Snape - Re Mr60 - You're right. I know. Totally. I also know that if the opportunity presents I probably won't say no. Don't quite know what it's going to take to get him out of my system but it hasn't happened yet.
Like the idea of leaving the notebook for him to find on his return (didn't realise about the ex being with him while away). Whatever you do, do NOT eat and/or shred his presents.
Totally get what you mean about the gym. I have a lot of friends who spend most of their day at gyms like that, then worry about whether their latest au pair is working out. They are good friends and while I know they (mostly) have good hearts and mean well, I also know it's just not me.
