You might not believe me but I used to have a bottom drawer, in 1977, but my God, 7 years! I'll be past it by then:rotfl:
A woman is never too old to loop the loop...........with the right man.....................I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

Caroleann, be pleasant, friendly, warm and courteous towards his daughter. Accept any rebuffs with good grace and don't try to win her over - she'll see straight through it.0

Yes, 'Win over' is the wrong term, but you know what I mean, its darn near impossible to do any of the things youv'e suggested as she wont even agree to meet me, i dont and wont, want to force the issue, I feel like the wicked step mother at the moment.:eek:
Aw, don't feel like that. She will view you as her dad's girlfriend, she's had a rocky ride from both her parents in the last few years and is bound to be prickly. Put yourself in her shoes. She'll change her attitude if she feels it's right to do so, but may need a fair amount of time. We can't change other people's behaviour but we can change ours, and sometimes - just sometimes - that results in them changing theirs.
It's early days yet, don't worry about it, and give things time. Good heavens woman.............it's not something important like Sunderland losing 5-0.....................I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)
