    One thing, though, Tea, you may have to face the fact that, if he's one of those men who really can so not hack being on their own, that he may, after an indecently short interval, find someone else. That might partly be to get at you, too, as much as finding someone else to 'look after' him. How do feel about that? If you feel bad, remember the awful realisation of waking up in that bed in that state, ditto bathroom.

    Ahhh, good point! I don't know how they manage it, but men like this do seem to easily fall into new relationships. Just pity the poor woman who takes him on whilst he still holds a flame for you.

    Calley, have you seen the sleep technique that's doing the rounds on ye olde social media? I think it's breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for 7, breathe out for 8. Apparently this will help you fall asleep in minutes. Not tried it, but it might be worth a go? :)

    Walked into work this morning (easy 15 min walk but I'm usually running so late I drive! :o) so stopped for a take out coffee, it's 7:40am, I'm wearing officey clothes, got a laptop bag on one shoulder and the barista asks me what I've got planned for the day! Errr... off for a picnic in the park, obviously! :p

    So exciting about your holiday WaS! :j

    ETA: What's a TIA?! :o

    With TIAs, I always thought that unless tests were done while the TIA was in progress, nothing would show up.

    Unless tests have changed since I last looked.

    Sounds logical to me, but melly's don't sound that T - I think her mouth droop may have lasted a while (and even if it didn't, this new symptom does shout TIA to anyone, doesn't it :( )

    Birdie, a TIA is a Transient Ischaemic Attack, otherwise known as a mini-stroke. You have some temporary symptoms of a stroke, which resolve without leaving anything lasting.

    Here's some more info.....
