    And another friend offered to come to mine tomorrow and cook (he was a chef for several years, so would be interesting to see what *he* makes out of my storecupboard offerings) for me in return for me listening to him try and work out why his latest relationship has not gone according to plan.

    See - life is good :)

    Will you hide the tin of sprouts just in case he decides to use them?

    I'm glad things are becoming more balanced, just take it steady and don't beat yourself up when you feel like s**t.
    But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?

    As he is on a DMP himself, I think I may just leave them in there as a symbolic gesture for the fact that things really are not so bad after all!!

    I had a lovely evening, thanks Lucielle - rather later home than I anticipated, and I drank some super strength coffee quite late in the evening.....so as you can imagine, not much in the way of quality sleep was achieved! Here's hoping today is not too frantic!!

    So, said newly heartbroken friend decided to do lunch instead, which was nice.....thereby allowing me to go to the gym after work which I thoroughly enjoyed.

    The sprouts, therefore, remain undiscovered in the back of the cupboard.

    All is well :rotfl:

    I had entertained a fantasy where you presented them to him as an emblem of what he needed to aspire to. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Perhaps he's not ready yet. Perhaps you are not ready yet? Just speculating from experience.

    You're comforted by the fact you haven't had to eat them yet?

    Yes, a constant reminder that life really isn't that bad, I just need to keep things in perspective!
