Simone - I have been trying to log on for ages and my stupid computer keeps freezing, I so need a new one, this one sucks!!! Things can only get better for you - don't worry about DHS, you will show them they have nothing to worry about. You are a great mum and look after you kids fantastically. Be super nice to them and show them what you're made of. Onwards and upwards from here in. I am really glad you moved here, otherwise I wouldn't have met you! The new year is about to start, so maybe starting thinking about what you want for yourself and your kids. If you come to see IK getting fabric, stop in at my place as I am only 5 minutes from the Spotlight store - we could do lunch! I think in a relationship, you need more than just love. You need friendship, compassion, understanding and thoughtfulness.

IK - you'll be sewing forever LOL!!!!! You'll get so good at it, you'll have a new fulltime job. Good idea selling them on ebay too, great for extra pocket money. I am sure you sister will love it and you'll be able to give her lessons when you go over on how to wear it. You are a brave girl going to the rally - it is going to be sooo hot and I reckon the trains will be packed!

Jess - hope it feels better to get it all out. That's what we are here for - to listen and make you feel better. Like I said to Simone, the new year will hopefully bring better luck to your family - stay positive
