Hi everyone

Dropping by with a quick update and to Wish everyone a very Happy Christmas

I have been working as Storeman for the past week, it's been crazy busy, anyone would think the supermarket is shutting forever, not for just one day!! But I have survived it and now have two days off to enjoy with my boys and new daughter in law.

H continues to text every few days, finding reasons to start a conversation and keep it going for a while. He asks me questions, mainly about my job and we share in jokes and memories, I try to keep it light and don't ask him much. I did ask him how everything is going to which he replied good thanks and then added the days off he gets over the next two weeks. I know I will be put back on the shelf when he finds someone else so I don't put much weight behind this latest appearance from him. Tonight he contacted s24 and asked if he can come and stay this coming weekend, it will be the first time he has visited the house and stayed with s24. S24 did run it by me first which I thought was very kind of him, and I said I am fine with it, it is his house so he should be able to have his dad to stay if he wishes. So I now have h visit to get through, I'm sure it will be fine, just like the wedding was, plus we won't be staying in the house together as I live in the sleep out in the garden. It will be strange seeing him again and I know it will most likely bring up some emotions for me, but I have to remain as composed as possible while he is around and then deal with feelings afterwards.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of my DB friends this Christmas, I know for many it will be a hard time, please be kind to yourself and don't put pressure on yourself to be ok if you are feeling blue or overwhelmed. Enjoy the moment and festivities for these pockets of happy times will keep you going.

Wishing you a Very Happy and Safe Christmas, with all my love to each and everyone of you xoxo
