                    So here we are in a new chapter of my diary ... I ummed and aahed over its name, but right now this seemed quite apt; life has been pootling along on a fairly straight path for a while now but recently I seem to have been forced to make a detour on my journey 

For those of you who have followed my last rather dull diaries I thank you, for those of you who have stumbled upon this one, welcome and please stay, feel free to post whenever you like! A brief summary of my previous diaries for those who have joined us at this chapter ... I am a single mum with a gorgeous monster who is almost 7, I don't have debts but like this board best so have set up residence here
, I am more than a bit obsessive with my finances, I see it as my hobby I guess, and anyway, I like the company on this board 
I will be back soon with a revised soa, mine needs some major overhauling, along with a new plan of action once I have finished devising it
 This detour may take us quite a way off the path I was heading down but ultimately I will end up there somehow, come hell or high water no muppet ex of mine is gonna stop me :j :j
