    Did you not find out if they were any good at stripping first?

    Wasn't an option! She was too busy to do something so thought I might do it instead, it would have taken a few hours work so no was my answer.

    Well no reason to feel bad then, if she's too busy to do it, she can have no complaint that you're too busy likewise to do it.

    Busy week with Christmas shopping?

    I suppose but why does she assume I would have time? she knows I'm decorating, working and still trying to maintain my sanity;)

    Me? shopping? no, just work and various DS activities, nothing interesting.

    She probably assumes you'll make the time. Most likely because you feel bad saying no to people who make unreasonable demands....

    You have a sanity? They're quite rare you know...

    You should be getting gossip and making stuff up... :naughty:

    Well got an apologetic email from pal so she's forgiven, that's twice this week I've said no to things I would normally just have gone along with so quite proud of myself :)

    Today was a short day at work, one of those supermarket meals for two with Ds followed by more stripping, DS told me I needed to sit down and rest though so going to catch up with my book and a nice glass of red :D

    Have a lovely weekend everyone.
