Back on track

It has been the most troublesome year of my life to date. I parted ways with my ex 1 year hence, after a period of 8 years together. Temp loss of family life as a good father, loss of my job, car, and repossesion of my flat, that I had leased out, thus I was presented with a most taxing year, even though In my mind I had thought it out proper and with some measure. Having gone through my losses and homeless route, I confess it no small order. I have since been recently housed again, and with such, a room and gardens, for my kids to visit and stay most weekends. I have just signed up for virgin broadband and tv package (Installation next week). It cheers me to be reconnected and return to my forum, instead of occasional visits to the libary or spending money in the dongle limited usage. Circumstances are slowly changing, to which my better kept informing. I do hope to be with you all more, rather soon.

I'm sorry to hear of your hardships, i can attest to the dissolvement of a lengthy relationship, and having to ponder what comes next.
The main thing is that you are getting back on your feet and that is of course wonderful news. Well done m8
And with the almost certain possibility of your presence increasing on these forums, perhaps we can have some justice meted out to the misguided and unruly here
regards.

Come now Pete, it is only my duty to obey, or give positive instruction/opinions, or in exercising my right to my own powers to act as much as possible conformable to the apparent wishes of our moderators, combined with the evident good of our forum.

I find it a necessary correction.

Good to hear everything is returning to a (much) less turbulent state.

Glad things are improving for you, I did wonder where you'd got to!

It doesn't matter how homeless or destitute subsimmers get, they always return home eventually.

Good to hear that things are improving for you and I am happy for you that you are able to see your kids. Don't look back, but try to see those negative experiences as something which makes you value the little things in life much more. Maybe that's all we can learn when the brown sauce hits us.
Walk on!

Glad you're doing better. My homeless period is public knowlege here, as is my recovery and current good state, so I do know exactly what you've been through.
