I have some news. Okay it might not come to anything but it's a start. When I saw him today we chatted and I asked if he ws going to be staying around after school tomorrow night. We have this sixth fom event that we have to stay for bu it doesnt start until 7. And he said he was and he suggested that perhaps we could go for a coffee, if there's time

Okay so it is just a coffee and it may not come to anything and it may not even happen, but its a step forward from before.
As long as the school doesnt bloody close due to snow. I think it will be the first time I have prayed for a school not to close.
