So.. to ML or not to ML, this is the question. Rob.. I was planning on doing what you suggested... stay over, but not ML. Last week, I kept my underwear on (yes Maria, I forgot to tell you that bit !!!). After living together for 8 1/2 years, thats obviously not back to normal yet!

Andabelle - he knows I have a bad back, and has been very sweet about it! It was surprisingly not wierd last week, only when it came to say goodbye. It must have been for him though, because I felt a little awkward in bed at one point and he didnt want to stay over the next night when he could have.

Today.. he called again.. I let it go to voicemail, so then he TEXTED me to say he had tried to call and got VM and would try again in a minute.. so I answered but said I was busy and said, call later if you like.. so he did and we chatted and after 1/2 hour I said.. I will let you go now, I have stuff to do... so, I am trying !

He invited me over tommorow lunchtime, he has 6 friends coming to camp for the weekend! I said, I cant, I have to go to college, but I will come later, maybe teatime.. he said, cant you tell them your back is bad and you have to leave early? I said, maybe.. he said, ok, I will call you at 1 and see if you can leave.

BUT.. he could have seen me tonight, but he said he was going to see MF instead. I was glad in fact.. but he is still tiptoeing around me and being a bit reticent. About tommorow, at first he said "Maybe we could catch up tommorow, or something" and when I sounded hesistant and said, if you like.. he said "Yes! Definetly I would like that". So its all still confusing hey and seems he is needing to chase me. I am a bit rubbish at that stuff, I know ,he knows, everyone knows I am a done deal, but I am trying !!
