    Its good news :j :D :j :D :j :D

    After a chaotic morning, which involved a sickie monster being dropped at mums, I made it into school and decided I needed to get it over and done with asap ... so as I walked past his departments office I saw he was in there on his own, so knocked on the door and went in, and we both looked really awkward for a minute, then I said that I couldn't stop but could I leave him my phone number if he'd like to go for a drink? and he said he would really like that :D:D:D So, amid much shaking, I wrote him my number, mumbled like a gibbering idiot for several minutes, then left :)

    No idea when he may call, guessing it won't be today, but ds is still being sick so won't be at school again tomorrow and she can't have ds so I will have to have the day off. A bit gutted, normally I'd love a day off, but right now I want to be at work :o

    One very happy Benbenandme tonight :D:D:D

    Yay - well done :).

    If he sees that you aren't there tomorrow, it might trigger him to call you.
