    Well done, and enjoy your time with Emma.

    You should be so proud of yourself. You are showing other dads that is is so good to have a great relationship with their parents even though the are not with you full time.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend

    Aww Thanks Kelpie really do appreciate it, i do try my best by my daughter i really do sometimes i feel i rush things a little and dont enjoy the moment with her i am so going to sound like i am been a little morbid here but we are not invicible, here today gone tomorrow what i want to achieve by Emma Lou is memories when she goes back to her mummy on a Sunday i love seeing a smile from ear to ear i know i have done a good job, memories last forever know toys cant buy love, love buys love :0) Well my day started once more at 7am as i was at work today i had already agreed with my sister and my daughter that my daughter would spend the morning with my sister and her family whilst i was at work, For dinner i had a lovely pork dinner when i finished work i feel really full up and havent eaten anything else, since, During the afternoon i spent time with Emmalou double checking her homework bathing her ready for school tomorrow, and at 6pm she went back home to her mum after nine years i hate saying goodbyes to Emma but i am thankful for everything in my life and my close family. Well spends for today has been a non spend day i am delighted but its not at all possible without the help from my family x

    Hope you and Emma have a lovely time in the snow.

    You brighten my day with all your posts.

    Your parents should be so proud of the lovely considerate son they have brought up.

    Have just found your diary after someone on DFW mentioned it.
    I hope that your mum is on the mend & I hope your debt continues to come down.
