Well the beach thing isn't going to happen right now. We were discussing possible near-future events when he requested that one!
We have had dinner together once, and he does cuddle me every time he visits (apart from last time but that was because I didn't want him to).
But yes, we are definitely going to have some more 'dates' before I fulfil his beach fantasy, and actually I have a couple of my own fantasies I have told him that I have made clear I expect him to fulfil
Quote: I have had to learn how to sip tea daintily and argue without arguing, and the art of not throwing plates when angry
O my gosh!
Maybe you need to switch to paper plates. They don't cost as much, don't hurt as much when you hit someone, don't make that loud crashing sound (some people throw plates just for the sounds they make breaking, no joke) and they are easier to pick up, not as many pieces.
jill looks cute playinf topless table tennis. She is just tall enough not to hit her head on the ceiling when she stands on the table Me, I am 6'4" tall and look awkward having to bend down 16".
Don't worry, I don't really throw plates, although I admit I have thrown books and cups, and Andy threw a glass at me once years and years ago, which shattered and then the glass cut my foot.
He never did it again; he was so apologetic, and I decided to get a handle on my too Greek emotions and became more moderate after that. I tried to be more English in the following years, but wasn't quite English enough.
Now I hardly ever get angry and when I do, I just withdraw, rather than fighting.
It's better, more moderate - but I just let him have his way the majority of the time and don't feel terribly powerful. I'd rather that and have my M, though.

Lou, for crying out loud. If you were at the beach in Spain, why didn't you come up and introduce yourself???
Wes, You romantic devil.....sometime when you're not too busy with that tart, Beth.....you can come cuddle me.
Big Al, Honest, I only do the topless tennis when I've had too much wine......which, in Spain, was always very available.
Jo, Could you get a grip on these guys??? Well, maybe that wasn't the best choice of words.....OK, can you make them behave????
The library have asked to read my book as they are considering it for submission to Nottingham City Library, so that's quite exciting!
I made a couple of big orders for leaflets and things so I banked a load of money and paid the graphic designer for my 'vaccination' book cover design - he's going to use a portrait of me, Andy and the kids all together, against a backdrop of germs and viruses. I hope Andy doesn't think I am implying he is a germ!
One of my direct debits on the credit card didn't go through and I thought it had been paid and it wasn't so they're fining me �150 this month, for their flippin' mistake! Ouch, - I am going to be in the overdraft for the rest of the month because of that and somehow I have to come up with the money to pay for my Christmas holiday, by mid-October. I think I will ask them to give me 2 weeks extra time to pay, because of this fine.
Got Andy's and DD3's birthday coming up too (DD3 will be 6 on the 4th October and Andy Pandy will be 31 on 9th October). I ordered DD3's present from a catalogue since I can't afford one from the shops - ordered lots of children's plastic jewellery as she loves that stuff, and fake nails!
Ordered that Celtic Cross Andy said he wanted (so that means no hair cut for me until November, LOL) - it's silver like he asked for, and I am engraving it with 'love Jo' on the back. It's being shipped directly from Ireland, so he had better bloody well like it And even if we split up yet again, I am going to force him to wear it forever
Jo - I'm so glad to see that you are dealing with your WAW feelings in such "interesting" ways here...
Thank you so much for all your comments to me lately. I needed a swift kick in the butt to get my head back on correctly and you let me have it. Doing much better now, thanks to all of you!
Glad things are going well for you Jo. Enjoy having Andy and the kids in your life, and stay focused on the positive. I know you will. You wouldn't have come this far without doing that.
And even if we split up yet again, I am going to force him to wear it forever
