(((Naej))) thank you for reminding me that I can make a new home for myself again. You are right, I do remind myself of all the downsides to this house - how far it is from places, the running costs etc. and I try to keep in mind that I have been fortunate enough to be able to enjoy it for 2 years anyway, after the year I spent demolishing walls and things!! You know, I slept through that storm. I didn't hear it at all!
I moved back here because I thought I had no other option but to go to Surviving. Now it seems there maybe, no matter how slim I have to take the opportunity whilst still sticking with the plans I made in Surviving, I'm not straying from that path, I am just leaving the window open a crack.
(((Ali))) Yes, I think I was a bit confused too, or had mixed feelings. We exchanged a few texts and it was a good thing, however it didn't 'satisfy' me because I had raised my expectations. So, I have lowered them again and it feels a little better. I modelled it on how frequently I keep in contact with my other friends and it really helped. I was working on a relationship basis for frequency of communication and I have to remember we are nowhere near there!
With regards to ow I understand what you are saying but I have taken the viewpoint that while I see her as a factor yes, she is not my concern. H expressed an interest in being friends, he did that independently of her so therefore my relationship with him is my concern; he can manage his relationship with her. I don't know if that makes any sense.
(((Mishka))) Thank you the move will cut into my saving ability now I think but I shall keep on trying to save. Wouldn't that be fab to have a DB meet up
