Well - that was a night of revelations.

Karen & Philip arrived.

BIG hugs (with Karen). She was so happy to see me (and I her).
She said later on that she honestly felt the visit would be a miserable one. Me in a state. And she was SO surprised to see the old Ken and not what she expected.
Two hours of pure fun. Yipee!

I found out a couple of things.

1. The job that my W is doing is temporary. Last day tomorrow.
2. Brothers et al are telling W that she needs to get her bum home.

And one more.

Karen is so confident that this will sort itself (W) out soon.

I find myself in two (or more) minds about W loosing job. One the one hand I'm so pleased that she proved to herself that she has worth. Very sad that she's going to be unemployed again. But she's had a taste. That she will be back in "friends" house really bugs me. The money that she got she gave to "friend".

So I feel she's back to square one. But with big differences. She's seen what could be. She's getting pi$$ed off with the situation as it now stands (grass greener elsewhere? Don't think so).

Karen also mentioned the big public punch-up between "friend" and W. Tensions are building and are not dissipating.

Karen had one of her friends around to her home last week. W found out about it and was very put out that she wasn't invited. W had a few verbals with Karen. Karen read her the riot act. Have a feeling that W isn't feeling wanted. By anyone.

OPEN YOUR EYES!

I am convinced that the evening went so very well. Karen is not going to lie to W. But she is going to tell the truth about what was discussed. GOOD! If I can't get near W past the gestapo "friend" then I'll accept all the help I can from others who have seen the vast improvement in me. And rely on them to pass on their feelings to W. It's then up to her to her to be stronger than she's ever been and get a move on with her life - in the right direction - ours.

So - off to cook. Something and french-fries. Gotta work out what I can give the pooch's in the morning. Ran out of biscuits. Not paid until Monday. Who gives a stuff. Things will come right.

All together a very good night.

All the very best to one and all.
