			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may know i am building a house, which is coming along nicely. I have my roof on now and my windows are in just waiting on the brick now YAY.</p>
<p>Anyway, i have a huge skip bin out the front for the builders to put their rubbish. One of my feral neighbours has come and dumped their rubish NOT IN the bin but right in front of it GGGRRR. I am so mad, it is just household rubbish dirty nappies and bottles and such. They have left some mail with their name and address on it so i am going to ring the council today to see if there is anything i can do about it. I wouldn't mind if they put it in the bin but on the front yard is just wring and feral.</p>
<p>Sorry had my vent now.</p>
<p>Take Care</p>

<p>The ex wants to try and work thing out but i don't know how i feel anymore. I am not suer if i want to get back together. I am so consious of the boys and i don't want things to go pear shaped again and hurt them??</p>
<p>We are going out for tea on Friday night as i think we really need to talk. I think he is under the impression we will work things out and he can move into my house&gt; that would be a long time in the making i think.</p>
<p>My biggest thing with him is he was always full of empty promises. and not a lot has changed.&nbsp; We will see what he has to say on Friday and go from there i guess. no point worrying is there.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know i know two blogs in one day LOL</p>
<p>Why is it that when i am finally over my ex and have moved on, he decides it is time we try again?? After he got himself a new girlfriend i grieved for the loss of our relationship and truely moved on. I no longer see him in the light i used to. If i am honest with myself i don't think we would last if we tried again, i think it would be purely for the boys.</p>
<p>I think i need a relationship where we are both equal and we both have trust 100% i still don't trust my ex due to his drug past and i don't know if i will ever fully trust him again.</p>
<p>Just needed to get that off my chest</p>
<p>Thanks XXX Sarah</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>I miss having quiet time after the boys have gone to bed to chat with someone and cuddle and just be&nbsp;a couple. Oh well.</p>
<p>Hopefully 2008 will be my year.</p>
<p>Have a safe and Happy Christmas all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Had an interesting phone conversation with my ex, it turns out the last two months or so when he was telling me he was going to move back down here and be closer to the boys, and try and work on our realtionship he was starting a relationship with someone else.</p>
<p>I am happy for him, i am happy that he is still clean and has found happiness, i am just a little upset about the way he went about it. He only told me because he wants the boys to go down to his house for a week (he live about 8 hours drive away). I am SO nervous but i know they will love it. </p>
<p>It funny how when you know a relationship is well and truly over you see all the things about them that annoy you LOL. I am so stunned that he was telling me he loves me and was moving back here then going over to her house and staying there????? Glad i found out now and didn't get my heart set on getting back together.</p>
<p>Now i can focus on building my house and getting the boys more of a routine.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well it has been way too long since i last wrote a blog entry so here goes.</p>
<p>I have bought a block of land and i am in the process of building a house for me and the boys, which is both exciting and scary.</p>
<p>Their dad is still clean but he has moved a good 8 hour drive away. He did this to clear his head and to help him stay clean. He is doing really well, there have been no relapses to my knowledge and he says his past makes him feel sick if he thinks of it oo long.</p>
<p>My question is this. I still love him so much and want to give him another chance but am being told by both my family and his that this would be a bad idea. The only reason i left him was because of the drugs and he has proved over the last six month that he can get clean&nbsp;and he is staying that way, he has a rental property and is doing really well.</p>
<p>I am confused.</p>]]></content:encoded>
