Single parent last year after finding out about drugs and affair. Been hard going.

I have gone and bloody well got myself a senior level promotion at work.....means a hearty 16k payrise and more than that I DID IT myself while studying art time, being a mom and working full time.

Teeny tiny brag and bloody chuffed

Well done! Give yourself a big pat on the back

Yes!!!! Well done you, and what a fantastic example you are setting to your DC. You definitely deserve a treat, and I think it's brilliant that it will help you take the load off a bit. That will be so good for you and your DC too. Bloody well done!

Absolutely brilliant! Well done you. And what an amazing example to show your kid/s 💪💪

That is a massive achievement, brag away!

Single-mumming is bloody hard work, you are super-human and a fabulous role model to manage everything else on top of it, well done, from one single mum to another.

Congratulations 💐

A tiny brag? This is something worthy of an announcement by loudhailer in a public space!

To think of the amount of time and effort that must have taken . . . magnificent!

I hope you walk taller these days - well done.

Congratulations! Well done for all that hard work.

A spa day sounds like a lovely treat.

I bought myself a new slightly posher handbag when I got promoted (real leather instead of pleather 🤣) my friend bought herself a Mulberry handbag, she got a much bigger pay increase than me though 😆

I do covert a fossil handbag in neon or age.. Not eveyines taste but I love it.
Good idea!
