    Sending you good wishes Pauline, and hoping that 2018 is a much better year for you. Take care of yourself XXX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    I seem to spend my time saying thank you to all my friends here.

    Been spending my time reading which I love to do. I have seen him twice. Once at the hospital and once here. Nothing more to say really. I asked him to come back today which seemed a good idea but I regretted it as soon as I sent the test.

    Got plenty of food in. I will be here.

    There's no harm in asking Pauline. You want to know what the situation is as it affects you very deeply. I hope you get some clarification from him as you are a bit in limbo at the moment.

    What are your plans for Christmas day? Do you have a friend or relative you can spend it with?

    Wishing you well xx.

    Sending a Christmas hug :)

    I'm guessing the regret over sending the text was in case either he doesn't come or his visit is a difficult experience? If you haven't heard back yet and are still worried, you could still text again and say 'maybe after Christmas would be better'? Only you know what's best here though.

    I'm interested to see what you're reading too! I know I have a vintage girls' story coming to me for Christmas - I love old fashioned school stories and similar. This is one of the Abbey Girl books. Other than that I'm re-reading the Flylady novel 'Hidden Treasure' and have just finished a PG Wodehouse.

    I'd agree with that, Pauline. I was in a similar situation once and the uncertainty was the worst part. I think you're doing really well in how you're handling this bolt from the blue. One day at a time until things become clearer.
    Another one who loves to read here. Anything and everything! Always have my nose in a book - probably why I never get anything done.
    Hope you have a positive day.
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
