Xmas dilemma

Ok so there I was talking about being stronger each day and today is going to be one of those days that I have to try very hard to keep myself positive.

I mentioned Christmas to JP's dad, as I was planning on taking Johnny to see my brother and family over the holiday. His dad has now decided that he is working and only has Christmas Day off and wants to see Johnny if I like it or not.

It looks like I am expected to stay on my own in a house that's not mine all over Christmas so he can come and take Johnny for a few hours. I am probably being selfish but this year is going to be hard enough as it is and I thought that surrounding us with people and family would make things a little easier for us.

Am I wrong ? What do you think !? Email me your replies and help me out ! X

Who Am I !?

I am a 36 year old mum to a 9 year old lad called Johnny-Palmer.

6 months ago my husband of 11 years decided to up and leave one Friday night, in those few minutes my life was turned upside down and was to never be the same again. To say I was devastated is an understatement.... I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep and ended up on medication from the doctor.

However, day by day I started to get stronger and I am still getting stronger each and every day. Don't get me wrong, I still have bad days but I snap out of it a lot quicker now!

So now to get to the point of the post! During this time I lost over 2 stone and dropped 2 dress sizes and it is now time to start to embrace the new me! I have just started to buy clothes that I would never have dreamed of wearing before and have rediscovered my love of beauty and make-up. I have started only this week to get some new hobbies and thought I would share all of these new experiences with you!

And not to forget, seen as I am starting from scratch you get to join me on the hunt for a new home and all of the beautiful things to put in my new house !
