Oh man, I don't even remember the heatwave of 2006! That's so annoying! H and I visited Ireland in 2006 actually- maybe it was while we were over there. Rained the whole time, but it was very beautiful. Happy days.

It's raining in London but is pretty warm. Having said that, I'm wearing a thermal vest and a woolly jumper so am not exactly equipped to make an accurate judgement! It was gorgeously hot earlier in the week though- got a lot of chances to wear hot 180 dresses, and my H checked me out a few times when we met, so that was great \:\)

Interesting about your coach's thoughts. Did she suggest anything other than leaving H be for now?

Sorry you were crying earlier, but I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. It does get better over time, and the whole DB thing gets more intuitive. I think there are quite a few positives in your sitch if that's any consolation. And you have JJ posting to you- she's a DB Master!

PS> Not sure if this will help, but it took me a while when I first started posting to realise that to get more feedback on my thread I needed to post to others. If you find some people in the same sitch and post to them, they'll reciprocate and you get more feedback which can be really helpful (especially since we're all in different time zones)
