That all sounds a bit stressful about XH's christmas arrangements & custody stuff. I can understand why you'd be a bit peeved. Not that I have had to go through that yet, but I know the day will come.

Oh, good to hear about the phone dating, I hope it all goes well for you. How exciting

Well, things here have been a little crazy lately. I finally finished my first year of uni a month ago, but the day after my last exam, had arranged to take Logan to go see ex & his family in the central west of NSW. The trip didn't go too well & involved him getting drunk one night & following me around the house saying horrible things about me, among other things. There was more harassment, threats & emotional abuse the other weekend too, but that was through msn & I have blocked him on that. I am tempted to get an ADVO, to kind of put him in his place & I'm sick of having to check who is calling before I answer the phone. I don't want to change my mobile number & I had it turned off all of today. Had to get Mum to call ex so that he could wish Logan a happy birthday. I feel like doing this kind of makes it seem like he's "won" and I want to show him I'm not a doormat. But Mum says I am overreacting so I don't know what to do.

On to good newsI have been dating someone for 2 months, but we'd been "seeing" each other on and off for about 8 months before that. It is kind of funny because it turns out we've both had "crushes" on each other for about 9 years, but neither of us knew until a year ago. Apparently everyone else in our group of friends knew. A friend of ours got married in August, another friend said at the end of the night "You know whose wedding we will be at in 10 years time? Mel & Damien's when they finally get their act together!", so that was a bit of an eye opener I guess lol.

Logan's birthday went well today. He had cake at daycare. Then at our mothers group christmas party everyone sang happy birthday and i got to watch him blow out the candles. I even managed to put his tricycle together this afternoon and we played with that for a while. He really seems to like it even though he can't pedal yet, but hel ets me to push him around the front yard. Mum got him a pretend vacuum cleaner so he spent a while wandering around the house cleaning. Then he put himself to bed tonight which was so cute.

Sorry I've rambled on LOL
