Chapter 2: the book addict rejoins the world

[Jaquaia]

YAY!!!! Did you see the look on her face! Didn't have her costings - left them out somewhere else, my arse! I just don't think she had them!

And she got fired first!!! That made my day!!!

What are you all thinking? A book? Sweets? Help!!!

PS...

I JUST DROVE HOME!!!

[Suzi]

I know! It was priceless! Haz and I high 5'd!

Go with a book - that was your first thought, but if it feels right get a book and some sweets.... F*ck what others think, do what feels right! You know this. You've got this.

WOOOHOOO for driving home! You're amazing!

[Jaquaia]

Do you think Northern Lights would be acceptable for a 10 year old?

[magie06]

That would be perfect! And woo hoo on driving home. I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand times, you are AMAZING!

[Suzi]

Absolutely!

[Jaquaia]

Ordered. And ordered A a Julia Donaldson book

Getting nervous now...

[Paula]

that’s two things you’ve done today that have been awesomely brave!

[Jaquaia]

J has told me not to get them anything so I've cancelled the order and just really starting to flap and panic now. He said he knows his children and I don't need to do that and besides, I'd be accused of trying to buy them. So... sweets?

I'm starting to get upset with myself as I feel like I'm messing up already.

[Paula]

You’re not messing anything up, you’re trying to do your best in a tough situation. I’d hope he could appreciate that ....

[Mira]

In no way did you mess up. Being thoughtfull and nice is never messing up in my book. I liked that comment that Flo made earlier. How if you get them something it might be seen as a bribe and if you dont you could not care less. Sadly everything can be turned around. But over time we see how people are and in your case thats something good.

You do care and that is one of your strengths.
