Hey Lisa... I'm so sorry that I missed your birthday!!! Happy belated birthday, but sounds like you had a brilliant time! Wow, so many invitations. Thats interesting about the aub hey.. I think to be honest (and apologies for this) that it says as much about your H as it does about her.. that he would be willing to put up with that, or, that that kind of behaviour would keep him hooked and he hasnt been able to extricate himself once he got her number. He hasnt learnt his lessons yet. Sadly, he will, but maybe too late.
As for the job thing.. wow, you could repay the mortgage!? Thats worth sticking around for.. on the other hand, if you leave, CEO WILL pursue you and then you will be M and PG in no time (CEO strikes me as a man who wouldnt dawdle once he'd made his mind up about something) and then you could live in the big house and not worry about your mortgage anyway!! Its a plan, stan.
You sound very happy nowadays, I hope that you are, Love Al xxx
Thankyou! I wish we could have had a big party for my birthday. I'd have loved to meet BF (and you, of course). Maybe next year?!
I agree about H- I think that him putting up with the aubergine says something about his state of mind- he seems helpless when in our R if I'd behaved in the way that she supposedly does he'd never have put up with it. I guess there's not much I can do about it though.
I am particularly happy today because the team of hot guys are starting work on my flat. Vernon Kay is in the kitchen, Mark from Take That is assembling the kitchen units and Tom Cruise is moving the boiler. I can't wait for the electrician to show up.
This weekend I went to a spa (it was a fully paid day courtesy of the Big Man (that's what my BFF calls CEO) as reward and recognition for my hard work). I had a lovely time- a flotation tank, being doused in shea butter, facial. I've never done anything like that before so it was really nice to try it. It was also good thinking time. I feel lighter and much more positive now- for some reason remodelling the flat seems to represent a big moving on thing for me, so that's good.
It helped when the D papers arrived for me to review anyway (they came on my birthday- nice present to get ) They were all fine so I've sent them off. Let's see what happens- H ought to receive them in the next couple of weeks, although I expect he will probably just sign and return them without so much as a how's your father! Now I'm not DBing I don't need to worry about having expectations!!
CEO is back from a weekend away at his BMFs wedding tomorrow. I like your plan Al- I think I'm going to keep on looking into alternative jobs and see what happens if the right one comes along.
My Lady, I would be very happy to drop everything and come help you with the renovation. I am sure you can use a helping beaver,...hmmm sorry, meant helping hand!!
One thing I never worry about you, is for making a decision on impulse, without thinking it thru. Which of course is great because it's "safe". Only it deprives us sometimes from unexpected joys, pleasure and excitement... (and possibly heartbreaks as well). xxxx K
The kitchen project sound fun! I'd help, but it sounds like you have a hot guy team there, and I'd be overmatched! But I bet they didn't bring socks.....
I think a new job is a necessity for anything more to happen with CEO. (I think I've said that for a while.) Of course, there is a risk that once you have said job, and less proximity to CEO, things could die out. I don't think that's likely, but the biggest thing that brings you together would be gone. Don't know where I was headed with that... but it popped into my head!
Kalni, if you went over there to help her, I think the two of you would get a little distracted.... I might need to come over to keep you on task....
I think the renovation could do with an international help-along. Wouldn't that be fun? Jeff- I think you'd outman the lot of them
K- I LOL about your thinking comment. I probably do think things through quite a lot. On the other hand, when I'd decided to get the work done on the flat I booked it without having a kitchen plan and had to do everything really quickly. Maybe that's not realy spontaneity though I do like a nice plan!
Handsome- I think you're right about things fizzling out if I left my job. That might not necessarily be a bad thing though, so either way I'll keep looking around. Given the market is slow that could take a while so let's see what happens. Given my previous comments on spontaneity and taking risks I'm tempted to say that I'll just quit, but maybe I can start with a smaller thing than quitting my job. Baby steps.
How are you both? I get so behind on the boards and your threads both move so quickly, you popular kids you!
