    Good Evening Diary,

    I hope everyone is well, sorry for the lack of updates just hardly get on my laptop nowadays.

    Lovely to hear from you DFOD, hope all is well with you.
    Thanks everyone, lovely to see messages from you all :D.

    So to update I'm just really enjoying my life at the moment. New man has met the girls (can't remember if I told you guys that) and we all get on really well. We have met his children too and all is going well. He stays here a couple of nights a week now and we always do something good on my Friday nights when I have no kids here. I was never unhappy with ex but new man has shown me there is so much more to life. I am really happy, never thought id hear myself say that ever again, especially as I was so guarded after what ex did to me. I have minimal contact with the ex which is just for the best. He brings out the absolute worst in me!

    The divorce is going through and once we get to decree nisi stage we can agree finances and get the house up for sale. I was looking at taking on the mortgage but it would have stretched me too much and I want to be able to have a life and be able to go on holidays etc.

    Still got 3 days off work so thats good!! Then full steam to the 6 weeks holidays!!! I hope all ok xx

    Evening All,

    Sunday evening already.. good job I've got another 3 days off :D!

    Thank you DFOD, HHOD and PLMBL. HHOD I've often thought myself that he has done me a favour!

    So today me and the girls went bowling.. had a 50% off voucher so only cost just over £8 :money:. Also took delivery of a free H3llofresh order! Wouldn't pay for it but would pay £2.49 delivery for 3 meals :money:.

    Caught up with housework and just spent 2 hours deep cleaning my kitchen. Ive never been able to reach on top of the cupboards but found a way today and my god they were awful! So glad they're all done now.

    Both girls are in their bedrooms as DD1 is back at school tomorrow so we need some kind of routine back. I am just catching up on here whilst watching Hatton Garden.

    Hope all ok xx

    Good Evening Diary,

    I hope everyone is doing well. Yet another month has gone by in-between me posting. Rarely get the time anymore! Where once upon a time my weekends were about winding down, they are now about ramping up and making the most of every minute.

    So in less than 2 weeks we break up for the summer holidays. Just absolutely do not know where that time has gone at all. In a school year my life has changed so dramatically in a way I never thought it would.

    The divorce is going through and I now need to apply for the decree nisi. I have been speaking to the courts today and apparently this still could take 3-4 months! Won't put the house up for sale until this has gone through though, so still here for a while longer.

    New relationship still going very well and we are going away this weekend. DDs are away all weekend at scout camp too so fits perfectly!

    My phone broke at the weekend when a table at my friends collapsed! Couldn't believe it but no point in dwelling. Was on SIM only but had to go back onto a contract again.

    The girls are both doing really well and have adapted well. They are still hating ex-DH, he thinks its me poisoning them (its not!) and absolutely takes no responsibility for them feeling the way they do! Me and the girls on the other hand have a great relationship!!!

    Think thats about all in a nutshell! Hope all ok xx
