left the country

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Haha well I don't really care about my mum and dad, he is for the main part a PRAT.

    what does kill me though is the thought of when it all comes out, that my kids are going to be party to the fall out. currently i depend on my parents to live in their home. when the brown stuff hits the rotating device then I fear that I will be forced to be homeless and up the creek without a paddle.
    I am therefore hoping that I manage to save enough cash to get my own digs, along with paying my debts off.

    Finally I hope my girl friend is open to erm..... an interesting life haha.
