It's really made my day to read your post Hairy (dancing emojis here!)

After a fraught year you will now be able to start getting your life back the way you want it to be, and I couldn't be happier for you.
I'm sure you'll be fantastic working with the little ones, and they are so loving and so funny that hopefully the pleasure will outweigh the (few) tantrums. )
Great that OH has started to lose some weight.  I'm sure it will help with his health, but probably also with his motivation and self esteem. Life can be extremely difficult and tiring when carrying a lot of weight.
Lovely that all your boys are at home with you, and that DS3 has the job he wanted. It must make you happy having them all there.  Sending loads of (((hugs))) XXX

Hi HHD It's lovely to hear from you and the news about the job is fantastic, especially after you've put so much hard work into becoming qualified. Glad to hear OH is moving in the right direction with his health and that the boys are all doing well and pitching in to help out financially. 

I've not been on hear for a while, but loved reading your diary so shall make more of an effort to pop on - no pressure mind lol.

Wishing you and all the family the very best for 2022. xx

Not sure when you start your new job, Hairy, maybe you've been back a few days already.  Just wanted to say I hope everything goes/went well and that you are very happy and fulfilled there.

Take care x

Oh well done on your new job HH, I always think nursery/pre-school staff are very brave! It must be a very rewarding job though and 3-4 year olds are a nice age when they chatter away about random things. 😂 My DS is 4 and some of the stuff he comes out with, I dread to think what he tells the ladies at nursery! 🤦‍♀️ 

Thanks Sashybo ☺. They are funny at that age 😂.
