I had a great day today. It was really sunny (my nose has gone pink - even though I had factor 60 on!) but quite windy. I resisted paddling as it looked flippin' freezing! And you are right naej, no single, straight men lol. Although I think my Dad would have cramped my style *cringe*
Eating fish and chips, nearly being blown off the pier and a ride on the dodgems - couldn't get much better Oh yeah, and getting pooed on by a seagull which is apparently good luck?? lol!
Julia, that sounds heaven. I could almost see you licking your a 99. I come from a place that had lot's of seagulls and now live in a place with far too many!

I think its lucky for the dry cleaners I didn't even know you could buy a factor 60! if I use 25 I think I am being super sensitive, used to be an oil and vinegar girl! I guess you are fair skinned. Sounds like you had a good time anyway. Good for you and Dad.
Julia, I love learning about British culture in your threads. Now, what the heck is "a 99"?
I think it's great that you and H are talking more, and I think that's all from your hard work and patience. However, I agree about keeping expectations low, even lower than you think they should be. Remember: you're giving him what he thinks he wants, and WAS are super nice when they are getting what they want.
Now is the time to crank up the busy, happy, mysterious, distracted, "oh-hi-H-didn't-see-you-there" Julia. Remember: your life is amazing, there's no acting involved.
Have a good weekend! I'm wearing my wedding dress this weekend (for a perfectly good reason! NOT cause I'm sitting around crying in it). Totally unintentional on my part. Wearing it for a show my friend asked me to be in, she asked me to wear the dress cause it fits the white color scheme she's going for. It also happens to be the last weekend of my marriage. How perfect and strange is that?!

Iamlost, I am not Julia but will just tell you that a 99 is an ice cream cornet (cone) with a chocolate flake in the top. Good luck with the show. I am glad you clarified it as I had thoughts of Miss Faversham!
I hope it doesn't stir up any deep emotions given the timing.
your day with your Dad sounds super sweet. That's awesome you can spend time with him and have fun! What a valiant man to try to save you from the seagull poo!
Ahhh..I see, a Drumstick. Those are some of my favorites!
HA! Naej, you crack me up! Miss Faversham! I hadn't thought of that book since I was 14. I was forced to read it in 9th grade English and it turned out to be one of my favorites.
((((Julia)))))
You sound like you are doing so well! Glad to hear it.

I have to admit to struggling the past couple of days. I think I know what set it off... the old Facebook issue. I have to say that since deleting his friends and sister I have been really good and not looked but then yesterday he flashed up on there. His update said
'H... was under the impression that everyone knew'.
Someone else commented something that didn't make any sense and the ow wrote 'hee hee'. Now I know that stressing over this makes no sense, perhaps I just need to get it off my chest here?! I mean, I have no idea what that means but it makes me feel anxious and slightly paranoid, which I know is irrational. I suppose it has brought up feelings of me just wishing that ow was not in the picture. This whole thing would be so much easier. 99.9% of the time I do not let her encroach on my thinking space but she seems to have popped in there and I need to find a way to manage her. At the end of the day I enjoy FB and don't want to de-friend him so I suppose I have to find a way to manage it.
In other news we were texting each other before the weekend regarding the house and he also said that he sent my present to work. The people who are buying the house have slowed right down and H was going to call the agents over the weekend. I then left it and yesterday he texted me to let me know he got the job and asked whether I had got my package yet - the tone was back to his formal tone again. I replied this morning saying how pleased I was to hear that and that I wasn't in the office till tomorrow (I am at a conference). He texted back with house news.
I guess I feel unsettled at the moment. My worries are
- Where am I going to live and what is going to happen next in my life. - I am a little anxious about him getting a new job. Although in many ways this is good as he blamed leaving me on wanting to spend more time at his new job and with friends. I guess he realised the job couldn't give him what he needed. And also him and ow will have one less thing in common. - I really want to celebrate his new job with him and feel a bit left out. I want to hear all about it and celebrate and worry she is filling his love bank by being there to celebrate and I am unable. - I am scared he is going to buy somewhere with her after he gets the money from here. - H's tone in texts has gone back to formal after our meeting - natural I guess.
I guess I am a little apprehensive about the future.
Ok, reassessed the texts after getting that all off my chest and feeling better, and they are not negative or different - they are normal. Perhaps, dare I say it, I am being negative and wanting things to move faster than they are but at the same time scared that they are moving at all. Ok, that makes no sense. I'm going to stop analysing now
Oh yeah, and getting pooed on by a seagull which is apparently good luck?? lol!
