Well, honestly I do put myself through some stuff sometimes! Just got a text back from h saying
'Hi, just wanted to say thank you for my present and card, it was very thoughtful. I will book a slot and treat myself. I hope you are ok. Sorry to hear about (the person that is annoying me at work)...is there a risk you'll lose the office?'
Basically she is the woman that owns the premesise where I work and it is in reference to Friday's text when we engaged in conversation and he didn't answer. Blimey it's complicated isn't it!!
I just replied saying
'Oh good, I'm pleased. Well, I think she's loaded enough to carry on regardless. Alright for some eh! :-)'
Light and not trying to engage him in anything further. I'm so pleased that he took the present in the manner in which it was sent. It was a risk but I think it's turned out alright. Phew!!
