Thanks everyone for the advice. I just wish she got it and I didn't have to tell her. I've decided I'll make my last excuse for July and if she calls again after that I'll just tell her plainly what I think. I mean, I used to cherish my memories with her, but now she's spoilt them all I've tried to talked to her about our present lives but she just ignores the topic, so I won't be trying that again! It's four years I've been taking this and I'm honestly fed up!

I have other friends from school - my two best friends in fact. And we lead sort of separate lives now but we're still friends without having to think of what we did and what happened when... There's the odd moment when you'll get reminded of some anecdote or other, and you'll laugh at it. But that's it. Then you go on to talk about something else.

So if in July she doesn't take the hint I'll definitely be very cruel to be kind and to avoit madness myself!
