Thank you for the Birthday Wishes job, Bright, Bea and Gwen.

Thanks Gwen for your kind words, they mean a lot to me and I always love hearing from you.

Well, what da know, h tm again this morning - that is twice this week. I am happy he tm and not calls as it gives me time to stand back and think of my answers.

The jist of this conversation -

H - Morning, hows your weeks going? (have to check in on my elders wink ) -this is because I am older by 3 months - He then said his started off badly when he reversed a work van into a car, not a good first impression!

me- Oh Dear! Killer week, but getting into a routine now. You ok?

H -Yep, job less intense than last one. Home is still the same, settling in to work before I look to cause upheaval there. Glad you settling into work, hope your managing to build a life around it.Can I ask a favour? I have to pay the excess on the insurance for the accident and I am now paid weekly (he used to be paid monthly) so can I defer this months payment to you.

Me - Yes to money (figure that he has never been late on a payment yet and first time he has asked for a defer. Now I know this could be seen as fixing, but it could also be seen as doing something kind which puts me in a good light) Yes I am building a life, I am off out right now actually (was going to a g/friend for coffee before work)

H - Thank you for holding off on the payment.

Then we talked about s18 for a couple of tm

Me - Have a good weekend x

H - You too - apart from having to work frown x

I know in DB world I was not supposed to ask him if he is OK or give him an inch on the money or add the sentiment, but as we are trying the "friendship" thing, I need to give on something.

These past tm I am ok with, just carrying on as normal, like he is just someone I know.

Anyway - enough of the h talk, he is just happening in the background atm - its all go with the GAL stuff, just been invited to another party and a couple of coffee dates. Then a girl I work with (who's party I was kidnapped from) told me she loves crafting and finding old stuff to recycle -snap smile - so she is going to show me around the best secondhand places.

Today I bought some really cool fabric to make cushion covers with.

My stuff has arrived back in NZ and is clearing customs atm, so hopefully I will have it with me very soon. I have not seen it for 6 months while it went around the globe!!

Last shift tomorrow and then 2 days off. I am off to the pub Sunday afternoon with a new friend and then into town to have a pamper at the hairdressers on Monday.

Life is definitely looking up grin
