    Ono, do you have any other contact with her, other than through your mutual friend?

    Maybe you could keep in touch with her about the obscure science thing? Maybe send her occasional articles about it?
    Maybe meet up at symposiums about it?

    Fostering the shared interest might enable things to develop, even with a distance between you.

    A twenty-year gap isn't so weird, really, there are plenty of relationships with those kind of age-gaps, but it might be best to treat it as a nurturing a close friendship, because you wouldn't want to lose that!
    Using your shared interest is an excellent way of doing that!

    SI, I hope that you manage to get something sorted with the surgery.

    Ono, I think that once people are past their mid-20s age gaps start to mean a lot less as you're both adults. I'm sorry, I have pretty much no advice for how to deal with what you're going through but I can sympathise.

    I have been up and down the last few weeks on the medication, had a flu jab monday and it made me really bad that day, like as if I had too much to drink, and yesterday terrible sweats today not too bad just drained.


    Still haven't got that nightmare with benefits sorted yet.

    Ono don't be sad. You know a wonderful person who is in your life that's a cause to celebrate.

    Yey! You did it! You got there!

    When you're settled in, we want pics! :D

    But take it easy, and don't do too much at a time.
    As long as the kettle, mugs and teabags are unpacked, that's all that matters!

    WaS, well done and I hope you and WaSp love the new place.

    It seems there are a few of us moving at the moment. As much as I'm irritated by the number of boxes we've yet to unpack and the amount of cleaning which still needs to be done I adore our new home and hope the other movers are as happy with their new places as I am with ours.

    WaS,


    that is good news. I hope now the move is done you can start to relax a little.


    Finding homes for everything is nightmare. And if me and AM ever move then its going to be massive declutter. Not that I am not trying now to declutter :rotfl:


    Being buying these grey storage boxes from the £1 shop they are great for holding and hiding stuff :rotfl: still need more. Every time you open a cupboard its grey boxes.


    The thing is I can get organised but just can never stay like it.


    Yours

  • Thank you! I have a minute to breathe finally. WaSp and I now live in a tiny welsh village! I have been wanting to move out of the city for a long time because it was making my anxiety so much worse. I am in a valley now so surrounded by hills and everything is unbelievably quiet. Luckily the doctor and pharmacist are only 200 yards away, other than that we have a pub, a post office and a village store and that's it! I was so, so lucky to find a landlord in a place like this that would accept housing benefit, it is very unusual. I have never lived anywhere like this in my life but I do hope it means I can get out a bit more and go sit on a remote hill side. For now though unpacking is the priority!

    It is probably one of the hardest things I ever did and I experienced a lot of panic, psychosis and catatonia in the process. But we are here now and looking forward to the future!

    Blimey WaS! A Welsh village? That's a bit of a jump!

    I'm gob-smacked!

    My gob has never been so smacked!

    How on earth did you find somewhere so far away?
