Far and Away

Yaaa that is good news @Zoe7 xoxo

It is great news @Shaz51 Means I do not have to ask Mum or my sister for anymore to get through and can catch up when I return to work - also allows me a little space to do a few things over the holidays - will still have to stick to a tight budget but can take more trips to the beach with Toby as I won't have to worry about paying for petrol. I am stlll doing online surveys regularly so have a few vouchers that I use for groceries ...and have more time to do more of them now I am on holidays. ...it all helps.

It does @Sans911 and when I start back at work full time I can really get back on track again - might even be able to save a little eventually

How has your day been? How is your pain tonight?

Thanks so much for posting on Dean's thread @Zoe7, I was starting to feel very alone there. Dean's issue is abandonment, and after his early reactions to members, they appear to have abandoned him. They are not seeing the real person. Your response was perfect btw.

@Shaz51,,, aww Smoky is so sweet. Hope you are enjoying your few precious days away.

@Sans911 ... thanks, my hand will be fine. Just sore for a while.

Heading off to bed now, after enjoying the cricket this evening.

Sherry

It was my pleasure @Former-Member I read the whole thread and saw what an amazing job you yourself did to both engage him and advise him - you are a true treasure Hon and more than happy to take up some of the slack there for you - I actually enjoyed getting to know him a bit through his interaction with you and his own words.

Sleep well sweet Sherry - I don't think I will be far behind you. Catch you throughout the test match tomorrow. Love and huge hugs as always sweetheart

ps: love havng you back with us more often 💛🧡💙💜💚

Thank you .. and same here @Zoe7 💕

@Former-Member Love you Hon - never forget that

Okay time to update my angel @Faith-and-Hope on today ...

as you would have already read I got the overdraft increase - such a relief. Apart from watching cricket and napping for most of the day I have done very little else. Finally put away all the washing up from Christmas day - yea. I also watered the garden this evening as we are presently on stage 1 water restrictions so that can only be done very early in the morning or at night. Tobes had a great time running through the sprinkler then came inside and crashed on the doona on the couch - that is going to need to be washed tomorrow now because he was wet AND dirty lol It should dry pretty quick though as it is supposed to be in the high 20s.

I have had a great evening on here chatting to @Former-Member and @Scarecrowe on the sports thread - actually took my mind off missing you for a while. Been very much feeling your absence today but as always have things around me that remind me of you and of course the space in my heart reserved for you helps.

Jumped on FB tonight also (don't do that often) and had friend requests from several of the parents of the kids I had this year and one of the teachers - that was a lovely surprise - actually made me feel really good. They were parents that I had a lot to do with as they came in every morning and a couple of them were parent helpers as well so I got to know them pretty well. Going to catch up with a couple of them in the new year ...look at me planning to get out and about and being with people hey!

Hoping to get to the beach with Toby tomorrow or Sunday. I called my sister tonight - was going to see if she wanted to come with her dog too but she wasn't home - then I remembered that Dad had a horse racing tonight so that would be where she was. Didn't bother calling her mobile because she would have been with the horse so will call her again in the morning. I might even head to the market again, get some veggies and have a walk around - see if I get some sleep tonight first and how I am feeling in the morning.

So much to sort out here too but not rushing to do any of it. The house is so clean at the moment (lounge room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom) but bedroom and spare room are another matter Once I start sorting through everything in the spare room I will have to move things around the house so for now I am just enjoying having part of the house looking clean and tidy.

I really hope you are having a good time away and that both you and the kids are well. Also secretly hoping WH did not join you and you have some breathing space from all that. If in fact he did go over too that he has been on his best behaviour. My heart still breaks for you with everything he has done but I also know you have a better future awaiting you where you can truly be anything you want to be without those constrictions of that relationship holding you back anymore. First on the agenda is getting a cat - that would make me so happy for you

Time for me to head offline, chill out for a little while and then try to sleep. Miss you heaps Hon and love you lots 💕🌹😘

@Zoe7 😀💕💕
