I'm doing 24 things
Well it seems my ability too keep up with my housework is directly linked to my mental state! I have had a bit of a tough time in recent weeks and have let one or two things slip. I got up this morning and saw what a mess I had got into… so I have done a few bits today and tomorrow I am going to sort it. I have also just started to scrub walls down ready for filling and painting so I HAVE to get my arse in gear… they can’t stay the way they look now… so I have to do it! Forced motivation I suppose but it works for me. I’ll be back next week with an update… :)

How I did it
It made me
Happy! 
How I did it: The usual methods... his recall is still attrocious but I am working on that now with a dog whistle and treats... fingers crossed! I found a water spray worked wonders to stop him chasing the windserrn wipers when we were in the car.... kinda dangerous trying to squirt him while driving in the rain, but it worked so fast!!

It made me
Happy!
How I did it: I talked to them and explained I wasn't happy.... and in the end I did the only thing I could do and removed them from my life. Self preservation really but once it was done I felt like a weight had been lifted, and I started smiling again. Do it, if you feel dragged down because someone is making you unhappy... let them go and drag someone else down. Read how I did it…

I have been a depressed and angry mum for the first 6 or 7 years of his life, and it kills me looking back to think that he will one day look back and remember me for the person I was then, not who I am now. He is such a special and beautiful child and it’s my aim now to fill his life with as much fun and laughter as I possibly can. The small stuff is just as important as the big, so long as it puts a smile on his face then I am doing something right. He is 8 years old so maybe he won’t remember so much of the bad stuff or remember me for who I was before, but will remember me for the mother I am becoming, happy and smiling rather than angry and crying. God willing.
I have a son, nearly 9 years old and I’ve always been a single parent. Because his Dad left me such a complete wreck I haven’t allowed a man to be a part of my life since. I did have a relationship for 4 years since and I did feel strongly for him but I wasn’t prepared to let him into my sons life, and that meant the barriers were up, I was far too guarded and I pushed him away. I finished the relationship because it was going nowhere, when in fact it was me that was stopping it.
That was 18 months ago, and since then I have thought long and hard about my life, my son’s life and where they are headed. And I have moved on, taken a huge step and decided that now I think I could, ifI met the right man, let him in. Fall in love. How cool would that be! My son is cool about it, he wants me to be happy. Now I just gotta wait and see if someone comes along!
