Decided my relationship is well and truly over even though it will be a trainwreck breaking up but I've had enough 2021 is coming that its freedom year don't care if lose deposit on house or relationship with stepdaughter years of what I've got to come is really not worth what I'm having now. Told him to cancel holiday and I've looked into selling house

Did the same ole boring breakfast routine - child 1 - I want a crepe (no)
Child 2 - I want a pancake (that’s the same and still no)
Crumpets all round... child 2 throws crumpet and gets crunchy nut... gets jealous of the crumpet so steals mine
Ironing, 4 hour play in a field and a walk back along the beach and then finished it at my mums for a roast because she’s in my bubble and it’s her birthday tomorrow
I also did my first AA online meeting tonight. Which was scary and nerve wracking.

Shit day, had a lot of them recently. The only good thing and thing keeping me going is the baby. He's great and never fails to put a smile on my face. I know I sound like a soppy cringe insta mum but he is my best friend. Same old shite today but a few arguments with my boyfriend. Just getting on eachothers nerves really. He'd be in work if it weren't thanks to his broken ankle and hes just in the bloody way. Im due on (sorry tmi) so its mood swing mania over here. I ended up telling him to go but we both got upset and he came back. We're okay ish now but it's just awkward. Spent the last hour before baby went to bed playing peekaboo and he was laughing his head off. Didnt even have the energy for a walk today which is a shame cos the weather was nice for a change! Did a click & collect online... I hope when covid goes I can write more interesting stuff on this thread 
Baby went to bed, i tidied up & had a shower. Had tea and catching up on the soaps. Bed soon!

Arrived in Johannesburg at around 11:30am SAST time (9:30 UK). Good flight, no problems with security or PCR.
Parents waited for me at airport and drove me back to their place near Roodepoort
Unpacked in my lovely spare bedroom
Had lunch on the patio, and had a paddle in their small pool
Glorious sunshine, temps at the moment 24C, with more to come over the next few days
3:30pm now, and I think I will hit the sack for a couple of hours
Hope all is well in the UK x

Good evening
Back in England and home
A very long, hectic and stress-filled 24 hours, but in summary:-
Flight from J'Burg to Paris was delayed due to assholes who hadn't provided the correct Covid paperwork and kicking up a fuss, plus twats on the plane not wearing masks causing anguish to others
4 hours of having to hang around CDG airport in Paris for my connecting flight to London
Flight was delayed by almost half hour due to air traffic problems over French aerospace
Arrived at heathrow 20 minutes late due to problems at T2 at Heathrow
Long delays at security and baggage
Missed my flight to Manchester, no further flights until Monday
caught Tube to Russell Square, and walked to Euston Station
Caught 1:05pm London to Carlisle train, arrived at around 5pm
Caught local train to my neck of the woods in the Lake District
Caught taxi to my local village but shops were shut
Arrived home at 7:15. House is fine thanks to friend keeping an eye out over the last few weeks
Lots of mail, christmas cards and parcels, but nothing fresh in the fridge, no milk or bread, and chest freezer empty as planned before I left.
Gagging for a hot cup of tea/coffee, but I do have wine!!!
Going to put my electric blanket on, take a shower, go to bed and self isolate for the next 10 days
Feels like I could sleep for that long too.
Night all xx

In a much better mood than yesterday. Me and my fella have got on today and had a nice day. Not much to report on, a walk to Asda to get our click and collect. Baby did 3 steps 
he's in bed, late tea and watching TV. Been quite tired today so early night for me

I have just finished all of my university work for the rest of the year (until October when the new academic year starts). 2 pieces due in January and the rest due in May all finished!
20 minutes to go until midnight (hour in front of the UK here) and I will go into the new year with no university work to do!!
The relief you would not believe!
Happy New Year Everyone

It’s my birthday today 28 years young
Woke up, sent a few work emails
Showered/got dressed
It’s snowing really heavy where I live, went for a snowy walk. Good to get out!
Going to order a takeaway later & open my presents with my family. Quite cool having a lockdown birthday!

I had an argument, before 10am!
Yesterday I recieved a parcel. I had it sent to my dads address by accident instead of mine from Asos. Anyway, I had opened said parcel yesterday evening to notice all my beauty stuff I had ordered wasn't in there. So I got through to my sister this morning, as she had forwarded it here, for her to then tell me "my eyes lit up so I took them" and that she thought my new trainers were disgusting. I just find it really rotten she opened and went through my parcel helping herself to what she fancied from it before forwarding it on!
She's 35. Has her own money. We haven't fallen out for years. She usually has quite strong morals and would go absolutely berserk if anyone did the same to her. She doesn't see anything wrong in what she has done at all!

Had a long awaited telephone consultation with my surgeon. Not positive news really; will need to have some further tests but it appears my kidneys are f&@£ed alongside a few other things. I’m normally a strong person (have to be) but I wasn’t expecting this today. Regardless, life has a habit of throwing me my fair share of curveballs; I’m not throwing in the towel yet. Have an eight year old who needs his mum.

Thanks for the warm welcome back comments
I went to bed at 8:30pm last night and didn't wake up again until 9am this morning!
I went to the loo in the middle of the night but my addled brain was confused and I thought I was still at my parent's house and ended up walking into my storage cupboard!
Because I'm being a good law-abiding person I didn't go out for my usual run this morning and continued to self-isolate
Managed to get a Morrisons delivery for Wednesday at 9pm, so ordered a shedload of stuff
My friend came round and dropped off my car she'd been looking after in my absence. She also handed me a bag full of essentials such as milk and bread while we chatted through my kitchen window
Opened all my mail, parcels and the odd Christmas present
Text my g/f to say I was safely back home. She wanted to come over but I told her she won't be able to for another 10 days.
Stripped the bed and did a shedload of washing
Went into my back garden to top up the bird feeders, and then quickly realised I was definitely back in England because it was friggin' cold!
This time last week it was 34C in J'Burg, and yet this morning here in the Lake District it was just 1C at 10am
It was so cold in fact that I'm sure my nipples dropped off and rolled down the garden path!

Tattle seemed to have stopped notifying me of updates on this thread but I just caught up. Was thinking of you this weekend for your flight @Mulholland Drive , I'm glad you finally got home 
Welcome back to freezing cold England!! Have you got any nice plans with your gf for after the 10 days?
Today was my first day at the new job
4 zoom meetings back-to-back this morning, lots of meeting people, and a long phone call to IT to set up the work laptop they sent me
Made halloumi salad for lunch which was very nice
Did some work for my new manager which she seemed happy with
Realized that I was still having technical issues on the work laptop by the end of the day but thought "I'm not working late on my first day" and logged off
will fix with the IT man tomorrow morning
Made a snack and did an upper body workout
Washed my hair and trimmed my fringe which I like. It's shorter, but not too Lord Farquaad-y. I feel very
arty with this fringe
Cooked dinner
Going to watch more Haikyuu now and read my Anthony Kiedis autobiography before bed
All in all, a quite successful day, looking forward to tomorrow

Yesterday was a horrible depression day. I got up at 8 but spent the day on the sofa, didn't get dressed or showered or bother with food. Today feels better! I've had a cup of tea and will get up shortly to pop to the shops. I will have a bath later and consider that my achievement!
