Its been 10 days since I wrote in my blog...a lot has happened in those few days. My daughter Melissa and I went over to my sister Elisa's house for NYE...It was so hot the aircon couldn't keep up. I managed to have one midori splice before becomming ill, not sure from the drink or the heat so ended up going home and was in bed by 9.30 pm. I woke up at 12.03am to see the fireworks on the tv, I wished myself a happy new year and went back to sleep.
During the week I have been thinking about Elisa and Melissa leaving to go to Perth and what I'm going to do when they leave as they are my support group. Even though I have cyber friends it just isnt quite the same as family. They know when my depression is bad and when Im heading into an episode.
So with all this going through my head Ive not slept much, during the wee hours I decided to ask Dave my dh to move over to Perth as there are more job opportunities for the both of us, a better lifestyle and his ds Daniel lives there as well.
So I plucked up the courage and asked Dave if he would consider moving...his answer was NO! He said "He was too old to start again, there was nothing there for him" So it looked like I was moving by myself as I was not going to stay in Dingee for another year. I am sick of the isolation, the 110km round trip to get food, the nothingness that is here. After another night of very little sleep I asked Dave if he would consider moving to Bendigo, to this he agreed. He understood my reasons for wanting to move into a town, I could go swimming to help my back/knee & weight loss, I could do courses to help me get a job.
None of the finer details have been discussed as yet Im just glad a decision has been made.
On a lighter topic I weighed myself this morning to find I have lost 5.2 kg, its just the incentive I needed to continue with the food choices Im making. I was hoping to give up cigarettes but with the stress Ive had during the week I gave in and bought another packet. I will try again soon.

I'm so pleased your DH agreed to the Bendigo move. You won't know yourself being in a town with all those support structures in place. I've also lived in an isolated area (a few times) so I know what you mean.
You need to look after your health (both weight & depression) so moving to a town sounds like the way to go.
Congratulations on the fantastic weight loss!
Congrats on the weight loss Jenni.
As for moving, I can understand your motivation. Hopefully Bendigo will provide the positive environment that makes you happy.
Bugger a 110km round trip for groceries. I reckon I'd starve if that were the case.
Wow that is a brilliant loss
well done!
Congratulations on your loss Jenni. 5.2kgs is HUGE. And yay for moving to Bendigo. A cousin of my DH's moved there a couple of months ago and she loves it. And she moved from Melbourne!!!
