Life's been good to me lately, DH has a new job, which whilst leaving us slightly worse off financially (but still OK) means he works 8-9 hours 5 days pw, rather than the 12-15 he was doing 6 days pw. Also means his alarm no longer goes off at 5am. This coupled with the fact my youngest started school full-time at Easter, means that for the first time in 8 years I'm not completely knackered all the time.
My own part-time job is going great, rewarding work, with a lovely bunch of people.
I started (and stuck to) a new exercise regime c. 12 months ago, and now have a better figure than I've had for 20 years. I have a light tan and a new wardrobe (see above) and am feeling great. DH is loving my new figure (and confidence) too and as we're both not so tired now....we're having a great time.
Other people have noticed a change in me too. Not just looks, I'm much more relaxed (fun?) than I used to be and some of the men I work with have started to comment on both aspects. Now even a few months ago, I would have been either embarrassed or offended by it, but actually I'm loving it and playing up to it Does this make me a terrible person? How likely am I to be making a fool of myself?
Have namechanged, so I'm obviously not quite as relaxed as I think I am
