Morning Diary,Wow its been 3 months since I last posted! Just do not seem to find the time these days so just going to have to pop on now and then to say hi.So the good news is, we accepted an offer on the house 4 weeks ago! I honestly thought it would never happen. Things are just going through the motions at the moment, don't have a date for completion yet but I expect that ill be out of here soon as things are moving pretty quickly in my area at the moment.I don't have the full deposit so can't buy at the moment so will rent for a bit until I save up the rest and find somewhere.Kids are back seeing their Dad too which is great. Hes being an idiot as per! Last week he asked me for the TV amongst a few other things which apparently is only fair due to me taking everything else in the house. I told him to get lost and he threatened court action. Take me to court then!!! Think he forgets the owes me money from when he was playing silly beggars! Anyway will see if anything ever comes of it, never in a million years thought my marriage would end up like this! Anyway onwards and upwards!Hope everyone is doing well xxMummytogirls x6

A new start for you 👍 Can’t believe the ex is being so annoying - seems to be a recurrent theme in the diaries, you’re certainly not alone. Good to hear from you xI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Morning Diary,Well today is the last day of the summer holidays for me.. boohoo!!!! I just can't believe how quickly the time is going at the moment.The girls don't go back until next week so they still can spend their days lazing around!Today will be spent pottering about. Need to collect DD2's school skirt and a meat order from the butchers. Will be passing the tip so might just fill up the car and kill 2 birds so to speak. I also need to mow the grass as its getting a bit out of control with the recent wet/warm weather weve had.Thank you for your messages Beanie and SA. Very much looking forward to the next chapter. Ex can just do one, not in the mood for his games and hopefully he will realise soon enough.So with the house the valuation has been done and the solicitors are on with the searches now. It hopefully shouldn't be very long at all. I don't even have a house to go to yet! Trying not to panic, worst case scenario we will stay with my dad. Not ideal but an option all the same!Hope all ok xxMummytogirls x3

Good Afternoon Diary,After a few crazy months I am back and determined to stick to posting.So we moved out of our house into the rented house in October. My house couldnt complete on that day as my buyer had covid. There was a few hold ups after that but it finally all went through on the 13th November. Can't tell you how relieved I was!Have done lots of spending over the last couple of weeks on Christmas and a few extravagances but now its nice to knuckle down and stick to the budgets ive set.Were in a really lovely house in a lovely area. Paying a little bit more than I expected but its definitely worth it for peace of mind of being in a safe area as a single mum and also the girls are closer to school.We have all now broken up for Christmas and just have a nice chilled week ahead.Relationship is going well, its been nearly 2 years since we first met! Time has absolutely flown!Hope all ok xxMummytogirls x5
