Coffee date went well last night, am seeing him again for dinner on Monday
I'm not too sure but it was a nice evening, no awkward silences etc ... he seems a really nice guy, not sure we'll have loads on common but let's see ...

So he's called today to say he's booked a Harvester for us on Monday as he thought I'd like the salad bit as it doesn't have sugar and we need to walk along the beach to get there so will get me some steps in
Now I'm not massively keen on Harvester restaurants but that's a nice thoughtful guy

It really is! Good stuff and Harvester is good too (I like the salad but I suspect for different reasons lol)

Morning, today I am finally having my new shower and bath fitted - I have been without them for about 6 weeks I think, luckily Mum lives about 3 doors away so we have been going round there each day for showers
I'm not even thinking about the cost of it for now, it has to be done, and it will be sooo nice to be able to jump in the shower whenever I want again, or have a hot bath and put pj's on in the evening
I went out and did an early morning walk before the guy came, so I have done just over 8,000 steps so far today, I'll be spending the rest of the day indoors so will make sure I wander about lots to get more steps inI plan to do the end of month banking stuff today and get organised with paperwork etc again, that has really slipped over the last few months and with going back to work next week I need to be on top of it,

So my shower and bath was completed today, I've had a lovely hot bubble bath tonight and am now just relaxing on my bed. Suddenly everything feels like I'm getting ready to go back to work, where have the last 6 months gone?!
In other news ... h's been texting today and he was meant to have his kids from tomorrow lunchtime but now is having them from Sunday morning, so we are going out for drinks tomorrow night too. I am excited, we've chatted about how we've both been hurt before etc, so we know that neither of us is in any rush, he did say he feels nervous
So now I'm chilling on my bed, listening to some spa treatment music and painting my nailsMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

So we went for drinks, I probably drank too much (not that much at all but I don't drink so I don't need much), and we had a lovely evening, chatted non-stop and missed my bus home so ended up staying over at his. A fabulous night was had, possibly an hour or two's sleep was crammed in and I got a cab home this morning before 8. I am tired today but happy. It just feels so different to Mr S ... it feels open and honest for a start which is something he never did, it feels relaxed and it just felt right
I'm seeing him again on Monday for dinner
Today I am doing a virtual summer fair on facebook - I had to do a 20 minute live slot, I wasn't prepared at all and felt rough but did it
Happy days xxMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000
