Welcome Back

Hello and the warmest welcome back to my blog, formally known as ‘Two men, a Cat and Me’.

This is the not-so- grand unveiling of my new and improved look courtesy of Zoe at Chic Sassy Designs and my new name courtesy of moi 'Makeshift Mummy – Two cats, Youngling and me'.

I feel I owe you all an explanation and it may help to get it all off my chest. I haven’t blogged in almost seven months because I felt like a fraud. I didn't feel a part of 'Two Men, a Cat and Me' as there is no longer two men, a cat and me.

In a nutshell Youngling’s daddy (Doo) moved out seven months ago after many months of arguing and crying, from both parties. It was a reasonably mutual decision and a necessary strategy at the time. I lost a lot of my true self leading up to that moment and have only just started to gain my confidence back and find my identity. I only hope that Doo can do the same.

Yes I have been hurt, sad and angry but its not about me, or Doo for that matter, its about our son - Youngling. I can no longer change for anyone else I can just be the best mother I can be to my gorgeous little boy.

This is a fresh look and a fresh start for us all. Youngling has started going to Pre-School two afternoons a week and is growing in leaps and bounds. We've redecorated and added colour back into our lives and in the process we've adopted a friends cat, Charlie aka Larley. He likes to wind up PolPol but really completes our little family.

So thank you all for being so patient with me and welcome to any new friends. I really appreciate those of you who have contacted me privately or personally over the past months. Your love and support was greatly received.

This is the first (of many) new adventures and I am glad to be back and sharing them with you.

Ever indebted

Just Kate
