    Happy New diary BB, I wish you well for the next chapter :A
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I'll being reading as always Benben:D, sorry I know I'm supposed to post too:o.

    Good luck with your plans, not that you'll need it, you always seem so focused and determined. Having found myself in a similiar situation to you, your diaries were the first I ever read on this site and you really inspired me in all ways MSE:money:.
    I very often relate to lots of things you mention re your ex etc and it always makes me feel a little better that I'm not alone, although obviously I wish he wasn't such a pain in the proverbial for you!

    So sending positive wishes for you and DS, you're doing a brilliant job:D x

    SS and Hypno, as we're now airborne then points / calories will only count when you're on the ground, something to do with gravity and all that ;)

    Ladypink ... I didn't get a vip slot this time round but actually am quite glad as I must not go spending right now, so temptation like the Next sale is not good for me. Hope you manage to get the bits you're after though :)

    Elantan ... feel free to finish off the packet, I've got a pack of jelly snakes on the go here, they are the natural ones with no additives so am not being too naughty :o:o
