(((Lola))) - I think what you said about letting the WAS's take control of the flow of information that they are comfortable to give is really key, also something I need to work on and am going to try really hard at on Wednesday - my mantra, must keep my mouth shut and then hopefully it will at least halve what comes out of my mouth!! lol
(((Poet))) - Thank you for stopping by my thread. Going dark is really hard, but I seem a lot more able to do this these days. I am not as anxious as I was. Of course I go through stages but the rollercoaster is not so steep. I am kind of lucky that the d word has never been mentioned but I don't think that means it is any less likely to be there. He is just not ready to embrace that yet (hopefully it never will be) but I have to be prepared just in case. Copy away on the quotes no problem.
(((Pisces))) - Thank you for stopping by. I do feel quite clear at the moment which is great. I'm trying to keep up my PMA!!
(((ITH))) - I have read Mars and Venus and it was very enlightening and really helped me in my interactions with my h. It also helped me understand some of his behaviour and not to react to it as I would have done before. The only thing was it made me blame myself, which I have a tendancy to do, a lot for past interactions thinking I should have known better, but after I got over that it was really helpful.
(((Jen))) - Yes, it is great news. I am trying not to have any expectations!!
Well, what a great day yesterday. I went to the Notting Hill carnival in the afternoon, which I have never been to before. It was really amazing, just loads of people everywhere dancing in the street and eating great food and chilling out. It was really good. There were loads of police everywhere so I felt really safe and even they were just all relaxed and friendly and chatty so it was really cool.
In the evening Lisa and I met up for the Prom. It was such a good concert. We 'prommed' which means you buy standing tickets on the day. We were up in the Gallery of the Albert Hall which is one of my favourite ever places to be. I love it up there, you get an amazing view of the Hall and you can just chill out. The quality of the music was just phenomenal and of course the company was great and we got whistled at on the walk back to the station so were clearly looking hot
I'm off to my Mum and Dad's for a roast dinner today - yum! And then meeting my best friend for a coffee as she has been away for the past few weeks so we need to catch up.
