Thanks NTL! To a point I agree...although this is tricky cos one of my (many) failings is that my W feels that I keep her out of my daily life and my feelings - so I suppose I could easily have tipped the other way and the consequence of that has been to be a little "too" available.

Anyhow, I will think on what you've observed...its finding that fine line I guess. What I'm absolutely not going to do is to play any games - W would spot that a mile off and I would feel uncomfortable doing it - part of my 180 repertoire is to wear me on my sleeve...!

On another note W phoned me this morning - unexpectedly - and we had a great but shortish chat...it started off about S6 but evolved quickly to other stuff...what's going on with her today etc.
