It's just wierd I was happy as larry last night stopping in on my own while ds was fast asleep, but tonight feel really lonely!!! I guess I've got to get used to it, thinking back when me and xp were together there was many a lonely night!!!

Yes, Saturday nights and Sundays are the worst, but I don't know why as we never did anything when we were together anyway.

i go shopping on saturday nights as its so boring here. all kids out for the night. i have a cylinder head to strip off ds's mini - what fun.
last night for something to do i worked til 10 putting up curtain poles for a sp in her new flat. not relly sweet, just bored but handy.

i think it is just the prescence of someone being there that we miss. i ask mates to come over but they are all busy with their own lives. if it was not for getting a laptop nad having unlimited access to mn and msn i do not know how i would have coped. shame i did not have it when i was pregnant alone every night!!

I think we find saturday nights the worst cos are friends are out or busy and we cant go for whatever reason. Just as well we have the internet to help keep us sane

haha...great ideas!! i quite often slouch off to the sofa or his bed when it all gets a bit to much, but he will follow me. It not being in my bed, its me he is after!! he has always ha dthe luxury of coming into my bed when he wanted, my ds1 cant stand sleeping with me and has never even woken uop long enough in the night to move!!

Butr at least i can say that i will have a man ( small one ) in my bed at some stage before i turn 40!!!
