Hey guys,

Thanks for visiting! You guys are all so lovely to me!

Handsome- I wish you culd see my posterior!

Beth- yes, we HAVE come so far haven't we? Definitely open a thread- I'd love to come and visit you.

Mishka- yes, that would be fun (and funny!). Actually I think the hot guy was going to ask me out earlier this week, but maybe lost his nerve at the last minute. I'll let you know if he does make a move! It's lovely to see you- you make me blush with the niceness of your post \:\)

Ali- yes, I think the CEO situation is 'stuck'. He's the kind of man who has to make the first move though, and I'm sure that if he was interested work would be the sticking point. On the other hand, he may just not be interested. We're going to watch the England match at the end of this month so he'll have an opportunity to do something then. If he doesn't he'll have missed the boat!

In terms of H, I don't really understand how a 'closure' conversation would help me(?). I'm sure he's not completely happy, and I'm sure that if I asked him why he left he wouldn't know (because why on earth would anyone in their right mind leave me?!). I guess what I'm saying is that I've moved on and I don't need a conversation with him to reinforce that. Hope that makes sense.

Beth, Ali- I'm not sure about what kind of feelings you want to read about? (Sorry!). Feelings about..... H? Life? Work? The D? Mishka is right in that I don't particularly have anything that I need to get off my chest, and I do think I my approach to my feelings and also to problems atypical. My friends say it's more like a man's approach than a woman's. Anyway, if you can give me some guidance about what you'd like to know I'll do my best to articulate it.

H and I had lunch today. He invited me, and we had a lovely time. Good conversation and it was a shame to leave, but I had to get back to work. As we were leaving I told him I thought he should pay the court costs for the D, and I asked him for the aubergine's address to complete the preparation of the papers. He looked a bit shocked/bemused when I said I'd talked to a solicitor; and he didn't send the address when we e-mailed this afternoon. Maybe I'll get that next week and then it's full steam ahead. I think even if he doesn't send me the address I'll get the papers done without naming her. (Just for completeness, I'm a little sad that we are getting the D, but not sad enough to not get it. So other than the very occassional sigh about it, I have no feelings about it to mention) (I have no idea if that last parenthesis even made any sense!)
