Hello everyone, I have just up and left my life back home in L and moved to a lovely place in the country for a quiet, calm life with my darling daughter M. Friends and family were in shock and unhappy with me, my mum most of all and my two older daughter's.
I'v moved away because way I see it is, Why stay some were were there is lots of bad memorys and continue to do the same thing over and over again day in and day out, I had to make a change so my path in life would also change, I just had to get away and just had to get off this crazy round about to take control of my life and take a chance try somthing new, so here I am renting two rooms off my ex boyfriend in the middle of nowhere. Brave or what lol but I'm loving it.
Everyone finds it strange that I'v rented a few rooms in the country off my Ex boyfriend and his mum who he has lived with for 7yrs. "Yes I no what your thinking" he is a mummy's boy, Dam right he is lol Some how I don't think he has ever had to do anything around the house in his life. His mum is great though and great with my daughter though and that is all that matters to at the end of the day.They have this spacial bond and she is so happy and content. but some how I still have this empty feeling even though this is the best thing I have done in years. Why? Thanks
Hi ange,
Glad that your move out into the sticks feels so right for you and your daughter. Any change takes time to get used to though. How long is it since you 'escaped to the country'?
Be kind to yourself - although you didn't want to live amongst those bad memories you have still moved away from what you have known and grown used to.
Welcome to the forum!
Hi Ange
How i wish i could move. Im glad you have done something for you and not someone else.
I decided to start doing things for me this week and its amazing how many people in my life don t like it
HM
Good for you, happy mama. It is amazing how change can upset those around us. Hope it doesn't put you off doing things for yourself.
it sure hasnt this morning bought new slow cooker off ebay and normally wait for it to be delivered but no in the car off i went I had to go near where it was a seller happy for collection. I now have a new Swan 5.5lt slowcooker in my kitchen - oh im so easliy pleased
Now off to Aldi for my fruit and veg
This time last week i wpould have gone to Asda got everything there and been sat waiting for the slow cooker to arrive
Just little changes like that make a big difference
Don't they just?! Enjoy your new 'toy' 
Hello, Yes I did make a big move and yes I am happy, to be honest it has been the best thing I could of ever done, but yes it was scary.
I came on this site to make friends just have someone to chat to and show other people that change is good and exciting.
My ex boyfriend is a guy I was seeing for the last 2 and half years until we both decided to be friends and we remain friends.
Yes I think it is important for my daughter to have contact and make sure that my 9yr old daughter still has contact with her nan and her sisters.
I am trying to set up contact with her dad who I was married to untill six years ago, when he moved in with someone else and had a baby who my daughter loves and adores. as for my family they were mad but love it when I come to see them and I feel respected more for who I am, an indepent women lol
yes your right little changes are good and defo give you that feel good factor and the fact that you have got up and done it all for and by yourself is important.
enjoy your new toy hunni
Hello HM, thank you for your comment, yes the way I see it I have took my life back for me and my daughter and started to do things for me and do what I want for a change, after years off hell.
Well done for starting to put you first hun and just watch how everyone around you may not like it but watch how they will respect you more

Hi ange and welcome to One Space from me, the move to the country sounds exciting to me, do you work or have any hobbies?
Hiya Sally, yes life is what you make it at first I was kinda lost but soon found my feet, I got my daughter into a lovely little school then joined the gym were they also have a play area for my daughter to play and cafe for my coffee fix lol I had to find the shops and were to park but it is all good fun.
What hobbies do you have and what do you like to do? do you have children?
I have 4 children (1 boy, 3 girls) and when i have time i like to read, do suduko and get together with friends, my most recent hobby is crochet, which i learnt to do of the internet, the kids have all things knitable coming out their ears, luckly my younger brothers girlfriend is expecting twins in a while so i have some new victims for my efforts 
I do get bored quite easily so like to try out new things, i think when i have got bored of the crochet, i will try needle felting, i recently had ago at this at a taster event.
Welldone you though on going to the gym, i find plenty of excuses not to go 
would probably go just for the coffee though.
Have you made new friends for yourself?
Hi hun, Yes I love to read I think it kinda takes you away from the real world n by god do we need that from time to time lol, I have just downloaded the new 50 shades of gray but then found 3 more books by the same person so me being me had to download the trillige, the lot lol, but not had chance to read them yet.
your realy sweet but god help your brothers gf lol, I bet the things your are crocheting are stunning tho. I loved my blankets and things mum made me for my daughters when they were babies, becouse no one else had them n my girls were always warm and colourful lol.
I do love the gym I find it helps me deal with stress and yes I have made a few friends ohhh yer n one cute guy has been giving me the eye lol.
I like trilogies too, have not read the 50 shades of grey yet as i have heard conflicting reviews about it, someone i was talking to the other day said that the second book is better than the first one!
If you have not found it yet we do have a thread on read any good books recently other users post their reviews on books they have read on there.
Are you interested in the cute one giving you the eye? Any plans for the holidays?
Ho right, I shall read that book next then, I do have them all on my reader.
I do bleave that you have to read a book yourself to make your own opinion about the book hun.
I think it is a good read, It has humour and leaves you wanting to no the next chaptor. Although I have only just stared the book I think it is intresting, funny, down to earth and easy to read. I will keep posted on how the book is going.
As for the 'omg no' but it is nice to feel attractive again, I am fine being single for a bit, I don't want all the hassel and stress of a relationship, maybe I am scared to meet some1 new and start all over again,
who no's. Its ok to look and smile though do you not think? lol.
I don't have much planned at the moment but I will be visiting my daughters and mum and the family most weeks. I am going to stay with my friend for a week or two. How about you? are you off to the sun shine? I hope this heat wave defo comes as I am sick of the rain and cold and the kids can't even play out in this awful weather.
Ange
We've got the sun here today,ange - how about you? I agree, it's taken it's time coming!
How's your living situation working out? Do you feel you & M have settled into being in the country a little more now?
Hello and welcome to One Space.
First of all if you are using your real name, we suggest that you change this. Got to My Profile at the top right of the page, click Edit and then change your user name and then click Save at the bottom of that page. I have also removed your daughter's name as we ask you not to use those either, it is to protect your privacy, Ok
Wow you made a big move there and you sound fairly happy with it on the whole......how old is your daughter and is the ex boyfriend her father? in other words is your daughter spending time with her grandma (his mum) Do you all live in the same house now? I suppose it must be a shock for your own family to see you move so far away. What were the memories you were wanting to escape?
Look forward to getting to know you, others will be along later to say hello, too.
