Crap at relationships

If he mentioned it un-prompted you may have

He mentioned something about going out on dates... and then started playing with my wrist.  He was supposed to be treating my neck.

I'm no expert on proper flirting, but that sounds flirtatious to me.  It also isn't particularly professional though.

But he also knows that I will be moving away soon so won't be seeing him professionally for much longer.

The bit about dates was not said in relation to me btw.

To be honest, I don't think there is anything there, but I'm allowed to dream aren't I?  Until Lee and I get our business up and running, I haven't got much else, lol.

Morning all... thought I show my face.

It's Friiiday....   and it's payday!!!   *shimmies*

I'm booking a haircut for next week.  And buying a new camera tomorrow... lalala

And I've lost 6lb since 6th June.    I appreciate some of that will be reducing water retention from drinking more etc, but it's nevertheless welcome.  My first week at the gym wasn't too bad either.  Nice mix of a bit of spinning and lots of pilates and yoga.  Back getting better too.

*pads off to read back*

Dreaming's allowed and turning it into reality is too

Brilliant going Nam

*Realises that she actually hasn't had anything to drink yet today*

Not yet BDB.  Need to sort myself out emotionally first.  I'm far too unstable.  Having my own place has given me space and time to think, and allowed it all to come out at last.  Hopefully that's the first step to getting over it.

Is this the Channel crossing Cas?!   Gosh, that's come round quickly!  Very best of luck for it  I hope the weather behaves enough to let you all do it safely.  

Flirty chiro sounds interesting.  Not very professional as BDB says, but then if he knows you're moving away...?  I think these situations could be hazardous, but if it was me, and my chiro or whatever was obviously interested, and I was too, then I don't see any problem so long as you end the professional relationship.  Though of course that'd be a total pisser if they were really good at their job!!!  Anyway, i know i'm getting ahead of myself, and based on your last post Cas, you mightnot want it anyway.  Bit of flirting is nice though, esp. if it gives you a wee boost which is always nice

Talking about hot chiro-type men, there is a VERY attractive rugby-player-esque-bodied man doing the same massage course as me, but a few months ahead (we all have classes the same weekend, but in different rooms).  I saw him during the tea-break and had to purposefully try not to stare   Shame I can't get my hands on him for a practice (massage I mean, honest ), hehehe.  God i'll have to stop being this pervy when I qualify 

p.s. well done Nam, great work!

Not the channel crossing Lee.  That's in about a month.  This one is harder as I will be doing similar mileage but in a shorter period of time.  It's my A race for this season and is the start of my build up for the Channel solo next year.  I booked the channel relay as a training session as I want more experience of swimming in the dark and alongside a boat, which is very different to sighting on buoys.

Same distance but less time sounds even worse, eek!!!  You are a swimming machine, that's for sure  Hats off to anyone attempting to swim the channel, esp. on their own.  Some feat that

Yeah, well, I haven't done it yet.  Still a long time to go and a lot of training to put in.

Aye but you're aiming for it which is cool.  Barring injury or whatever, no reason you won't get there based on current training and what not

I agree, if things continue as they are.  However I have the small issue of finding a job, (which will leave me less time), finding a house (which is unlikely to be near the sea) and finding the money (which depends on how long it takes to sort out the joint finances).

But I am trying not to think about that too much as when I do it all becomes too overbearing.  Had a really bad week emotionally and a major wibble moment in the pub with Bear.  Bless him, he is being wonderful but I don't think he realised how close I was to losing it and creating a scene.  And I'm not just talking about crying a little.  I really don't know what I would do without him at the moment.  Friends are fantastic and I have some really good ones at the moment.

You're right - don't try to think of everything at once because it will be too overwhelming, and I think anyone would find it impossible to cope with that kind of pressure.  One thing at a time.  I'm glad Bear is around to help you, and you know we're all here if you want to talk or yell or cry or just vent.  Don't ever feel it is an imposition; that's what friends are for Hugs to you anyway xxx

Been for a swim and I feel so much more positive now.  It was a gentle, social swim rather than a proper training session.  My mood and my confidence have both been given a huge lift.

This makes me happy Caz! Hope you are ok!

Is it wrong to be grinning after an amazing kiss?

 No, who have you been kissing?! 

Ah good stuff Cas, glad to hear it  i'm off to the gym now for my own endorphin fix.  Later peeps

Mima - i want to know who you've been kissing too (until then i'm off to read back)
