Thanks Sotto, you are right, I allowed myself to get too close and I got burnt. It's easy said but harder to do in practice.

H text me as I finished work tonight, he wanted to say sorry for not being in touch today and that he wasn't ignoring me, he has been busy buying a car as he has sold his ute - more debts paid down - and helping s21. I replied "thanks for saying hello, I am glad you have found a car" a couple more texts and then we wished each other a goodnight.

Two more days and I am on holiday, I am really looking forward to it. I still have no plan, I am sure something will decide for me - I am a spur of the moment kinda gal.
