Best friends?

Hi there Lan - thanks for calling by and checking up on me! Got my bathroom nearly finished!!! And had H stop over a couple of times (S6) which has been great - although my place is still far from ideal for that.

W and I did the mini-mountain marathon and we finished - not first, not last - she's way fitter than me at the moment - I've just become a B and Q Aisle dasher while she's able to get out 4/5 times a week one way or another...in addition to the fact that she's part time she has a much greater sense of discipline when it comes to these things!

On tuesday had a challenge - W asked me if I'd done anything with the house? She wants me to sign it over to her. She feels v insecure at the moment - she's likely being made redundant etc etc. Although this is a bit peculiar as she maintains even if it was signed over we would still own half and half in a court - which begs the question why do it. Anyhow, I explained that no I hadn't - I'd been a tad busy ! and that I wanted a solicitor's advice on this...which she seemed to take as a much more extreme position than I had intended...Anyhow, I managed to escape alive, leaving by saying that please - she just has to trust me - I wouldn't do anything to make her and H more vulnerable etc etc. Anyhow, by time I got home - there was an email - a pleasant one at that...saying how she didn't really want solicitors involved and so on. Just that I seemed like a closed book and that's why she had difficulty trusting me.

Anyhow, since then I've had a couple of more than pleasant email / IM exchanges - with x's in!!! Long time since I saw that! nd the occasional "darlin" / "sweetheart".

I'm working very very hard not to read anything into this and KeepingBO - I'm certainly not going to do anything apart from what I've been doing for a good few weeks - showing patience and goodwill and being nothing apart from calm, welcoming waters into which she's welcome to dip a toe!

I'm finding myself missing H more and more as my house becomes my "new normal".

This week...well, no expectations on any front - pick H up tonight and drop off at home and have him O/n on Thurs, Fri and Saturday.

Best - GFI
