    So the answer to my text was yes :D:D and maybe a bit more ;);) :rotfl:

    Fab news about the CSA, although I know it's a long way off what he owes but at least it's something.

    Thankyou Tigz, FF and Kittikins :) Sorry for not replying to your text last night Tigz, I would have done but was a bit pre-occupied ;) :rotfl:
    The csa money is very welcome, its about a quarter of what he owes but I had pretty much written off ever seeing any of it, especially before August, so to be getting a chunk of it is very good news indeed :D I probably won't receive it for a couple of weeks due to the bank holidays, but at least I know its on the way at last :j

    Ds is home from mums, about to have lunch then he's off to holiday club for the afternoon, I think I might pop to the shops and get some new t-shirts for summer and maybe some bits and pieces for the street party. This Easter holidays has, all round, been bloody marvellous :D

    Thankyou FC, not sure whether I will see him again, well I think I will at some point, but its not going to be a regualr thing ;) I don't care though, tbh I think its what I needed and I need to get out there a bit more and meet others, it was fun :D

    Back from shopping, I wanted to get some new summer clothes, tees etc. Couldn't find anything I liked today so saved my pennies and will try again another day :) I did get some bunting and bits for the wedding party; I thought the likes of poundland would be heaving with stuff for it but there was hardly anything in there. I also picked up a pair of cheapy sunglasses as mine broke yesterday.

    I may have a go at sorting the banking for an hour or so now before ds comes back.

    So, another day done, and 24 hrs later things have moved on slightly again ... lots more emils / texts today and it looks like I could potentially be seeing crouchy some more soon ;) So ... need some advice from you guys, seeing as you kinda know me pretty well now :D

    I like him, I dont know if I want a proper relationship but I do know I want to see him again. I think he does like me but he's still confused re. his girlfriend ... so advice please, hypothetically, especially from any guys reading, what do I do to make him want to see me again and how do I persuade him to stay this time?? :D
