Hi CIW,

No real change as far as I can see, still getting the mood swings I've mentioned above. I'm doing my bit and have been playing it cool for a few weeks now and have really made an effort with new clothes, going out to see my mates, remaining pleasant with my wife (despite what she does and says) and generally acting as cheerful,normal and happy as I can given my situation.

The wifes been fairly pleasant in return for the last couple of days as well, got a couple of texts from her and a phone call whilst I was at work yesterday which she hasn't done for ages and tonight she asked me what I thought of the colour she'd dyed her hair and showed me how to iron my work shirts as she said I wasn't doing it properly! Not gonna build my hopes up over these things though as I probably have done before but I suppose being pleasant to each other instead of arguing has gotta be good for everyone.
