Well, it has been a bizarre two months.  I have not done heaps of the things that I wanted too, and for the majority of it we have not even been here between holidays with my parents and house-sitting for some friends - what an experience that was!!!

Anyhow, thank you to all the love here everyone, and those on Facebook with me.  Although I have not been around much I have been checking in and it has been great to know I have friends around.  Somehow it has just kept me strong. 

At the end of Feb we had the second court date and I was due in hospital also same time same day - so incredible thatI managed both successfully - everyone pulled out all the stops to get me through early at the hospital and late with the court so that I could honour my committments.  He never showed at court (surprise surprise) so that is it gone away now.  And there has been no contact since.  It is a great relief and most particularly knowing that there is a legal record now to back up my version of events.

As for the housing situation that some may have been aware of - I won!  PTL.  The council had to pay up for their clerical error.  The lady found me credible and I am still smiling like a cheshire cat when I think of it.

Our birthdays all went by well and we had a special dinner to celebrate my brothers birthday (which hit us harder than we ever thought it would) before preparing for E's 5th birthday the next day.  Am so glad we had that to distract us immediately as it helped us through.

Right now we are back to school, E is doing very well and loving everything.  We have nothing hanging over us now and so are just beginning to relax and look to what the future may hold for us.  Still really really want a job!!  It will come in good time though.

Gonna stop here so I can pop around and visit some friends ... IE is playing up - so if I dont make it to yours then forgive me and know that I will catch up when I can!
Peace
