I agree weekends are the hardest. I have had to make a deliberate effort not to rush about and keep busy, so as to try and come to terms with what is going on in my life. Reality does catch up with you eventually.
I've asked scumbag to come and collect the furniture he wants and his final bits and bobs this weekend-but he hasn't got back to me :(
I want it all over and done with!
Hope you have areally good time Sun

Jude, I know what you mean when you say 'all your friends are in couples' - it's the same for me. None of my circle are divorced (yet).

I love my weekends on my own I really really do, but I would like to meet local single mums to do other stuff with - cinema etc

Has anyone any experience of Gingerbread ?

I'm too scared to contact them at moment but in time.....


Hi Poppy

Not heard of Gingerbread before, but looking at their website they seem to be really good.

Never mind scared, give them a try. I'm sure you don't have to commit to anything and who knows what it might lead to

I find weekend evenings on my own a treat as my children are 10, 14 and 16 and are under my feet all the time so a bit of peace and quiet (and the remote control to myself :P) is wonderful!

It's sometimes more difficult to go out in that most of my friends are married/have children and can't go out at the drop of a hat. The single friends I have always seem to be booked up weeks in advance! I think I need to cultivate a new circle of friends in similar circumstances to me!

for the past few months I've made myself busy every weekend and most weekday evenings to keep distracted from whats going on. Unfortunately I've gone to the extreme and I'm exhausted. I need to slow down again but I have to admit I'm starting to enjoy the space, the me time, doing things when I want. Not sure what it is but I like it! But too much time on my own and I start going down hill again!

Maybe there is no need to force ourself to be happy straight after all end of relationship...sometimes we have to feel all the pain and loneliness till they cant hurt us anymore...I beleive if we have to be upset we have to be upset till get over it then we will be happy and enjoy by our company...
