    All geared up for a night of passion, arranged to meet at a pub hotel where I could have got a last minute room if all going well, al going to plan.

    Her father who se met last week for the first time for 10 years caller her over for a chat, which put the brakes on our date plans. Git.......

    Going to meet up over the weekend instead though, we are still chatting away quite happily, so all so far is looking good.

    Three weeks of chatting an not meeting up is a little weird though!
    Don't worry it's not epicly sad until you've been stood up twice in a 24 hour period by two different women. DAMHIK.

    You go from major player to mr muscle guy fairly quickly is that happens.

    True. I've calculated how many days I've got left to official retirement (assuming my pension is worth anything or even exists by then ) and I have a big enough war chest to live on a tin of baked beans each day until then. Sorted.

    I can also build a mansion out of the tins if I buy them all in bulk now.

    Not really. Although its nice not to spend your hard-earned on mortgage and rent - also gives you more freedom and flexibilty in life e.g. you can always tell anyone at work to bugger orf without worrying about the roof over your head.

A larger warchest would be nice to have but it's growing so i can't complain too much. I don't believe owning a house would make me any happier tbh, my missus has several of them and they seem to cause her nothing but stress.

    I genuinely feel sorry for you.

    And the area stuff is very debatable

    I'm stuck in an airport lounge having bought plan A to a successful conclusion for another month. Plan B will get worked on for the next couple of weeks then i'll be back in contractor mode for a few more days.

    It's at least 4 and at my current rate of slacking it will be 6 by christmas. I'm starting to like this few well paid days here and there lifestyle, beats having ones nose to the grindstone 20 days a month.
