    Hi guys

    flis - that must be quite worrying, OH. As Miro says, probably best he gets professional help, but until then hopefully you can manage if it doesn't get too out of hand. I like reading too, altho nearly always non-fiction rather than fiction with me, for some reason. Hope you have fun at your sisters.

    Hi miro. Not much planned for the weekend. Am in and out of the kitchen at the mo' taking two batches of bread out of the oven. If I'm in tomorrow I may catch the last F1. I used to watch it regularly, but last two seasons less so.

    Weird weather here today, torrential rain earlier, now brilliant sunshine?! :confused:

    Still like F1, but not as good as mid 90's backwards.

    We had rain here too, not much, but it's been windy and dull, but sun is now poking through!

    I do keep encouraging him to get help, but he won't and I can't force him to go. I have found him out the details of gamblers anonymous etc, but he won't call them. All I can really do is damage limitation until he is ready to do something himself.

    When I watch telly, I always have a jigsaw puzzle to do, I can't just sit there as I am too fidgety, but I can do my puzzle and listen to the telly instead, which does at least mean I am sitting down and resting for a while. I am very bad at relaxing and reading is the only thing I do well at!

    Yeah, I guess you can't force him, other than give him cheapo dog food for dinner and tell him if he wants anything nicer, then he's gotta stop blowing the money.

    Blimey, sounds like you like to do more than one thing at a time, all the time!

    Yeah, I can't stop and relax, I think my brain works too quickly, I need to be busy and doing things all the time. The only time I sit still is when I am on computer or reading!! Otherwise I am busy busy busy all the time, although I never seem to get much stuff done!!

    That's why I like my job, because there is always stuff to do and I am active, couldn't go back to doing a job sitting behind a desk, would drive me crazy!

    I've had a weird 30 minutes :eek:

    As Sunday draws closer, I'm starting to feel worried again, like really worried.

    What if 'S' does make a move? How do I say no?

    What if she doesn't.......will I be unhappy? My feelings are all mixed up.

    What if she does, and I like her, but don't want to be like the rest? What if I like the attention and still want to prove to her, I care about her?

    What if I'm not good enough for her? What if her ex partners were better partners, as people, as friends, in the bedroom :confused:

    What if she takes me saying no to sex as rejection?

    Arrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh, so many Q's, most of which will never come up in reality.

    I'm so confused as to how I like her............I know I really like her, really care for her, but I am physically attracted and adore her.

    At 30, you'd think i'd not need to ask.........but because of past losses, I'm not sure what i'm doing :confused:

    Ahhhhhhhhhhh, a weak moment again, when things were going so well.......

    lazy day today.

    Hows everyone?

    Yeah same here, pretty much. My neighbour will be down any minute, their water's off (for building work) and they want to do some dishes and fill up water bottles! :D
