Hi PM,

I've read your 'awesome post' lots of times now and I am trying hard to get that concept into my mind, though I will panic slightly when confronted when my first instance occurs.

Here is my Anticipation List, I have just asked the children what they would like to have here to make their weekend stays more comfortable. This is their list:-

Scalextric track - track to be setup (my son)
A football -(both of them)
Purchase some DVD's -(both of Them) - Funnily enough this was a suggestion my wife had made to me earlier in the week.
Books-(both of them) I have just ordered some from Amazon

This is a start so I will facilitate their requests before they come next.

The children have a fun run tomorrow so I need to think about they will require. I need to fill their water bottles, pin their numbers on, put suntan lotion on, get them to the venue on time. I need to make my own list to make sure they have everything.

PM, I also need to study the interaction I have with my wife. I will study your comments again but the one thing as you rightly pointed out that bothered her was not reading what her needs were. Would I suggest asking her for a diary of movements for her and the children so that I can anticipate events.

I don't want to look as though I am pursuing, also my wife would wonder why the sudden change, I want to be a bit more subtle.

Lastly PM, some more divorce papers came through yesterday, my question is would it seem like I am pursuing if I kept my wedding ring on? I believe in the commitement of marriage and the sanctuaity of marriage and do not want to take my wedding ring off once the divorce goes through. I know I am jumping the gun and I also know I have got to forget my relationship with my wife, but I am trying to think ahead and anticipate how this would be seen.

Thank you PM, I look forward to you response.
