Hiya Jen! How lovely to hear your news! It is a bit of a ghost town on here lately, eh?? I was a bit scared to post my news as it all looks a bit me, me, me!! Go on then. Spill woman! We want details please! I dont have anything quite so exciting going on. Still very much enjoying being a Nana, we had DGD for a sleepover a couple of weeks ago and it was fabulous! even waking up for the 4am feed was good. She is such a treasure and has brought so much happiness to our family, I could just sit and look at her, and smell her (is that weird? Babies smell so lovely, dont they?) such a time-waster, but very lovely! Well, in other news - exh and ow have split up! I know, its shocking news! Didnt see that one coming - MUCH!!!! Apparently she's a bit difficult and demanding. Surely not??? What happened to this woman who was so chilled and laid back and good fun to be with? Oh, hang on, perhaps real life got in the way of the romance? Maybe the fantasy of being together "one day" didnt quite live up to the reality of debating which toilet cleaner to buy or who's turn it is to put the bins out? Who knows?! On a positive note, I think this year so far has made exh be a better father. We have actually discussed this and he says he now realises how little effort he had put in previously. Dont get me wrong, he was never a bad Dad, but didnt give it 100%, and since he has moved out he now makes his time with children quality time. They have all benefitted from it, including him, which can only be a good thing? We have reached a sort of amicable stage. Our main priority is to be a good parenting team and so we do all school related stuff together etc and can chat over tea and be civil with each other. That feels quite good as its difficult to cut someone out of your life while you share children? I think iv given up on the romance side of things. Have had a few dates, but im not sure im ready for anything else yet TBH. Im liking the calm, uncomplicated life i lead these days. I had always said I was taking this year out for me - to work things out and just be , well ME really! Its quite addictive! And still loving being a starfish BTW!! Ha ha!! Id better dash, im sure i should be doing something practical?!! Take care of you and Andrew, wishing you lots of luck with Mr Nice! Lots of love xx
