Karen's Diary

[slaj]

Very wise Karen, my dad left when I was 3, my mom never put him down in front of me, she was always very "neutral" and civil towards him for my sake, there were no pics of him in the house, although mom gave me an album with pics of him and I had a pic of him in my bedroom. As I got older I really appreciated how my mom had been and I was able to reach my own conclusion about my dad. I am sure it will be more difficult with teenagers , but you will do the right thing I am sure x

thanks ladies. it helps to see how other people handle these things. He thinks i am poisoning the kids because i told them about his new 'friend'. they came in while i was crying and asked me what was wrong so i told them. they are old enough to know as far as im concerned and it wasnt like i was slagging him off. I cannot wait to be over all of this crap!

Good Morning Minis!

I have another day filled with uni work and housework. My tumble dryer has decided to play up so i have wet laundry everywhere. Other than all that, it is my day off before a 72 hour shift. Im not looking forward to it!

Today Im having:

B - pepperami and pork scratchings
L - Jerk Pork salad (left overs)
D - boiled egg and ham salad with mayo

Hi Scrumbles xxxx Thanks for the well wishes, gawd knows i need them at the minute I am so lazy today, I just cannot be bothered to do anything. My house looks like its been burgled I even did the kids beans on toast for their dinner. height of laziness! Still, they asked for it! I havent really followed my menu. I had 2 peperami's, a packet of pork scratchings, 2 jamie oliver sausages, a slice of ham, a dollop of mayo and a pot of sugar-free jelly with double cream. twas tasty!
