I had a really good time at choir with Lisa. She shocked some of the older ladies with talk of control pants and I got the giggles a lot at everything through the rehearsal!! Then when we were on our way out I commented that it was freezing and a guy piped up behind me 'it is isn't it but it would be weird if it was warm round Christmas time'. I turned round and it was the hottest guy in choir (which admittedly is not that hot but still, it turns out he has a sexy NZ accent!). I was a little bit flustered, as I am never sure what to do when new people talk to me esp guys, but responded and we walked along chatting for a short while and then I saw I was losing Lisa ahead so got a bit flustered and said 'right, bye see you next week' and literally ran off. Oh well...
H news... I got home last night and there was a message on the answer phone from the video store where he now lives saying that he had only taken a case back without the DVD in it. It is really strange that they have our house phone telephone number??? Why would he give them that??? I texted him the message and then sent a separate text with the gas and electric readings. He sent a message this morning saying that he had got it reduced from £98 per month the £48. I still think we are paying waaaay over the odds and need to switch company but I am not going to say anything and undermine the effort he has put into it. I sent a message back saying that was really good news and asked were they up for refunding anything? (in retrospect maybe I shouldn't have asked that and just validated his good work) but he texted back saying no, that new price reflected a refund for our overpayments. I wrote back saying never mind, that was excellent news.
So, there is no emotion in his texts but it is good he told me - i.e. that he considered it my business. Often in the past he has just done things and not told me as you know like the mortgage holiday and other stuff. Also good that he texted back about 10 mins later in answer to my question. So, all boring news but perhaps communication may be opening up again.
I am feeling tired today and was a little overwhelmed at the thought of moving etc this morning. It is hard being shoved into a new way of life without it being your choice. I do see this as a real opportunity for me, but at the same time it is scary. Can I just retreat to my shell??
No reply to my email about meeting up...
(((Ali))) - They are so complex and not consistent either which makes it a minefield!
(((Ms M))) - no, this was my composition but I did take on board a lot of what Jody said in my last session and what you told me about your session with her.
(((T))) - the house is the thing that ties us really, I don't see how we can extracate from each other without selling or buying each other out and neither of us wants that I don't think. I am going to see what he has to say about the bills - he seems to like to be in charge of them so I will play it by ear when I see him, it is hard to get how he feels from email/ text without assuming.
Oooh, travel desitnations... so many. New Zealand would be my ideal and more of the Far East. I may just close my eyes and stick my finger on a map and see where it takes me! Or get a round the world ticket. I have found an instructor for driving... it is just finding the money! Maybe I will know more after my meeting with h.
(((Essie))) thank you for checking in on me I'm holding up ok, I was really good yesterday, not so good today but I think that is tiredness but I am getting better as the day goes on and hopefully tonight I will be better as I am meeting my friend for cup cakes which should be fun and yummy!
