Well, it has been a busy (I wrote busty then but that would be a whole different thing! ) week. Work has been great and I feel like i have made personal progress in confidence and not being afraid to stick up for myself and push my point.
I emailed h a friendly upbeat email because when we met we had talked about work and he had offered to get in contact with someone that may be able to help with an aspect of work. He replied straight away.
Hi, hope you're ok. I've had a frenetic week so I'm thrilled it's nearly over. I've also applied for a couple of jobs - (which he then described). Fingers crossed, I really think I need to get out of here.
I have dropped X a line but he has been in X recently working for X on the launch of an X. I will send him another email before I leave today and ask if he can get in touch with you, at least by email, to explore things. Sounds really frustrating the way they aren't exploiting this opportunity. While you're waiting you should just carry on pushing the issue yourself, you know what you're talking about! I'm also still trying to get details of that media training, I'll keep you posted!
Let me know if you do find that music. Also I got a letter in the post yesterday from the solicitors with a fairly lengthy application form for the conveyancing. I'm happy to fill most of it out myself, however there are some things which we are going to need to discuss - for example, furniture/fixtures/fittings included in the sale or potentially included. Also the form asks how the proceeds of the sale are going to be split. This is a bit of a delicate subject, for me anyway, so maybe it would be best if we met up next week sometime to discuss it? Let me know what you think.
Hope Maple is okay.

So the bit highlighted in red made my heart sink. Ugh! I've got to have that conversation. Of course it made my head explode with possibilities (mainly of the negative nature!) but I am stopping myself. I want no more out of this house than i am entitled - i.e. half. That is what I am entitled to by law so I will accept nothing less. Of course I will go into the meeting with an open mind but clear boundaries about where my empathy ends.
So, the positives/ goal achievements - the email is nice, opens up to me about his jobs (something we used to bond over when together), he replied straight away, he is encouraging me and showing that he thinks I am strong and capable. He also has actioned some of the things he promised to do for me when we met for a meal. I love learning the point from DBing that if you have said it he has heard, before I would have nagged!
Distraction is going to have to be employed and a large order of stop signs to not make me dwell on what he is going to say. Must not assume but that does not mean that I can't be prepared. Plus look ultra hot for the meeting - I have a fab new dress. Seriously, it's like waiting for exam results though - he obviously does not think about the impact of his words. Why do I find that surprising?
) week. Work has been great and I feel like i have made personal progress in confidence and not being afraid to stick up for myself and push my point.
