I'm not going to lie, the first few Thursdays I left the kids at nursery I sat in the hall and cried. Ordered dominos pizza and ice cream and cried some more as I missed them. The youngest was 18 months (she was 11 yesterday).
But in time it came to Thursdays and I was pleased of the break! I found Saturdays a struggle, I couldn't justify the cost of football (I was on benefits and paying my ex money-long story always get a lawyer quickly!) and my friends are married so was family time.
Once the spring came, I got to know the neighbours in the tenanment block better in garden on nice days.
You'll get into a new routine plus you're on the to do list now too
