Well, I didn't send the email as planned but, being alone in the office all day at work, I got to really being tempted to phone H. Thankfully, I settled on sending a quick email instead - and it worked! Took H only 5 minutes to reply:
Nell: Hi! How's your week panning out? H: Not good. Got a flu'y thing going on - everyone is dropping like flies. How are you? Nell: Mmm, need your nursey to come around and mop your brow?!!
Bit of chat then about how I had been past his place this week and a bit more on how I was going to ring and invite him to lunch but thought that he would decline - "maybe another time?" Told him about the cats driving me nuts and that I had to go puchase something large for them, on the way home (he's not going to baulk at the bill for that then!) and then mentioned that my wrists and finger were still really sore, but in an upbeat tone and not sounding needy!!
Also said that I would email from home tonight as one or two things to say ... and then I planned not to remember that I was going to do that, leaving things up in the air, equally as he did when he told me last week that he was going to email me and did not.
Lo and behold, when I got home, the second water bill has arrived (this one is for HIM to pay as I paid the last) and also the date for our tribunal hearing, re the house. So, both letters scanned and about to be sent off to H.
Am really marvelling (short term, I'm sure) at how well the contact versus no contact has worked out today! Small baby steps???!
