    Well I have have pretty much said this on the (lovely) Messies thread but I cancelled the date with the half decent guy.

    I could feel myself liking him too much, he had been lovely to chat to, very down to earth and friendly with no uncomfortable undertones you so often get with on line dating. Any how I decided this morning that he was way of out my league. And now I am really depressed about it. I am an idiot in so many ways! And I am useless with men. utterly !!!!ing useless.

    I just could not cope with the idea of meeting a man who might want to date me. I am so nervous and anxious. I could cry.

    any how I know in the grand scheme of things it is not important blah blah blah but I think this just shows me in black and white how my complete lack of confidence is holding me back all over the place.

    I really do need to do something about this.

    thank you for the good wishes re my Mum. SO many things to think about.

    No kicking, kicking does not help with confidence boosting!

    Go and cuddle puppies instead. That helps most things

    Very quick update,

    1. bloke I cancelled on has made a new date :)

    2. Mum's test went ok, but it has been hard to look after her

    3. This experience has made me more determinded to to a flat/house. half savings half loan.

    4. Also have another date next Sunday. very sexy man hopefully :)

    5. have got 2000 pounds in the savings, will have 3000 at the end of the month. over spent on the CC so for May will have to implement a proper budget.

    6. although in general my skin is better I have a spot on my nose which is seriously getting me down.

    am meeting two friends who are running the marathon today!

    so excited to see them!

    see you later

    xxxxx
