Rocking my world!

Been a pretty busy week so lots to be grateful for! Firstly I am grateful for Friday evening with my daughter, watching Labrinth at the O2 arena and a fancy dress club- night straight after with uni friends and my brother and his girlfriend! I am also grateful for my home, something that I take for granted often but the terrible hurricane that has destroyed so many homes in the US, has reminded how lucky I am for my surroundings.

I also had a trip out with my sister, my nephew and my daughter to a local petting zoo, which I really enjoyed especially seeing the meercats and gaining the knowledge that a group of peacocks are called a party lol (love this)!

I am grateful for my wonderful family, especially my sister Virginia who laid on a fantastic Halloween party at her house, with beautiful food and an opportunity for my daughter to get dressed up and all of the rest of the family to have a proper catch up!

Also managed to watch Alien (first time ever), something I have been wanting to watch for a very long time but have put off because I don't like watching anything scary on my own, so Virginia and her lovely hubby let me stay over so they could watch it with me, which I so appreciate!!!

I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the w.w group, especially Carmens fantastic news about the birth of her beautiful baby Logan! 

Finally I am grateful for paints and masks and marker pens and paper because it gives me an opportunity to be creative, vent when I need too and gain some perspective when things get tough!!

Hope all you fantastic people in blogland are well and have had a very fantastic and rocking week whatever you have been up to!

    Sounds like you've had a super family-type week.

    I can't watch spooky films - even if there are other folk around I usually get up and wander off to do something else...getting whimpy in my old age LOL

    Have a great weekend and week ahead.

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

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...
