Today has been the day from hell, and honestly I just hate being a single mum. Washing machines gone and broke, no clean uniform (it broke sunday but I was convinced I would be able to sort it today but I just couldn’t) couldnt turn the filter, I spent 3 hours trying to turn it and just couldnt so no clean uniform for tomorrow. I am so jealous of people that have nice husbands and partners all I kept thinking is I wish I had a man here as hed probably manage it in 5 minutes meanwhile ive spent 3 hours trying to twist it. Being a single mum sucks how does anyone enjoy it?

New washing machine all plumbed in by me and the 12 year old, only took 30 mins, I do usually do everything myself but sometimes get defeated. But feeling better now we will have clean clothes, it’s something you take for granted really!

Well done, that’s more than I could do!
Glad that it’s Friday and hope you have a good weekend.

I got my fence sorted today which was one of the things on my list I was most ruminating about. Still a million other things left on it though . My ex husband was fucking useless and I would have had to do all this stuff myself anyway
