Thanks again folks. Tutti - very astute of you. There is very little in my life that is just for "me" if you know what I mean. Aside from the glossy magazines I buy as my stopping rewards. I have one of those and a pot of tea and that's my "me" time. It's not good, is it? I never really have a time when I'm child-free. My kids used to go to their dad's and after my elder left home (went off to Art school) and I realised how little was in my life aside from them, and just how awful things might be when the younger one left home, I really did mean to work on getting something in MY life.
Oh well, things changed. My younger fell out with her dad and doesn't want to stay with him again. he hasn't done much to persuade her and so, my child-free time has gone.
This morning, bored out of my skull (my day should really consist of sanding painwork, washing, ironing etc but I don't much fancy that!) I have been remembering the significance of the smokes in my life. It was my "thing", my one and only "thing" just for me. How pathetic is that????
I take on board the comments about the 3 month mark. How typical it should arrive at the same time as a very bad case of PMT????! I'm dropping my daughter at her friends at 1.30 today and not picking her up again until around bed time. Mercy - I hear you very lovely day. I'm going to take myself OUT of this damn house. The sanding will wait.
Windy - I am looking forward to that beach.
Thanks everybody, for keeping me going. Determined to hang in until the 3 months blues AND my PMS blues, are passed.
Love,
Meg x (because my alias doesn't fit right now!)
