    Snags, I think that's a good attitude - if you block him then he'll think you're bothered ;)

    We're back, Elliot bought himself a new game for his PS3 and we returned to find the postie had been with more birthday cards and another £40 for him :eek:

    He's now retreated to his hovel to play the new game.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I don't need to because I can handle him being there - deleting and blocking him would send him the wrong message. I've done that before when I've been angry and hurt. I'm not angry and hurt this time, I'm just moving on. So I don't want to be childish and play silly games.

    OK then, just promise me not to reply straight away, and maybe not every time he messages you ;):D

    That was my thinking too.

    And it's not exactly that I care what he thinks - it's more that I need to show myself that I'm not bothered. I think once I've proved that to myself, I will feel more ready to delete him.

    Today I wouldn't have even considered speaking to him if he hadn't spoken first. I only replied out of politeness, because I don't want to lower myself to his immature level. So really, it's only on a technicality that I've lost my hard-won 4 DFDs!

    Right, I've just booked a lovely Elemis spa treatment for Center Parcs next weekend just before my twilight spa session :T
    Can't wait.

    :o Thanks Maz, not sure about stylish but I do like my scarves, I've got loads. My fave of the ones I got last weekend was a cream one with little green apples on it! :D

    Mind you, someone told me one I had on the other day made me look a bit like an air hostess... :rotfl:

    Don't worry I'm not allowed out of the house till I've been inspected and passed as fit for human consumption....:rotfl:
