    Just caught up with the last week or so and, no wonder, you've been tired and stressed. I hope that you have a much quieter weekend and get lots of rest and time with your kids.

    Hello you lovely lot :)
    Apologies again for my absence, but it will be a bit like this for the next 6 weeks or so while I'm juggling my day job with exam work. I've been working most of the weekend - catching up on stuff that I missed when I was stressed out last weekend and then starting on exam marking. Expect long silences.
    There has been no further news of my ex. I contacted my solicitor who said that I still need to go to court tomorrow (!) as planned, but the judge may be more lenient that previously expected. I would be interested to know how ex is getting on, but just to settle my nosy nature :D I think it would be a real shame if he'd been wrongly diagnosed all of these years. It brought a lot of 'what if's' into my mind. But the real world isn't like that - I just need to keep going with my plan.
    Spent most of yesterday with my mam and sister, and my kids. I've had a new tattoo done. I love it, and got it at mates rates but it is still quite sore and I'm waiting for it to settle down a bit and stop hurting. It's 10 years since I was last tattooed so I forgot how uncomfortable it is for that first week or so. Maybe that is what is making me feel so tired and run down today. Still, I'm just going to keep plodding - I've almost made it to half term and then I can spend all day every day on exam marking if I need to.

    And you're right foxgloves - the right nutrition makes a massive difference. I've just enjoyed a coconut and mango chicken salad for lunch so I can relax in the knowing that I've had a meal with some actual nutrition in it at least once today :rotfl:

    Home made freezer food for dinner so staying frugal and healthy.
    Now I've stopped for the day I'm suddenly quite stressed at the thought of going to court tomorrow. I hope it won't be too long and I hope that it won't be too disappointing. It costs me so much and I just want the whole thing to be over now :(

    Good luck tomorrow. When you feel nervous, imagine how many of us are rooting for you, sending positive vibes and wishing for the best outcome for you. That’s all the regular posters, intermittent ones like me - but we’re always reading - and then there must be at least a 1000 more or even 10,000 or even....:shocked: all supporting you.
