@Imbluedalale I'm great. I've just been to the shop for bacon and sausages in case I fancy something later. I'm still putting the boiled eggs on for now while I think about breakfast number 2 😂 Great free entertainment at The Ritz last night then 😂 The lads in the house here love curtain twitching. Remember Victor Meldrew....always caught up in stuff that's nowt to do with them 😂 I really can't wait now to hear about the house xx

Hi Laura,

I've read through all your threads (I was up early this morning 😂). And all I can say is wow.

Your story is unbelievable. Look how far you've come. I bet you couldn't imagine yourself in a place where you're getting your own lovely home and your children are going to help choose their bedroom decor and be excited to be home with you.

So many people would have crumbled and given up but you didn't. You are truly amazing and an inspiration to many. This is why MN is fabulous sometimes, look at the community you've brought together.

I just wanted to wish you all the best moving on, have a fabulous day viewing the house and I can't wait to see where the rest of your journey takes you.

Big hugs and genuinely wish you all the best for your health, for your kids, for your new home and your future. You're gonna rise from the ashes like the damn terminator and do amazing things!!!!

Hi @TouchOfSilverShampoo .
Awww thank you so much for reading my threads and thank you for your lovely kind words.
It seems an age since I first wrote my thread before I was kicked out, so much has happened since then!A lot of bad stuff but wow so much good stuff too. One of those being I’ve met so many wonderful people on here whom go out of there way to put a post on my thread , supporting me , saying absolutely lovely words to me, giving me advice and encouragement and giving me strength.
You’re all amazing! ❤️
I honestly cannot believe I’ve got a home , it’s doesn’t seem real. I actually read the email about 10 times a day just to reassure myself I’m not imagining it 😂
I was actually very nervous to tell my children as I know they are settled there and it’s going to be a big change for them . Only my two youngest are going to be with me as eldest wants to stay there but they was asking loads of questions and now they are excited. And I’m so looking forward to being with them again .
Oh I’ve had many many breakdowns during this time, I’ve honestly never felt as low and hopeless and worthless, that on top of being without my children . I was just in a black hole and couldn’t see a way out . But now I see light at the end of the tunnel, I’m very nearly there and I can start my new life with my children and start to build myself back up again. But without you MN’s (aka spoonies) I wouldn’t have been able to get out of that hole . You helped me climb out when I couldn’t see.
Thank you so much for your lovely words xx

I’m so jealous that you’re having bacon and sausages! I could just eat that right now. I love that you’re having two breakfasts, a girl after my own heart. If I had my way I’d have breakfast, snack, brunch, snack, lunch, snack, afternoon tea, dinner, snack 😂
Oh it was good entertainment here last night , they should go on X factor singing that song. It was like a free concert from the key hole in my room 😂
Victor Meldrew 🤣🤣🤣🤣xx

Morning all on an exciting day! I do hope it goes beautifully! At least the stag and his handlers chose an appropriate song - that was very fortunate I think!

What exercise do you like doing @Meanwhile33?xx

Meanwhile33 · 10/11/2024 10:44

I like dancing but I also have some muscle strengthening & balance things I need to do, I have MS and one leg is weaker than the other so I need to work on it so it doesn’t get even weaker.

I love the MadFit dance workouts on YouTube, when I’m not in the mood I do one of those and it helps get me started.

That sounds like a fun work out. I’ve seen those MadFit dances my daughter does them she’s really into her fitness xx

I am so excited you are seeing your house today, so you must be even more excited than me. Cannot wait to hear all about it.
@Apolloneuro sorry you are feeling low today, bloody men, why can the mot just behave like good human beings?
Just relaxing with a coffee before I get busy, getting things ready for a decorator to come next week. I normally do it myself but thought I would treat myself this time.
Have a lovely day all 😀🫕
