So what happens if she comes back with something like, "Well I'm not there either so you'll have to re-arrange to a time you can do."
I have to be at the house on 22nd November anyway, again to pick stuff up (can't do it any other day before), so I could re-arrange it then to coincide for ease, then I don't have to take a special trip to the house just to let an Electrician in.
How about "...other commitments. I'll re-arrange for an evening when I know I will be there to collect more things."
That solves the issue itself and doesn't inconvenience either of us...
I'm finding it really does work to use the less it more approach. I try it at work now, and when texting other friends. It helps get things done quickly, and to my satisfaction (and my boss's too) which is good. Tiny things like this are really helping me move forward; thanks everyone for your collective advice here.
I just find W so distant now. It's like she genuinely doesn't care. WAS indeed.
