Don't buy the ring until after she says yes. Land her to the jewellers and tell her you've got £X to spend. If she picks one that is anything up to 80% of £x you will have a happy life. If she wants something at 90 - 110% of £x be cautious, she may not be the woman for you. If she wants something more than 120% of £X walk away (and I'm not talking about the shop) 

However if she wants something much more than £x and is prepared to contribute like Beyonce "I bought it" etc then let her tear away!

I thought Olly's was an all time classic post..

Ok thanks for suggestions

I was hoping to keep the front seat for the wife

Any recommendations out there on best non-suv car with three child seats capability?

I've never done relationship advice but I need a 5 min break from report writing...so without wanting to pry can you tell us much else about the relationship that would help us figure out your next steps? 

For instance was there much of an age difference, was she fond of the finer things in life? Did you share common interests? Had she any old flames that might have only sparked up again once you were seen out and about together? Was travel an issue? Where are you both on the scale of attractiveness out of ten etc?

For a 3 month old relationship my guess is you might want to reflect on your interactions 3 weeks before the split as it probably took her a fortnight to decide to make the break.

Anything at all to put flesh on the bones of this and then we all might have a clear opinion. Working out in your head why it happened will be your first step on the road to recovery imo.

Ao, she said there was nobody else so I dont think that was a thing. She said she fancied me a lot and I fancied ehr. She thought I was a great person, easy to get on with and funny and I thought the same of her. She said we fell into comfort far too quick and dint do much other than sit in and watch tele. She is right on that one. She lives in the same town as me but is from the other side. Religion didnt matter though. Her ex was catholic and so are her 3 kids. That was another thing, she said she was selfosh, with ehr kids and job she just wanted time to her

I don't want to appear mean but this really sounds like a bullet dodged. She wanted more of the old social scene than a steady partner. If she is near 40 with 3 kids she probably wants a bit more of the way she imagines herself when she was in her late 20's - and she'll do that by keeping her options wide open.

4 or 5 cups for me in a day. All made in the cup nowadays except when visitors. Kids are well on board with the ceremony of it. Milk and sugar to taste. Kettle only way to go and the first part of the ceremony. Couldn't have one of those hot water taps about the place. Lockdown and wfh saw the introduction of the 400 bags sack instead of the 80's. A great job!

Down 1960; first team to take Sam across the border.

Hopefully Down will also be the first team to take it once there is no border..

When you ask to buy 2 wasps at the pet shop and they say they don't sell wasps and you go "well there's 2 in your window"

My post.

I like an oul rating, whoever pens it, and everybody knows they are subjective, so one man's 6 is another man's 7.

My rating for this post is 4.

My two 5cents on the above are 1) it must be hard being a derry fan and 2) should Down's record not put them on par with Meath
