    Oh my god oh mygod oh my god oh my god!

    Im Sorry Im going to get in so much trouble for chatting, but you need to help me......

    I passed him in the corridor as he arrived for work (I was heading to the kitchen to make a cup of tea).......anyway, without missing a beat I broke into a big smile, said Hi and held the door open for him.

    Ive gone about my business in the office but have been aware that he has been watching me.

    He has sent me the following email.

    I have made a huge mistake! I’m sorry!

    Outwardly, I am calm and composed and 'smiling'. But on the inside Im in knots.

    :eek:

    Your plan has worked. He's seen you looking fab and confident and he regrets dumping you. Nows the time to keep strong. You don't want a scumbag like him, but it will hurt him more to want you and not be able to have you.
    Keep strong, keep smiling, DO NOT take him back. You can do it, we are all with you helping you

    Hi all

    I only joined this last week but already my home is looking better!

    I have a question though - I only got round to cleaning my kitchen windows a few days ago, but that is one of today's tasks - I don't think they need doing already! I know the idea is to keep on top of things, but surely people don't clean their windows every single week (unless they have messy kids/pets etc - I have neither). I don't want to cheat but don't see the point in doing jobs that don't need doing (when there are plenty to do!) - so can I substitute it for something else?

    If your windows dont need doing.......change the list to something else instead of windows to a job that you do need to do.....

    I think you should declutter your email. Add this reply to his

    Yes i agree i have also made a mistake and i too am sorry that i did not get rid of you ages ago. Stop harassing me via email or i will forward them on to personel!

    Please leave me alone and allow me to carry on doing the job i am paid to do as i do not have the time or the inclination to tolerate you anymore than i need to. I will be as civil as i have to be but that is where it ends.

    Kind Regards
