Kinda newbie-ish...

[emmalou78]

Can I join the board, please.... I used to be a proper Mnetter back in the day - but drifted away... Anyway yes,.. here I am now 32, 2 kids and on m'own since 2008... and oh I dunno, sometimes it'd just be nice to connecct with people in the same boat y'know...

Anyway, yes...I'd say more, but you might turn round and say b*er off, this is a local board for local people.. and you might think christ she's mental.. and y'know I might be - but I kinda like people to work that one out over time...

cheers.

Welcome Em! How are you finding being a lp? Are you happy with life? x

Ach it has its ups and downs but thats parenting for you - in any shape or form...

I can't grumble really, well I can - I'm up there with the masters of grumbling!, but right now, everythings on a good even keel, the ex and I are till on friendly terms, and now he understands I really don't WANT to know just how happy he is with his new lady,well its easier, you know...

Happy with life - ach I rub along ok, gets awful lonely sometimes but I'm on good terms with my kettle, and there's nothing like a cuppa to set you back on the right track...

so where do all the hip kids hang out then?

I didn't understand a word of that

much too cool lingo for me.

are you scottish? x

am I Scottish... erm, no

I'm almost a northerner though if that helps..

I suppose what I meant was.. I get along Ok as an LP, and mainly I'm happy.

You live in Royston Vasey?

No.. but as an aside - I do live quite near where LoG was filmed...

Hello !

I have been sailing in this boat for almost a year now and its been pretty choppy at times to say the least !

I am happier though and the only thing I still dont like is handing my dc over every other weekend like this one !! Usually I make loads of plans but it just hasnt come off this weekend and I am wishing I was at a bonfire night with dc as this will be first time ever I havent taken them

I would also be better off having a relationship with the kettle rather than the bottle opener but hey ho

Hnading the kids over is horrible isn't it, and I'm on relatively good terms with the ex

I HAVE to have a plan when I'm on my own - he had them for a week in the summer, and I forgot to plan ANYTHING and went stir crazy rattling round on my ownio...

Its bad enough at night when they're in bed!
