I understand what you mean about time alone with your friend, i too have a very special friend Pat....we met 26 years ago when we bought our first little house from them, and we all just got on so well, we have been friends ever since. Our husbands are good friends too.

We dont see each other as much as we used to, but when i do visit sometimes her daughter will stay in with us - this really annoys Pat... she wants our time alone so we can talk properly. She says that her daughter is never normally in the house... always busy out etc, then when she wants her gone she stays in to chat to me!!!!! I dont mind at all but it is nice to be on our own too.

Though we dont see each other as much, we are always at the end of the telephone, and are there for each other, it is so nice to have someone special to tell ALL to.
