    I know what you mean bunny, everyone we know is splitting up or getting divorced!
    On a good note, me and hubby are celebrating 12 years of marriage on 1st June and going out :beer: without kids!:beer: for a nice meal on Saturday to celebrate

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Mrs Spendalot checking in for MSE duty!! Cat, Bunny, thanks for giving me a kick to get back on here!!! Things are, erm, complicated but I'm doing ok. Everything just needs a bit of time to work itself out thats all. I tend to live on facebook nowadays, but I will have to start spending more time on here coz my finances are horrendous at the moment.

    Oh god Zed!
    I do that already-I find it very difficult to adjust to meal making for just me!
    I love to cook but rustling up 3 broccoli florets and 1 carrot with a spud and some chicken seems too much effort.
    I am getting VERY fat eating crap!

    Well half the problem is although you don't mind cooking for other people, you don't think yourself is worth the time spent - as it were.

    Couple of solutions...
    1. Don't buy crap. Buy loads of fruit.
    2. Spend a day cooking a load of meals and freezing them. Then just re-heat them when you can't be arsed.

    At least then you know you're filling yourself with goodness, and not with crud.
