Leaving it up to God (but still interfering!)

[Coly23]

Hey SKM, thanks for checking in and shaking me out of my lethargy!

Packing a house to move has got to be one of the worst things to do however it's also an opportunity to de-clutter and that's a good thing! Please update your thread when you have a moment it would be good to catch up on the 'new things' that have come up in your sitch....

Nothing much happening with me. After H asked us to go lunch with him on the holiday Monday he didn't contact me for the whole week before until the Monday morning when he asked if we were still okay to go to lunch. Old Coly would need to have everything planned at least two days before and would have contacted him to find out what the plan is. However I didn't say a word and to be honest if he didn't follow through it really wouldn't have bothered me. We had plenty of other things we could have done.

Anyway, lunch was nice and he paid again. He came back to the house and watched a film with us and tried some of the energy balls myself and D have been making to stop us from eating naughty things. They are delicious but they still don't stop us from snacking!!

I've had a really busy week at work and it's about to get busier next week so bracing myself! Myself and D went shopping yesterday and had a really lovely late lunch. We had a bit of a chat about her getting a job between finishing school and starting college as she is really feeling the change in our financial circumstances now. I do give her £50 a month but she usually spends that in the first hour after it hits her bank account!

H used to give her £50 a month too but I stopped him from giving her any money because I didn't want his financial help with bringing up my daughter. Anyway, I realise now that the only person I am hurting is D because of my stupid stubborn pride and my need to show H that I don't need him. So I texted him this morning and said that it would be great if he could restart her monthly pocket money to supplement her when she gets a job and also I would appreciate it if he could increase the money he gives me for bills although he is still getting off lightly!!

Anyway he texted back and said he is happy to do both and and asked if I was free for coffee/lunch next weekend. The only thing I am struggling with is that he said 'maybe we could grab coffee or lunch next weekend if you are free'. So does that mean just me or D as well? Should I ask? Anyway, I'm not going to chase him. I'll wait for him to remind me and if he is really lucky I might suggest doing a small BBQ at home.

If he doesn't then no skin off my nose! I've always got so much to do at the weekends these days anyway!

Happy Sunday everyone!!
