Onwards and Upwards?

Got the car through it's MOT at last on the second re-test..dropped my usual garage and found another one.

Somehow the lads eeked out of me that I was now a seperated woman with two children so perhaps they gave me and the car the sympathy vote.

BUT the best bit was when they said "oh you will find someone new without any problems"..I stopped myself giggling like a 19 year old and accepted the compliment.

So the course is out of the way, the cars fit for another year, I still have enough money to live on this month and payday in five days...SO I AM DOING OK...yipee.

Now onto planning Christmas...the girls have drawn up their Christmas lists..need to make copies..before they go to Father Christmas..SO now have plenty of time to make it work..thing is...Do I pretend to be father christmas..or should I ask X2B to participate..

I know the girls don't really believe in Father Christmas..but then again they can never work out how we achieve the impossible..when we (a freudian slip, I used the royal we....twice!!) are so broke all of the time..(they will grow up one day and understand the word budgeting, wish I had learn't that many years ago).

I have to be careful..I am patting myself on the back...it's a bad omen..

Had lots of hugs and well dones at workfor passing the course...X2B actually plucked up the courage to ask how I had done..so he does care in a fashion?.

SO I am going to bask in the positives for a couple of days until...whatever occurs...

Absolutely nothing is going on about the marriage..I'm doing my own thing and he's doing his...I like it like that...

Such a relief to step out of the dark clouds once in a while...

But one thing I am realising is...a good cry...really gets the cogs going again.
