    I don't think it's sad at all - I said goodbye to OH before the first leg of my travel and cried and cried, then I cam eback for a few days, had a leaving party and got so drunk I cried saying goodbye to the dog, cried the next day at the airport saying goodbye to OH, was so happy when he came to visit me, cried again when I left for Namibia while he was still in Zim, then cried when he met me again at Heathrow 3 months later!

    So I don't think you're sad at all, but would I do that six months all over again? YES!

    You may be surprised how much you enjoy some time away by yourself :)

    Or else just make him go :D

    I was walking the Great Wall, beautiful but hard work.

    Oh bless, its lovely you feel like that. I have been with my OH for ten years almost and have always gone on my own holidays every year. He spent 7 weeks without me snowboarding last Christmas and I was quite happy on my own with just the dog for company.

    I ran up the great wall LOL - I think there's a video on FB of it somewhere, although I did collapse half way up LOL

    Oh and I'd also love to go snowboading for 7 weeks :D

    I'm glad it's not just me!

    Without wanting to pollute my thread with mushiness...I just can't function without him, you know when you refer to them as your OH...well mine really IS my other half, I miss him just when I go to work, there is no better place than being with him :o

    Anyone want a bucket?

    PS...he just emailed me to say he can get time off work!

    He's very cute, he'd spend all night cuddled up to you. I'm really naughty and let him sleep on the bed all night when the OH's away!

    Who is in bed with whose dog? :rotfl:

    Well I have full on green light! And I quote:

    I just saw the bay bit around dingle, a few photos of dolphins & stuff so if you wanna book on my card & we will go xx

    :T

    He hasn't yet managed to read my question of do we fly back on Tuesday or Wednesday though and actually reply! Have come across a slight hitch...I was planning on driving but I either then have to have a credit card or OH will have to book it and out us both on a named drivers which costs more, typical!

    Looks like I am going to Irelanddddddddddddd :j:beer::j
