I was frustrated that we had a court-free day ahead, especially when I’d been so psyched up about giving evidence. As far as I was concerned, the sooner we could get this whole thing over with, the sooner we could get back to living our normal lives. The trial had only been going on for three days, but already it felt like it was dragging on. How were we going to get through it, if it just went on and on?
Although frustrating, I carried on with the day, getting back to my routine of looking after the kids and doing the housework. Alfie went off to school in the morning as usual and I caught up with the washing and housework. It was good to be able to switch off from court and pretend things were normal, if only for a day.
