i've not been online today on msn. been set to "busy" since i came home as my sister was here. he's online. i've just changed to "available" so we'll see if he's coming to talk. i've got bath and bed time routine still to do.

re job. i got offered before and couldn't commit to the 3 weeks training as exdp didn't want me working so i withrew my application. not sure how they'll look on that.pretty sure negatively.

he's assured he'll show. but will have to see.

OP posts:
elmoandella · 05/02/2009 20:35

no. he's just cancelled. still msn-ing. he's apologising profusely and trying to get me to arrange another time.he's taken monday off instead. but obviously i have my job interview then.

i may go in a huff shortly or just give up on him all together.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 05/02/2009 21:05

why has he cancelled(sorry told you i was horribly nosey)
thought he had tomorrow off?

OP posts:
elmoandella · 05/02/2009 21:09

he said because interest rates changed today he's got a mass of complaints he's had to deal with today and got a meeting at edinburgh from 11-4pm about it.

lou33 · 05/02/2009 21:11

seriously, i really can see me turning into kathy burke in that sketch

he is not a selfish person shall we say , but he wont give me a clue as to what this is all about, and he isnt back for a couple of weeks dammit

elmoandella · 05/02/2009 21:12
