Thanks for the perspective. Its nice to be able to post here among friends.
Sue, you would be surprised what we do at Christmas; tree, tinsel, the works. I live in Norfolk, just outside Norwich. Beautiful part of the world.
OK, major update (dancing round the room). W phones today 10 minutes before I am due to start a training session. All mad about work and holidays. Asked 'what are our plans for August'. I played it cool and talked about what I would like to do (inside I was saying 'You want us to be together next August...hooray, jump up and down, sing out loud'). Phoned her later to discuss and basically see what the sitch was.
Annoyed that her work is messing her about her holidays , but raaaaay for me!!!!
She will get a big smile when she returns home tonight - but not the real reason why.
, but raaaaay for me!!!!
