Hi @florenceforever ! Thanks for the wave! I'm off to relax for the night now - i still have a warm bath waiting for me, which i will make full use off!!   See you guys next time on the forum! Could this be the last post of the night??? LOL (oooh i'm loving those smileys!) ... View more

Hi guys, is this meant to be like Twitter? lol   okay here goes:   Awesome sunny weekend! Feeling good tonight, might enjoy that bath after all! My angel's asleep, so this is my me time.     ... View more

1. How did you spend the last weekend?   THIS weekend I helped my neighbour with her garage sale, enjoyed the beautiful sunshine, went to the markets this morning, and sewed up a few oven mitts and kids' aprons for my business!   2. What is something you are grateful for and why?   I am extremely grateful for having my beautiful four year old girl in my life! It is incredibly tough as a single mother, and there is still so much stigma attached! I make ends meet though i do also receive some centrelink benefit - so iam grateful for this of course! But having my girl in my life - she just brings so much joy into my days - and watching her grow, and all the funny things she says - she's my angel!! she doesn't see her father anymore (left to go back to NZ),   3. Tell us:what is your first impression of the forum community? (be nice!!!)   Well I only joined tonight, but i am a bit hesitant as i don't get the feel that this is a place for single young mothers. It seems to be just for young people who are students. So i will give this a go and if it's the right place for support and to chat to others, then i might stay a while :) WOuld love to hear if there are others with kids on here, and swap notes as parents or single parents.   4. What's the last song you listened to (share the vid!)?   You will probably laugh, but...   5. What are you looking forward to this month?   Only five days left in October! Getting some more orders out for my business, buying some more art materials and the latest Art mag on pay day, and get togehter with my girlfriends, take my daughter to kindy, have that bubble bath that i missed tonight being on this forum! ...

1. I would like to design my own house one day. At the moment just designing dresses and sewing up other bits n pieces for my business.   2. When i take my daughter to the park (we live in an apartment just outside the CBD area here), I'm one of those mums that gets down and dirty in the sandpit   3. I squeeze the hot water from my tea bags with my fingers after dunking a few times.   4. I love lighting a candle and listening to relaxing music in the half hour before i go to bed - and journal or draw if i feel like it.   5. I adore Art magazines - that would have to be my downfall. And at $15 a pop it's kind of my special treat! ... View more

My three greatest strengths are...   1. Being a great (single) mum to my beautiful 4-year-old daughter! Best job ever!   2. I study and run my own business, so i have to be practical, organised (most of the time!)   3. Being friendly, compassionate and honest person, and enjoying beauty around me in nature and art (I love my art!)   (i think i squeezed about five in to that last dotpoint) :D ... View more

No - I don't want to have any more kids of my own, thnaks!! I've got a gorgeous four year old girl, and am happy :)   but if my next partner has kids - the more the merrier!!     Would you take your mum out on a date? (if a guy) (and vice versa for the girls - do you ever take your dad out to dinner by himself?) ... View more
