My ex is unreliable, as well as unstable and at times, deranged.

I know. I just need to balance being with her with my career. Of course she is the most important thing in my life, but I have to do what is best long term as well as short term.
Re the long term, this may mean working away at times.

By my career of course I mean my income & earning ability, but also a job that interests me & has the potential progression I want. This may include some international work.

Have you played around with iOS7 ? I think it's fantastic once you get used to the change in styling.
And I way prefer OSX to Windows.... I'd say 75% of that is down to the trackpad. Plus the iPad is, in my opinion, better than the rivals.

But saying that, I fancy a bit of a change and i'm due an upgrade. Plus you can now get 'refresh' contracts so I can take one up now and then replace my phone with the #6 comes out alongside the iWatch. Rumours are already coming in with the #6 and if they introduce the 4.5" screen, i'd switch back.
