Or you could make him something, shows you care but it's not particularly materialistic
on the materialistic side of things, i've been feeling a bit poo the past few days and my throat is swollen up , and my nose is blocked and I keep sneezing and have a headache and the list goes on but I digress basically my OH works in a YMCA charity shop and they got an influx of cuddly toys, he was working on tagging them for sale and came across a dumbo toy genuine disney with tags still attached and he asked his boss if he could buy it and she let him have it for £1,49 so when he came to see me this evening he came with food store bag and was like I got you a little get well soon gift and you'll love it .... and I do its great its soo cute and just the right size to use either as a pillow or to hug in bed :) I dont care its from a charity shop or possibly second hand its the thought that counts and for £1.49 cant go wrong really bless him .
this is the same as him http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/16-LENGTH-DUMB...m#ht_500wt_928

Got home today from spending the weekend with the boy. Had a really good time until he brings up how hard it's going to be doing long distance last night in bed. Lots of tears ensue from me :frown: It made me really scared about losing him and I generally thought he was going to end it there. Gladly he didn't and he said he wants to try his hardest to make it work. We haven't been together long but I feel so so strongly for him and don't want to cock this up. How do all you long distancers (amy and flo are the only 2 I can think of atm) manage it? I know I did it before for 2 years but I've completely forgotten how to cope!
Jodie I did it for around a year with John, I don't know how we did it really we phoned and texted a lot every day so just kept in contact constantly.
Thanks Sophie I think that's what we'll do. Our main problem is me though, I have such a hard time conveying my emotions and I find it very hard to tell people how I feel. Even thinking about it now i'm welling up! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! /rage
*hugs* How far apart will you be?Quote:

I always miss him when I go but like, by the time it gets to the weekend I'll feel better, and then the next week flies by :)
EDIT: Also, stupidly, it'll be cheaper for me to go see him than ever before. Just had a quick look on the National Rail website and depending on which train I get, I can get a single for £4 :eek: :D
I'm so jealous. The cheapest tickets I've amanged to find at about £40 =[Quote:

Aww, all these LDRs. I hope they work out. I had plenty of Uni friends who managed it.
My ex going off to live in a remote Scottish town 60 miles from my Glasgow home was a large part of what broke us up :( Or rather, his attitude to it! Whilst a hugely caring and devoted fellow who gave me any hour of the day and night, we'd been together 1 1/2 years and still when anybody even mentioned 'living together' within earshot, he'd turn beetroot and start frowning grumpily about how that sort of thing broke people up and it was too much and you had to be together at least 10 years before you thought about that sort of commitment. Convincing him that not everybody was as self-reliant and capable as him, without a partner to support them nearby, was just too difficult, and so the moving away formed a natural pre-agreed split.
Ironically, he appears to have learned his lesson, and after being with his new lady for three months, asked her to move with him to a new job in Switzerland! He's so lovely :D I told him I was glad to see he'd had the courage to not repeat the mistake!
My boyfriend said to me, "Well it's a good thing you got your piercing after we established our relationship because facial piercings are a deal breaker for me."
Jerk. We've been together for 3 years.
I second Flo on the texting part. Me and my girlfwend live in different countries, it takes 1h40m on a plane to see each other. We meet once a month and then stay for a week or so. Knowing what the other person is up to really helps.
Right now we haven't seen eachother for almost two months because of school/work, but I'm going to see her the day after tomorrow. Really excited about it.:)
