    No Ellie.....sometimes mine are there waiting for me when I get home. The longest I've had yo wait is about an hour but some folk on here have waited a lot longer.

    Just keep checking

    Ive set up my RSH team for the footy thing but when I try and join the Elite mini league, it says the name/password is wrong :( Ive copied as posted by 3010 so I don't know what the problem is.

    Anyone else had problems? Or know what I'm doing wrong? :o

    Anxiously awaiting a text from a fella.

    Why is it he can suggest you go out last minute but then when you try and set something up a few days in advance (to give you time to choose clothes/tart yourself up a bit/be available) you get silence?

    This is precisely the kind of annoyance I've been trying to avoid by playing it cool for as long as I have *sigh* Men.

    Impulsiveness. Possible symptom of attention-deficit-disorder though I wouldn't go that far as, with most people, it's more likely just a personality trait than a medical disorder (and of course, as I'm not a doctor, I can't diagnose anything).

    It's his spontaneity - likes to do things 'off the cuff' - versus your planned approach. The two don't go well together in my more recent experience. I'm one that likes to plan everything in advance - don't cope well when people drop in unannounced and suddenly decide to change all my plans. Yet the other person, of spontaneous unplanned things, they're always like that and my planning things in advance just results in getting nowhere with them too!

    In my view, you're the better off though! Not least because the spontaneous person just runs out of food and then decides, on a whim, to go and get whatever they get - and inevitably pay way over the odds for everything. They're visiting the supermarket every other day as they don't plan anything and just get half of what they really need each time. Constant visits and petrol being used up each other day. Whereas I'm planned and save money (my petrol for trips also planned in depending on where else I'm already visiting anyway). To me, their approach is totally chaotic. Just as I can't deal with spontaneousness, at last minute (or sometimes no) notice - feels to me like I'm being pulled pillar to post constantly and just to act according to their whim and what they want to do - or at least it did before I moved away from them altogether! - neither can they cope with my planned, carefully organised approach that achieves everything properly and at the right time.

    I suppose it's 'horses for courses' sometimes though - whilst their spontaneity is likely to see them just getting up off a whim and going out to visit somewhere, just on the day, so it may be good weather and thus they go out. With me, though, it can take more time (because of all the time spent planning things out) for me to get round to there. By the time I do, having got the weather forecast in advance, it then turns out to be wrong and I'm left with a washout day anyway, whilst in the meantime, when it was good weather (but not forecast) I'd missed out. Sometimes it's best if you have ability to be spontaneous. The two approaches though don't seem to me to go well hand in hand:(.

    HTH to work out where your differences in approach are and helps you to work out how best to deal with them.:):) (Sorry if this isn't necessarily what you wanted to hear - you did ask the question:o:o.)

    Maybe, more logically, he's simply waiting for a day or so before he replies (probably on the day you want to do something:() to say 'yes'. Or maybe he hasn't switched on his phone yet and thus hasn't yet seen your message?

    That's a good way to deal with it - we sometimes don't think of obvious things like that last one.

    Folks I shouldn't really be here, I should be doing RL things:o:o:o, so I'll see you later!:)
