    What a funny old week...

    the lovely time we planned to have just the 2 of us just wasn't as great as we both had thought I think! Ive missed B terribly and spent most of the time fighting the tears off and its meant OH has been treading on egg shells. We did go out for supper on friday and a nice walk in the woods yesterday with some christmas shopping but it just wasn't WOW this is fabulous

    Anyway off to my new job today and I am trying to start November looking at all the good things in life :)

    And my baby comes home today, mucho happy but I must remember she will be sad to say goodbye to her daddy and will probably miss him like I missed her!

    Things will take time to adjust - it is still all very new for everyone!

    Good luck with the new job :D

    work is great and I think there is growth for a lot more hours in the future and she said I can offer ways in which I think she can improve or get more business. Im just loving the fact that I go to work and the hours whizz by, haven' been busy like that at work for years!

    B is back from Daddy's, feeling quite sad about it all, trouble is I know things weren't good between us all, guess I just miss the familiarity BUT I do realise that actually we have a good relationship and that we are still there for each other if we really needed. Hoping that he manages to find a job near here so that B can have more time with him too.

    OU work is really hard at the moment and sooooo much reading to do finding it hard to fit it in around everything, I also find it practically impossible to do work in the evenings so I think it might be that I have to get up early and do an hour before everyone else is up (yawn yawn). I also need to manage my time better tbh, fly lady I think might have to be resurrected!

    Ive re-joined the 10 week weight loss thing with Lou, as my eating and diet was just horrendous and actually I have been really healthy and eating well for 4 days and I feel soooo much better mentally and physically. Ive also stopped taking the St Johns Wort as I didn't really feel the effects and tbh I think it was causing the heart palpatations I was getting

    So all in all, through the tears things are goodish

    Off to school this morning, really looking forward to it :)

    Sounds like you have a lot going on at the minute Sally, it will be worth it in the end though:)

    Really pleased the new job is going well.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
