Hello, my first ever post.
Just joined mumsnet looking for advice for my biting 2 year old (why is mine the only one out of all my friends?? I'm also the only single mum, how my mind plays tricks and tells me there's a link although logic tells me that's nonsense.) Anyway..
I'm 36, single as of 2 years and with a 'lively' (is there another kind?) 2 year old. I also run my own fairly sucessful business and live a pretty happy life most of the time thanks to fab family and friends - no maintenance from ex but happy to do my best without, and so far we are doing pretty well.
As my 2 year 'being single' anniversary is this week I have promised myself I will finally go for it and get properly out there - I'm ready for the big R word (relationship in case that's not obvious!!) but I'm too bloody knackered by 7pm to get myself glammed up and out!! It's so frustrating! I've managed to drag myself out for 3 dates with a nice guy recently, starting to think it might become something more - but was meant to go out with him last night but cancelled as just had nothing left even in the reserve tanks. Was in bed by 9pm and couldn't have held a conversation with my best friend never mind someone I'm trying to impress. And the last date we went on was a real struggle as I was so shattered - I'm sure I yawned about 5 times.
Any advice please?? At this rate I'm never going to get to remind myself what all the fuss is about...
Oh got loads of other questions about how and when you introduce partners to your ds/dd but they'll have to wait until I manage to get a few more dates under my belt.

ps. I've been in pjs since 6:15 bathtime. Not good.
