    My lovely Bournemouth have won tonight, a happy ending to what has been a pretty poor day. I have that horrible unsettled feeling in my tummy that you get when you've had a row. I've never been one for arguing, it just isn't me. Off to bed in a minute and hopefully will fall asleep quickly, I've got a long day tomorrow at work.

    its tough to stay friends after a break up, however amicable. Bottom line is you didn't want to live with him and perhaps its better to move on. Its hard but maybe for the best, perhaps those things needed to be said?
    Chin up and keep busy!

    Morning all, well I went and saw Mr S for a chat last night to clear the air so we could both move on ... and have just come home :o;)
    We actually talked and talked a lot which was quite painful and awkward at times, but things needed sorting and we then had a fab night together ;) Cooked breakfast together this morning and then I've come home now and feel a lot better. We'll see how things go from here, but whatever happens from now on at least I had the chance to clear the air for things I said that I shouldn't have said.

    The plan for the rest of the weekend are housework, washing / ironing, ds has exams starting Monday so some revision to do there.

    I have ordered a new phone as my contract has run out now, it should have been delivered today, the yodel tracking site says it has been but surprise surprise its not here. I guess that means it will come on monday but I will be at work, I can't rearrange delivery as their system thinks its been delivered :cool:

    Turns out my new phone was delivered to my neighbour instead - anyway I'm having too much fun trying to set it all up and transfer music etc, I need to do 45 minutes of housework and then I can sit down and do some more while the footie scores come in :)
