hi marie, sorry to hear you're having a rubbish time, i'm not in the same boat, but didn't want your post to go unanswered. have you got local mums to go out with in the evenings?

well i always think it's best to feel sorry for yourself - noone else is going to. i stay in a lot whilst my partner goes out - i really can't be bothered at the moment with young baby....i do a lot of online jigsaws! sad, i know!!!!

Hi marie, I love watching DVD boxsets - you can pick them up cheaply on Amazon. There is some great stuff out there, and you get quite addicted and look forward to the evening so you can watch the next episodes. (How sad I am!)

Try something like Sex and the City - nice and light, and the episodes are only 30 minutes long, so you can fit one in before bed!

how about my name is earl? have you ever watched it? i really like that it has a positive message - earl is trying to make amends for his past behaviour but it's not too preachy. i was a bit disappointed with the satc movie. clothes were still good though
