There’s a place for FWB, and they’re very useful when you’re not ready for a full on relationship as long as you’re both on the same page.
Which reminds me, I need to report back to a friend who may have been an FWB except he is keen for an actual relationship and I’m not.

Just looking in to say hi. Nothing going on here at the mo. I will pop down to Devon soon for that coffee date and to stay with friends. The ex narc has been trying to get hold of me via text and ringing. I've had to ignore tho. Cx

Well done for ignoring. Worth actually blocking?
I’m still in touch with recent date and we’ve met up again, despite my accident the night before I saw him where I fell and smashed my lip, I looked a right treat!

Oh LOL Meg!
Nothing to reprot here either on the dag front, other than that life seems a tad overwhelming at the moment. Everything seems to be going wrong.
Got new chickens, now they are all ill.
Van broken down twoce in two weeks, expensive!
Two teeth broken off the last month: expensive, they need crowns but my kind dentist has patched them up, as I don't have the money.
Physically, I am not 100% either. Not sure why, but it doesn't help. After putting jup the new, expensive, fencing to keep the new chickens safe from dogs and foxes, I have had trouble with my left arm/shoulder. It is causing serious nerve pain, numbness and tingling in bed, so I can only sleep for a few hours before waking in agony. Lack of sleep definitely doesn't help!
Was supposed to go on a bike packing even in Dorset this weekend, but with the van out of action and possibly not repaired before Friday afternoon, when I want to leave, this was all on hold. But today, one of my clients has offered me their spare car on loan. I feel torn. On the one hand, I'd like a weekend away in the wilds of the Purbeck coast, on my bike. On the other hand, I have had rather too much on my plate lately, am not 100% and can do without spending money on fuel, food and a night's accomodation, as I cannot sleep in the toyota yaris I am borrowing.
Feeling indecisive isn't really me... One side of me says: stay at home, keep things simple, look after the ill chickens, chill, potter in your garden. This would avoid the stresses of getting everything ready running around like a loon and mean I can go and work for 5 hours earning much needed cash, in stead of driving to Dorset.
My other side says: get out there, it will take your mind of things, have fun, forget about financial, chicken and health worries... Then there is the matter of needing to get the bike ready... argh! Why can't life be simple???

I feel your pain, Hann. I have a frozen shoulder. 9 months into it, it is getting better. Took 3 months to get my MRI results back tho! I can only cycle for short distances without stopping to stretch the arm - about 3-4 miles. My dad lives 15 miles away, so I stop about 3 times. Gentle swimming is OK and I'm back running after a 9-month absence and enjoying my local Parkrun at Eastville Park.
My life will get a bit more simple soon. Work are letting me go down to 3 days a week for 3 months. This is to give me some time to support Dad after Mum passed away. I started a new job in Jan - it's been full-on and bad timing for being so busy. I've been working such long hours that I haven't been able to see Dad as often as we both would like. He is doing OK but does need some help and support with things in the short-term so it's a relief to be able to do that, although I will have to be very careful with money. My house-sitting ends in July and I also need to find somewhere to buy. At least I will have one day a week at Dad's and one day to hassle estate agents.

Oh, that sounds good RS! I do hope you find somewhere to buy soon.
I have decided not to go away this weekend. Allthough yesterday's love cliebts kindly offered me the use of their spare car. They also pointed me to a local small garage I ws unaware off, who just quoted me £200 for the repair of the van, rather than the £260-300 quoted by the other garage AND they can fit it in tomorrow between teaching yoga and gardening.
Not going away saves me money, and I am worried about the arm on the bike! I haven't cycled with it yet, so I rather fear something like RS is experiencing: having to stretch every half hour or so...
We must re-schedule your visit to me soon RS!
