Thanks Jim and Pink. Yes, I can see your point. It may be more sadness and loneliness - who knows? I realised who she is today - I have met her. She works with H's sister and is an unlikely candidate for him. Similar age (not miles younger like OW1) and quite plain looking/academic. I can't imagine she would entertain a flirtation from him, particularly as she will be aware of the circumstances. Her reply was a one liner I seem to recall...

Well, I haven't heard back from H - radio silence. I've had an okay day externally - volunteering and work this pm. But internally I have felt pretty low and hopeless about our sitch. Probably just a reaction to the MH visit and reading that email, plus waiting to hear back on finances. I'm sure I'll perk up in a day or so.

Thanks for stopping by - I so appreciate your feedback, kind words and encouragement xx
