Ok - not sure if this constitutes me breaking the rules. I initiated the email - which I know I had promised myself I wouldn't do - so that's one rule broken. I'm thinking it might but would like your opinion. (BTW - I have realised now why I have backslid so much this week...it's that time of the month. My nerves got the best of me).

Email:

Cool!! Ooh, I am curious to know if they [something he had bought himself] are as brilliant as everyone says they are. I'm also curious to see how robust they are and if they can withstand your rigorous exercise regime. Very curious!

The weather has been really good here. Just to let you know....though I would have really enjoyed you coming over the weekend to enjoy the sun, I didn't ask because I didn't want open myself up to possible rejection.

Anyway, as you know, everyone has been going nuts about the petrol situation. I actually do need to fill up the car now though so that should be fun.

I hope you have a lovely day.
