In other news, feel like I need a drum roll, ex wants to move back in. Or me to move into his flat. (His flat is not suitable. It's lovely and appears massive, but still only two bedrooms.HOME

Not sure, I'd need to stay in my house for practical reasons. Like garden, bedroom space, girls' school etc.
It's not come as a complete shock as quite frankly he comes round every night. His work is only a ten minute walk from my house.
The timing was planned. My new mortgage was supposed to go through today, but solicitor delay at the very very last minute. So ex thought it had gone through. He was apparently waiting for the house to be mine, so I wouldn't think he wanted the equity in the house.
He's been making an effort to do stuff I used to moan at him about, like sending me photos of kids. We've been sharing the time off work when the girls are sick. He's been picking them up a lot more after work so I can get stuff done.HOME

Had a pretty horrible weekend.
I'm really worried about DD1, she's really upset and fed up. Very withdrawn. Been lying at school etc.
Have put in a referral for Cahms for her.HOME

DD1 wants to live with Daddy, she's really really close to him. So anyhow we've decided to spend time at mine and her dad's flat as a family. We're even spending christmas at my parents house ex included.
DD1 has been a bit brighter today. I'm wondering if she's starting with hormonal changes, I started my periods aged 9.
Lodger's new place is completing on 25th, next wednesday, so they reckon they will go the following weekend. So this coming weekend will probably be my last with a lodger. Have to say I'm really really excited.
