    thank you.

    The actual incident was five and a half years ago. The legal side was a year later.

    I wish I could post more, but as you're all aware my ex still reads this for some sad reason.

    Glad that’s over for you. We could form a MSE gang and beat your ex up if you like 😆Hope he realises it’s sad he’s obviously so obsessed with what you’re doing - he needs to get a life 😡

    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪

    Morning

    Hope everyone is ok.

    I was up early again this morning and sorting things out.

    I needed to sort my home insurance and managed to get that cheaper than last year with a £34 cashback attached to it as well.

    I am heading to the wholesalers this morning as I have two orders coming up in the next few weeks and need a little bit of stock for them both.

    DD is out with her dad.

    I then need to get myself ready for the week ahead as it is all work back this week.

    The shed now has electricity so I can order the desks and storage for all of the equipment that will be going in there. I am looking forward to having a dedicated space for all of my crafting items. I just need to add some security to it as it isn't very secure at the minute.

    Tomorrow the bathroom and conservatory will be decorated.

    Money is ok. I will start to get pay again from my Monday and Friday job next week. I have to work a week in advance.

    Had the free electricity hour today. I did the dishwasher at that time.

    Went to the warehouse and loved all the Christmas stock. Lots of people in there buying all the christmas cards so must be the weekend when they start to swap stock over.

    My new car has a huge boot and so all of our equipment was in there for all clubs and I could still fit everything else in. Absolutely love driving it and that boot space is just so incredible.

    I am ready for all jobs this week. Including the balloon job on Friday. I do need some star balloons to arrive but they should be here by Tuesday latest and I don't need them until Friday.

    Have a lovely week everyone. X
