  • Oh well here I am again on a Friday night feeling maudlin......

    ......I loved being part of things, part of life with lots of friends going out then after 11 years of OH not liking any friends lost cotanct with them, no social circle to speak of and here I am on my own again. Trying to think not forever, think positively and to share my life again with someone in future.

    With someone who loves me for who I am, every single part of me I am and don't let go (as the song goes)

    OH has not responded to any texts sent tonight, supposed to be on a work night out (?) or a missed call. Too busy eh??????

    Oh....FedUp... :(:(:(

    Don't sit about texting him. That's a mug's game (and I've played it before now). Do something good for yourself. Have a soak in something very fragrant, do your nails, put a face-mask on, read a book you've been saving.... whatever floats your boat.

    Or why not try to track down one old friend --- Friends Reunited? I tracked down my best friend from a long while ago, who knew how to contact a few more old friends, who knew a few more........ ?

    Hope things look a little brighter for you tomorrow

    Love
    MissH

    Feel like we can start to think about the hol now! don't need to leave til lunchtime so time to pack etc in the morning. Thanks for all the thoughts and vibes and prayers. xxx
