    Lol Buffy, he's already seen my FB status, he's one of my friends on there (green t-shirt, initials KG, if anyone wants a nosey!).

    We just had a very funny chat on the phone - quite an achievement with no voice. We just whispered to each other! It was very sweet, and he seems great.

    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.

    Is that the Leeds xmas market? I've been meaning to go since it opened this year, it was fab last year. Just beware of the hot chocolate, I ordered an amaretto one thinking it would be flavouring, like in coffee shops, but he put two shots of the real stuff in! Had to balance it on the car floor till I could get home and drink it.

    lol - ames, a couple of years ago I bought a few Bailey's hot chocolate drinks on my switch card, had an enjoyable night out and when I got the bank statement just after Christmas was appalled that I'd spent £51 on the blimming drinks. My brother told me I'd lined them up on the table and when they were cool enough to drink I'd down them in one! Thankfully wasn't driving else my car would have been left behind St George's Crypt in my parking spot overnight!

    Lou - (((hug))) it's so hard when someone sounds off to you and brings you down and almost impossible to back away from the role of supportive listener BUT !!!!!! is he doing phoning you on a Saturday night to 8itch about it? that's out of order and you need to tell him. As well as contacting BT to block his number and involving the police if he continues! OR you could do what I did a few years ago and just change ALL your numbers and don't let him have the new number ;)

    He IS rather cute isn't he! :D

    Maybe being a little bit hung up on Mr Sunday will help me not get too involved too quickly. If we even get that far!
