    oh bum, just remembered I haven't sewn name tags into school sweatshirts yet, must do that today and get it over with.
    it's blowing a gale here and drizzly, not sure what to do today but must be cheap (preferably free). might go watch some kite surfing or something.

    whoops, still haven't touched those name tags:o! Had to do shopping type stuff with DS (unsuccessfully) then went to park and ran a bit - he can out run me now how embarrassing:o... but I did beat him up on stair run then again he was probably taking it easy cos he didn't expect me to finish:rolleyes::rotfl::rotfl:... he might be good to train (interval type stuff) with though as he's got a ridiculous amount of energy and it was a laugh, probably went faster than I would have done on my own.

    Have wine now so not sure that a needle and name tags would be a good move...

    are you saying he's vain Z? still worrying about friend but can't think of much I can do really except listen and allow her somewhere to vent - I have been playing devils advocate and trying to second guess his reasons for his actions but if he refuses to talk there's not much anyone else can do.... TBH it does sound like he's having an affair.... love em both...

    He probably thinks this post is about him...

    There is nothing you can do. It just has to play itself out and you get to pick up the pieces.

    Lucky you.
