Dh said he would send our neighbour over to check on me (to make sure I wasn't smoking like a chimney and drinking wine like a fish ) but then he changed his mind as she would just sit down and join me.

But I am going to cook up some meals and put them into the freezer for us so when I get that I can't be arsed cooking feeling I can just pull something out of the freezer rather than take the kids down the road to the fish and chip shop or stop off on the way home for daycare.

I'm pretty sure for the first 6 weeks I will be on here a lot but once uni starts I think i'll have my mind on something else.

LOL Nikki, I totally agree! Adult company is a MUST as it can get rather lonely, althou I find OB gives me my adult fix lol

Ooo you can defintely do it girl!!! Its not as hard as you imagine it to be really, probably the hardest thing you way find is not having a second pair of hands, therefore having to do everything yourself and I would say missing your DH.

All it takes as good planning, not necessarly (sp?) being super organised but at least having a plan of action for each day is a great start.

Power to you fellow single parent, may the force be with you......LMAO!!!

As most of you know i'm about to become a single mum for most of next year in 11 days, and thruth be told i'm not looking forward to it.

Now I want all the advice you single mums can give me. I have already had 2 weeks of practice (when he went to selection board and when he went away for a week) but very soon it is going to be for weeks at a time.

Both my boys go into fulltime daycare in February when I go back to uni but when we come home for the day it is just us.

My in-laws have offered to help out every now and then (but i'm already guessing it will be just taking Andrew for the night not Josh), and I have friends that have offered to help me as well.
