    Butti, could you just look for my brain too while you're at it? It's been missing for quite some time. I gave up looking. It's rather small and a bit squidgy but did, at one time, hold a lot of useful information and function reasonably well. It's probably a bit rusty or fluffly now, depending on where it is hiding. :o

    Had to call HMRC today as my tax code is wrong. Them: "why do you think your tax code is wrong?" Me: "It says I'm currently between jobs." Them: "We have a copy of your P45, don't you have one?"

    Uhm!!!! (For the record I have two jobs. And the same letter increased my tax allowance for professional subscriptions and job expenses!)

    HMRC can't find thier collective brain either (if they ever had one).

    My life
    LOL...LOL...LOL
    Exam went ok. I forgot my house had three floors ...but once I'd remembered that I was ok!
    ..............and then we went to the pub LOL

    so, tell me what you think of this

    The pub landlord wants to go out on a Sunday night drinking session with me
    The pub landlord is going out with a teacher...one I cruelly called Lola last week
    Do these two sentences conflict with one another?
    My frind on the pub quiz team thinks the landlord is too nice!!
    Some people must have simple lives!!!

    So does he see you as his 'drinking pal' rather than something romantic?

    and is there a potential of usurping Lola or does he intend a parallel shenanigans?

    Mainly depends what you are happy with but a port and lemon on the Sabbath may be opportune to find out his intentions ;) [As it is a school night presumably Lola will be early to bed with cocoa and teddy]

    Thanks NL. Safe to say I have no idea! He could see me as a drinking buddy and he reckons 'we should go out drinking. I think you'd be quite a laugh' but at any given opportunity he's stroking my back or putting his arm round me.

    Drinking and subtlety as a combination has eluded me so far in life. Infact I don't do subtlety well stone cold sober.

    suddenly he almost sounds sleazy ! If hes doing this to you while seeing Lola, Would he do the same to someone else while seeing you ? Take care ... Or just treat him the same way ! Sauce for goose etc :)
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:
