Hi MsM, thanks for your response. I was beginning to think I'd have to go it alone with this one since I had over 70 views of my new thread with no posts!

There's been no back steps since my last post I'm happy to report. I had Wee Man for the whole weekend and we had a great time together. My W went out and celebrated her birthday since she hadn't got the chance last weekend. Last night when I took Wee Man back down I simply asked her if she'd had a good night without asking any details. She told me some drunken guy had fallen in to her and knocked her to the ground and she'd hit her head. She then asked me to feel the back of her head to see if I could feel the lump. My god it's been a long time since I got to run my fingers through her hair! It felt so good!

After I dropped Wee Man off, I went for a 2 hour run on my mountain bike to clear my head. I managed to find a couple of really good new trails which pleased me no end. It's been suce beautiful weather here that it's a pleasure to get out.

I'll have Wee Man back staying with me again tomorrow and Wednesday night. Then next week will be a bit different again as my W is going to one of the summer music festivals at the weekend. That means I'll be getting him for 5 nights over the weekend which I'm really looking forward to.

I think the fact that I've discovered that I'm still not ready to move on has given me increased patience once more. I can't report any massive amounts of progress but I also don't need it to happen in the short term any more. I'll just have to see how it goes from now on and try to keep the back steps to an absolute minimum.
