  • The first night is always the hardest MTG, I'm sure going forward you will find more and more you want to get done on those evenings. A huge step though.

    Have a lovely day

  • So last night was my first on my own in the house and I'm pleased to say I survived :D. I did go out to my friends for some drinks but I still had to come back to an empty house. It wasn't bad at all.
    The kids are coming back at tea time and il just be pottering around the house.

    That's brilliant that you felt okay :T. You seem really positive at the moment :T. Enjoy your pottering.

  • Afternoon Diary,

    Weve had a nice chilled out day so far. I have cleaned the house and done the ironing, DD1 has done her homework and DD2 has pottered about too. We enjoyed sausage sandwiches for breakfast :D.

    I have invited MIL for tea as I'm making a chicken dinner and it seems pointless for just us 3. Hoping to have enough chicken stripped off to make a curry for the freezer.

    Then my friend is coming round to watch Elf with us.

    PLMBL you hit the nail on the head :rotfl:.

    It started off badly as they'd all had a falling out before he brought them back. Then we had a lovely time watching the Greatest Showman and then they got drawn back in with his antics and got wound up again. Its actually easier when he doesn't see them during the week as they are so much nicer that when their heads are messed up.
    If he carries on, in time I think they going to tell him they don't want to see him. Obviously I don't want this for them but I am not going to force them into seeing him if they don't want. This man is really not the man I know at all. Anyway not to dwell on him.

    Just catching up on the apprentice, I've got about 7 episodes to watch!

    5 more get ups :D xx

  • Good Afternoon Diary,

    Just a quick visit to try and keep in the habit of posting. Need to get on with my tea shortly and the girls will be back at 5.30pm.

    So today has been a NSD, not sure how many I've had this month but I've had a few as not really been spending!

    Thats Monday done until 7th January anyway :D:D.

    So last night we had a roast chicken and I've stripped the rest off to make a curry tonight. Theres only me eating so il probably freeze it for another meal.

    Thats about all really! Hope all ok xx

  • Whatever is ex playing at upsetting his DD's? It sounds like they were glad to come home and be with mum.

    The Apprentice has been quite exciting this year :j.

    I hope you had a good Monday. You must break up soon :).

    Your ex is playing silly games with his DD's.
    Glad MIL is still on side :)

    Glad you sound so positive. It's weird being on your own in the house for the first time but fine once you get used to it. Very annoying that the ex is upsetting the girls, he isn't exactly endearing himself to them.
