First ever post!

I thought I would get myself a blog, as Virginia enjoys it so much and Jude awarded me a blog award so thought I should do something to deserve it. Still not entirely sure if i will have anything of interest to write but I'll let you lot be the judge of that! Well it's mother's day and my lovely daughter bought me a card some flowers and a teddy. The card has a badge on that I am at this very moment wearing it makes me look very special but my daughter is happy so that's the main thing!
I am wondering about how to fit more things into my day there doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day. Virginia and my mum have done loads of art journalling and I don't seem to have done any. I recently have got a boyfriend and so I have dramatically less time than I used to have.
So now I have had a little waffle i'm going, but will be back xxx

    Welcome to blogland Melanie. What a life time memory you made on the day of the eclipse. It was my son's birthday on the day of the eclipse and we stopped in Gringleford to watch it. :-) xx

    Thanks for all the comments, quick message to you Jude, you have commented on Virginia's page that you sent me two messages unfortunately I have only received one. Due to this unfortunate circumstance I have had to make up what the first message said and I must admit that I agree your brush with the pirates could have been very serious but I am so glad they didn't make you walk the plank after all. If, however your first message was in fact nothing to do with pirates (which I very much doubt is the case) then feel free to send me a new message (minus the pirates) so I know. I am thinking this may be for the best as we all know my very vivid imagination could make up just about anything :) Oh and Carmen unfortunately I didn't journal it but it's never too late so watch this space!

    Can't remember exactly what I put...along the lines of, welcome to blogland, have missed you since AJ weekend so I'm glad to have a glimse into the 'World of Mel' again...have a feeling it will be full of mad stories, random encounters...but no bloody yellow!!! xxx

    correct no bloody yellow! Must do more journal pages really so I can put them on here. Also I am unhappy mum has one more follower than me mainly as she is currently following herself! Yes the world of Mel is mostly entertaining! I argued that I should have at least 6 more followers than mum as I'm sure most of my split personalities will feel left out otherwise.The reason I say most is that there is at least one personality that is at the pub and just won't come home cos she's found another party to attend!

    Melanie your description of yourself on here is so amazingly funny - these replies should be blog posts in their own right! So why don't you do a calling extra followers my split personalities are feeling left out post - it'll make everyone giggle - you can also mention the colour yellow and the pirates!

Anyone who gets easily upset don't read this blog it's a little depressing, apologies!

Well I received my decree absolute through the post, I knew it was coming, I knew that it was well over due to happen but when I read that letter I'll be honest first thing I did was cry. I told myself to stop being silly I told everyone it was just because I knew my daughter would feel emotional about it. However, I was also a little sad for myself. The worse thing is at the end you can't help but look at the beginning. He was my first boyfriend, he was my best friend and we were very happy, sometimes, but often we weren't we were so young and trying so hard. But financially we were always counting the pennie's and there were never enough and so rather than working together we started to resent each other. Eventually we had both had enough and we split very amicably 5 years ago. This morning when I received the letter, I first beat myself up emotionally telling myself I should have tried harder not given up so easily. Then I started to wonder what my life over the las
