My friend and I are away from home for a few days visiting my friends new niece.

Last night my friend got a phone call from her DH, he is at home with their Dd. He informed her that another female friend of hers,lets call her X, rang him last night. He does not know X very well but she asked him if he would be able to give her a lift that evening, if he was visiting his mother, because she would like to visit her aunt , who lives near his mother. ( the aunt and mother know each other.)

X has a car but it is in the garage.

My friend knows that X's husband is working away at the moment. My friends Dh explained he was not visiting his mother and so could not offer her a lift.

He rang his mother to ask if she had told X's aunt to approach him re. the lift, but she knew nothing about it. His mother has never met X either.

My friend is quite upset about this approach to her husband. X has never asked for lifts before. Is she bu to feel a bit suspicious about this woman's behaviour?

hahaha er I visit my aunt!!! My mother is no longer, my aunt is the next best thing asking for a lift is not asking for sex some people sound very bitter to me.

Actually AandK, saying "May I have a lift to my aunt's?" is tantamount to saying roger me sideways on the breakfast bar in some circles.

Fancy a lift to your Aunt's house?

Hullygully · 08/06/2011 16:08

No thank you, I have to iron my modesty garments this evening

AandK · 08/06/2011 16:09

ok glad I don't go round in those sort of circles Grin

You don't know what you're missing

DirkStrapping · 08/06/2011 16:11

Another time.

The aunt and the mother know each other ..mmmmm

I wonder what that means...mmmmm
and what was the car doing in the garage ?

There's more to this than meets the eye

ooohyouareawfulbutilikeyou · 08/06/2011 16:15

that X woman gets about a bit and no mistake

SuePurblybilt · 08/06/2011 16:16

I'm going to go out on a limb and say there is no aunt. It's a code. Does X have pampas grass at all?

Insomnia11 · 08/06/2011 16:18

Arf at "is it aunt as in predictive text?"

Salmotrutta · 08/06/2011 16:40

I keep seeing pampas grass references - what does it all mean??!!
