            I already have phoned her (Part of her financial worries stem from the fact that she tends to oversleep, miss the bus to work, and end up having to get a taxi, so I've been using up the free minutes on my phone to wake her up in the mornings. She just said that she'd had a bad evening, and I didn't really feel like pushing for more info) I've also already told her that I really won't mind if there is a reason that she just can't come, so hopefully if she decides she can tell me, then she will :| -- Help me!

                    I have a friend who I've been chatting to online for some time now, who I invited to come visit for New Year's. At first she was (quite rightly) somewhat wary about travelling half way across the country [4 hour coach trip] to visit people she doesn't really know (she's talked to my housemate too), so suggested that I meet her first, (on her own turf, as it were) We did this last weekend, and everything went well (as far as I can tell), and I'm pretty certain now that she's convinced I'm not some kind of looney serial killer. Anyway, talking to her the other night, she suddenly started mentioning that she was a bit worried about her cash flow situation (especially around christmas), so probably wouldn't be able to make it for New Year's after all. (But did say she'd probably be able to visit at the end of january instead) I told her that I was perfectly happy to come get her (as the journey by car works out faster and cheaper than a coach journey) but that just made her quieter and more withdrawn, which worries me that there may be more to it, but I'm too paranoid now to want to approach the subject any more, out of fear of making things worse. I guess there could be some other reason for her to not be able to come, but it worries me that she feels unable to tell me if there is. She seemed fine this morning, but I didn't really dwell on the subject bar a "are you sure you're ok" query. So really, what I want to know, is do you think she was just having a bad day and didn't feel like talking, or should I be more worried (and am I better off just leaving the topic alone, or should I try and find out what is wrong?) Oh, and by the way, I just consider her a good friend, and (currently) have no intentions of taking it any further (if you get what I mean) - she's fully aware of this, and feels the same way (even though we're both sad, lonely and single) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

You know what women are like. Ask her if she has her rags on, and if she says no, then ask her what her problem is. Take this advice at your own peril.

A couple of reasons for this - I would like to finish a masters in comp science first, I would like to feel I have enough experience of different systems to contract from home and spends lots of time with the little one, and also so that we have at least started paying off a home and gathered some savings so that the financial strain won't force me back into an office.

Neither did I, and that three years was of the rolling contract type. :rolleyes: FWIW, if you wait until you have enough money you'll never do it, well, not unless fate takes a hand. Thank goodness for fate or I'd probably still be thinking of good reasons to put it off ;) Debbie
