    OMFG quote from their website:

    Gentlemen are required to wear closed collar, jacket and tie. Ladies are required to dress with similar formality. Jacket (but not tie) may be removed:

    • in the Study, Billiards and Card Rooms
    • during breakfast in the Coffee Room
    • in the Garden
    Recognised national and religious dress and service dress uniform may be worn at any time.

    And neither do you, silly! :)

    Hmmm....my 'non' boyfriend. :o

    Well, on Saturday I went to watch him play hockey, then he invited me for a drink with him and the team, then invited me to his house for dinner. He mentioned that his ex would be dropping the kids off so I would 'get to meet her too' (which in the end I didn't because she rang and asked him to collect them - not because I was there I hasten to add - but I was kind of pleased that it was okay for me to meet his mates and his ex wife).

    Spent a lovely evening/night at his house, then had a lovely relaxed morning playing silly games and reading with his kids. Then we took them for a walk to the park, and his daughter insisted I push her on the swing, not him.

    So all went brilliantly, and he said he had had a lovely time, and he was really glad I'd gone - he joked about 'come and watch me play hockey' becoming a bit of a euphemism, but he was (for him) quite open and affectionate the whole time.

    Since then he seems to have gradually backed off though. He's not ignoring me exactly, but for example, he is online now, and hasn't talked to me. We haven't chatte properly for a few days, except one night when I initiated it. He could just be busy. But then why be online? Makes me very paranoid. :o

    *sigh* he needs someone to slap him around the head until he recognises a great thing when he sees it.

    Okay so I have grey jacket with pink lining and black trousers and if I put a black shirt underneath that would work...then I can add my pink hairband to funk it up in my usual style :D

    Watching the lastest Nip/Tuck, I'd forgotten how sexy Julian McMahon was, yummy.

    Hi Beanie. How are you lovely lady?
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
