Ok, so looking back at my goals I managed to pretty much stay on track, so glad I wrote them down! Net result, relaxed and fun week for all, absolutely no R or future talk, no city trip, which is good at this time, but did score a last minute huge night out with me and H and we had the best time for I don't know how many months.

Old friends of ours manage an old Inn in the next small town and invited us last minute to a live music event they had there. H was in the mood so off we went. I danced for hours, met heaps of new people, we stayed after the place closed for the staff party where I played pool with H, and even kept partying once we got home! Gave me a two day hangover, thats for sure. By staying very quiet and not taking the temperature of R at all for the next couple of days the good vibe hung around so I THINK we may have taken things up a small notch. Eeeek, I feel like I will jinx things by saying that!

Fallgirl,

Its a bit much pressure for H to commit to look after the kids for me to do my stuff right now, but given our current progress thats ok right now. However, the mountain can come to me and I am organising more entertaining in our house, with or without H, and that feels good. Another 12 months or so and my little ones will find it much easier to stay with other people for longer.

Mindblank, yes good pick on the land down under, I am a little coy on location but you have the general idea.

I have compeltely worn myself with my last few weeks so a big aim is more sleep and keeping things at our current level. Also need to make huge effort not to go in for the kill when things going well, let him come to me at his pace. And prepare for possible setback as things seems to be going too well????
