    I've just listed my car on Ebay :eek: scary.

    - and I have a slight problem...
    I'm double booked tonight - thoughts please ...

    1. black tie dinner - OH has obliged us to this one.
    2. good friend's (she got me through my PhD) milestone birthday party.

    I'm thinking of going to black tie first and then on to friend's by 9:30. Seems rude to both though :confused:

    That's exactly what I would suggest! Leave the best and more important party 'til last!

    Im sorry AB but i think that is slightly off topic - we were discussing fairy power spray:rotfl: mind you if were lucky it might get closed as a result who knows:T

    Anyway I would have to go to friends birthday party - it will be a lot more fun and lets face it you will be considered elusive and interesting by not attending the black tie do. Having said that going to both is probably the sensible decision:D

    Edit: Do you have wine at home or will you need to get a £20 note changed?

    No need to change the £20, we could get 3 for £10, 3 red and 3 white :D

    OK, can someone help me with this.

    I'm finishing off an essay so am having to drink tea, no wine for me at the moment. Now, should I drink the tea with my right or left hand? I'm right-handed but feel that I may be able to access it more easily with my left hand as there is no mouse in the way. :confused:

    What would you do? I am worried that I won't be able to continue getting good marks if I don't make the right choice. :confused:
