Dearest Urg XX
I have missed you and hoped you were having a lovely time with your little boy, I am sure you are but it must be so hard and I am so sorry. inadequate words. Just please know I am thinking of you and sending you love XXXXXX
I hear you on the mse front, tho for different reasons, since leaving my old job income has been variable to say the least! and the debt hasn't gone down as it should. I am looking at the Frugal challenge (again) I always like the idea of it but never had time before to get it all together.
Hope the part fixes the boiler
Big hugs

I lost my dad recently and like your dad it was quick. Lately I have been thinking a lot about him, but know it will get easier with time (a lot of time). We always counted down this time of year to the shortest day and used to say on Dec 21st, right that its now, we're heading to summer. This year I am saying it in my head to him.
You will be be very emotional as well due to the arrival of your darling little DS, give him loads of cuddles and talk to him of his granddad. Don't rush to do things just do it in your own time.

Hi
As usual its been too long. The wind is howling outside and my baby does not want to sleep.I think his normal patterns have been disturbed (and will be even more over the holiday period!) so have handed him over to daddy!
Thanks for your messages - it's lovely to see old and new friends.
I am struggling in lots of ways. Am worried about money and not getting too far into debt, I'm missing my dad lots and finding family stuff with OH's family really difficult. Hubby is so happy to have his life complete with baby but he doesn't understand it is so different for me.
It's getting to the end of the year and I am getting contemplative - this year has been both amazing and awful for me. The birth of my son has been amazing but losing dad and other crap has made it horrid. I really don't know what I want from the future - I think the next few months will be about managing financially and enjoying the little one.
I want to think about goals for next year but it'll be weird being at home for the first half - my life is very different. I came across an interesting concept of goal setting - how do you want to feel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch_ny_6vu90. Need to think about that some more.
I've also been thinking about the law of attraction - I know that there was quite a lot of talk about it on here a while back but I didn't really get into it. Some more reading to do.
I'm wondering if I should start a new diary - I will definitely need to focus on money in 2014 as our income will drop by two-thirds of what it was at the start of 2013! It'll keep me motivated!
Baby is still not asleep! Mummy is knackered!
