Lisa your wonderful relationship with your SD's is vindication of what a wonderful person you are. They are truly YOUR daughters.

Hi All

CM - thank you, you say the nicest things <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I have to say that it wasn't always easy for me with the girls, particularly when they were younger and my R with their Dad was new, but I worked hard at making it a strong relationship and I am happy they are in my life. Yes, I do refer to them as "My girls".

H_P - I'm always pleased to see you and thank you for your kind words. More often than not I don't feel very helpful, but I try to lend support when I can. I feel much more on an even keel at the mo, but yes, the dark days are still there and can be very dark.

Today I had my assessment day. I feel very positive, although I was incredibly nervous when I started my presentation. My 1-on-1 interview was with a man that does some work with my ex Boss!!!! I called my ex-Boss straight away and told him to put in a good word for me. He said of course he would! This work is incredibly important to me. I need the regular work so that if I buy H out of the house (which I would like to do), I know I will have some regular income over the coming months as my monthly outgoings increase. Please everybody out there in MB land, keep your fingers and toes crossed for me!!!!

Lisa

Fingers crossed, Lisa, and I agree with CM by the way re. your relationship with the daughters. Good stuff.
Cheers
