Thanks Jim for your reply,

For the last 16 years my H has worked away all week, so I feel my whole life for that time has been getting my own life, doing things by myself. And I have been doing more of that these last few months, going into the city, concentrating on my business, rescuing two more dogs.

I will try and think of a few more goals that I want to achieve in the next few weeks. My H won't bat an eyelid but I guess thats not the point.

There is one thing I'm saving up for and thats a trip to Norway and Iceland. My son wants to go so we will make it a joint holiday.

Nothing else to report apart from me asking for some money today to fix the boiler that broke down before he left. He was never one for helping with the house except for paying for the repairs. So I asked and he sent a short but to the point text that he will provide the money. In the past (probably as long ago as last week) I would've been upset he's so cold but right now I'm snowed under with work and simply just relieved the boiler will be fixed and we'll have heat!
