    Oops had to do a bit of digging to find my diary there - and it's not easy to dig with a touch screen phone and pointy sticky thing!

    Well all the money, exercise and productive stuff has gone out of the window for a few days, am off sick and not really feeling like doing much. Spent a lot more than I was expecting too this week but suppose it was necessary, illness is expensive!

    Had a funny couple of days with OH where he was being quite moody and said a few things that made me a bit paranoid. Was thinking either I'd done it again and met someone untrustworthy, or I was letting past experience dictate how I was feeling and not trusting him. Neither is good but my rational head says it's the latter which is definitely preferable. Anyway, we had a nice evening last night and I kept my neurotic self quiet and felt a bit better about things. Had a bit of a chat about my flat and I said I was going to look around for something cheaper over the next few months. He didn't say much but keeps being very affectionate whenever I talk about it :confused: And later... he gave me a set of keys to his house so I could let myself in when I come round, and go round anytime I want even if he's out. Which was nice :D:D


    sorry you are feeling poorly babes.....

    and good news about the keys to his flat....

    to be honest i guess you are best to start looking for maybe a somewhere of your own as if you wait for him to ask you to move into his, and then he doesn't then where will you be! nightmare!

    no word on the bedsits within the existing place? to save on costs?

    Re the paranoid side... i can so relate... i have turned into this slightly neurotic teenager when i don't get enough attention by text or if he cancels coming over (or if i tell him it's okay if he doesn't! so he doesn't then i am miffed! lol!!) It is good to take a step back from those kinda stupid thoughts and go with the flow some...

    (oh look!! another one of them pot/kettle/black moments!!!)
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)

    It's annoying this neurotic thing isn't it? Was just thinking he does the same, he thought I was ignoring him the other day cos his phone wasn't working... and I know I wasn't... so I guess it works both ways, takes a while to be sure of each other.

    I think I'm just going to renew the lease here for now, I have to give a month's notice to leave so can take a bit of time to look around at flats and see what happens. Might ask landlady about the cheaper ones here though yeah. Am actually feeling that this is a good place to be at, not rushing anything but serious enough for him to let me have keys and go round when I want. Think I might go and visit the cat for company later! :rotfl:

    You know, as I scanned up the page to go to User CP, I thought, I bet she thinks I've written that about her..... you see, I *understand* paranoia..... I may cause it from time to time, but I *understand* it :):):)

    Just because you're paranoid... :)

    Pepe, we knew that bit would be hard, but were under the impression it got a lot easier after that but there was a lot of rock jumping and trying not to get sucked into peat bogs. All good fun though :D

    Feeling a bit better today but it would be foolish to go back to work on a Friday wouldn't it? Especially when I've been left in a very comfy bed with a cat for company and a promise of takeaway brought home for tea :)
