Thanks for the advice Sotto. Plenty to think about. S and W are going away later in August. Tomorrow S and I are going away to a theme park for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday on Saturday. I'll get back to W next week, there's no hurry and I have plenty to think about before seeing her for the first time in 5 months. In her email she tried to put a little pressure on by seeing there aren't many flats left etc. I won't be hurried as whatever is decided I'm sure it is going to put more financial pressure on me. She lives in a two wage house whereas I don't! As for her invite she still seems to be in fantasy land!
