Great to read all your positive posts Emma, very inspiring! I'm in north London and have been buying some clothes in charity shops recently, I've found nice things, brands like Reis, Coast, River Island, but they're not so cheap, more like Primark prices. The manager at the charity shop tried to sell me an Armani t shirt for £25, probably well worth it, but I'm trying to save money!

Hi Emma, I don't think anyone would say this has ruined their day. I am sorry to hear you were in that state, grateful it didn't work. I said it before I love your positivity and admire your strength to get here after what you've been through, even more now knowing how bad it actually was for you. You have turned your life around and know you are strong and enough. Company would be nice but not necessary. Looking forward to hearing about your date 😉

Hi Emma, I’ve been following your diary but never replied before. You’ve been to a very dark place AND BACK! It took a lot of courage to tell us this moving and deeply personal episode of your life. I love how it was a massive wake-up call, (pun intended!). I truly send you all best wishes for your future. X5

Hi Emma, a little of track, but my ex h was a drunk and a nasty one at that. If ever I went outside the house for anything I took the key, even if only into the back garden. I still have a big fear of being locked out, so I really understand the panic. I won’t ruin Friday by saying all the other stuff, but huge congratulations on getting away from that ⭐️Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Morning Emma, I’ve just read you full diary. You have had an extremely difficult time. So many lows and from your honesty yesterday you had hit really rock bottom. I’m so glad that guy annoyed you by looking in the car because who knows you might have actually took more pills. Your ex just ignoring you gave to the strength to do the right thing for you and your children. Reading your diary now just wow wow wow what a transformation new home, new job, new health regime and possibly a new man. What an inspirational woman you are and never forget that or let anyone ever tell you different.
hope you had a good run6
