Write them a cheque if they won't give you bank details, tell them they have a month to cash it or you'll donate the money to a suitably ironic charity - maybe something to do with alcohol recovery.

Send it back in bags of 1p pieces.

This is great.

I know he's your da, but you should probably listen to family advice. Him and his missus being there is just going to be drama. I don't think you are being petty or cruel in this situation.

My dad used to pull the same manipulative gooseberry fool day in day out. He'd be dying to give you money for something just so he could claim you only had it because of him. Like when he lent me the remaining £800 out of 6 grand I needed to buy my first car.

"I bought Ad7 his first car!"

No you didn't, you lent me 800 pounds which I paid you back over 2 months.

Turns out the Beatles were right, ay.

Come together, right now?

Lucy is back in the sky showing off her diamonds?

There’s this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants
Because of some sort of shortage with grain in Hertfordshire?

another perhaps surprising development on my end

pretty sure I’m breaking up with my gf

I think the potential marriage stuff made me really sit back and think about things so I ran it by her and she did the same

conclusion we appear to have come to together is that we both love each other but maybe not the best match for a full life commitment

she has problems from an ex husband who turned abusive after they married etc and she is still full of regrets about it and worries etc and I can understand that

I’m basically retarded and with my various depressive illnesses I’m a lot to put up with

but the time on ice has kind of given us both pause for thought in so far as whilst we still care for one another if we have to think so hard about stuff like this then maybe that’s an answer in itself

she’s been very upset about the whole thing and I think I am as well but I’m not really displaying anything - not through suppression just a bit dead inside I think

as of this moment I think we could be classified as separated, I said I don’t want to share a bed or anything with her atm (not in a mean way, we aren’t fighting just talking it all out) and I’m gonna look for a new place this weekend, but it’s very expensive in Cheshire so we are both prepared to live together in the interim

next week we have a weekend away with each other that was booked to celebrate my birthday (lol) and we haven’t quite decided how we are gonna run that one out

I’m obviously very sad about the whole thing but I’m not really sure how to process it atm - we are friendly and honest and talking to each other and plan to remain friends so I suppose you’d call it an amicable separation rather than splitting up? Dunno

things could change going forward but I doubt it very much, I’m a little cold on the prospect, although no harsh or cruel words have been said on either side

I’ll be very upset about not being involved with the little one anymore though and gonna make sure that all three of us sit down and work through it so she knows the score and knows I’m always there for her

inb4 potatoes, fortunately unrelated

also a little concerned that I left my whole life when I moved in and I’ll be starting again from scratch - I don’t even have furniture - everything I bought I fully plan to leave at the house with her

all of our friends made over the last few years are mutual and if I were them I’d choose her over me, so we’ll see how that develops over the next few months

Unfortunate that it hasn't worked out, but at least you are both honest about that fact. What were you planning to do on that weekend away? Would it still work if you were going just as friends?

Should have just checked the strawberry floating potatoes, dude.

You say we're just friends
But friends don't know the way you taste

Ah that's gooseberry fool to hear, hope it works out for you. From proposal to that in such a short space of time is rough.

Fuuuuck

That's gooseberry fool falsey. Hope you're holding up ok considering.

That's crap falsely, I'm sorry things are like this. Communication is good though, so if there is a chance you guys are just worrying over such a big change (which is natural) then at least you've got a chance to see if perhaps it's just massive nerves.

First off, do you know the way I taste?

Second off, thanks for reminding me of that song.
