I guess really its New Years resolutions but on the theme things I'm going to do for me to make my life better - not for the kids (obviously happy mums and dads make happier kids), not to get back at the ex.

Things that are about me first and making slow positive steps forwards for me rather like the other post my challenge this week to not talk about the ex. I don't want my kids to leave home and not know who I am.

So far I have trust someone to babysit the kids so that I can go out occasionally.
Ebay as many old toys as they get new ones for Christmas and lots of other stuff around the house to save up and have a holiday next year.
Have a meal in a decent restaurant instead of just child friendly ones.

There must be so many more things I really ought to start wanting so that I move myself forwards in life. Suggestions welcome

Hi ANTagony.....
Mine I guess is to stop wanting this particular guy that I can't have. Have done for months and hes off limits, I've wasted alot of time...can't do it anymore.
I need to get a social life again, no matter how small.
And I like the idea of having a meal in a decent resturant too.
Move house.
New job.
I think I better stop there or I'll be here all night.

Heres to New Years targets I call them.

Last year after exH left I decided to do this too.

Firstly I decided I was going to be more sociable. Started this at work, In the past I became more and more withdrawn and would scuttle up to my office and hide, I started making the effort to speak to as many people as possible and wait until the last minute before disapearing, I also travel with the staff more and chat on the bus.

I also decide to try and find more happiness in my life. I smile even if I don't feel like and try to think of something that I can be smiling about. Instead of quickly getting annoyed with the kids carrying on I try to accept they are just carrying on and not being bad.

This year I am trying not to talk about and slag exH all the time, and talk about more positive things. I am also slowly making over the house to my style.
