Just some advice.

I am off down to my dad's tomorrow at short notice. I was going to text MIL and see if I can pick up D's present while I'm down there to save her some postage. She may have changed her mind and not be sending one or she may have already sent it so this question may therefore be mute.

If I go to see MIL and FIL, I want to be able to say the right things about the M, should it come up. I won't be bringing it up, but just in case they do. I will try and steer the conversation away from it, but again just some tips what to say - and some nice phrases to say it with. Particularly about NC (and it not being petty), Xmas gift, Xmas things W wanted - that kind of stuff. I also want them to know I'm GALing, hold no ill feeling to W and that while her affair / adultery (do I say adultery?!) is ongoing, I want no further contact to protect me and D.

In the past when I've spoken to W's friend I always get carried away and say far too much. This time, even if it doesn't happen, I want to be prepared.

Any advice, particularly key phrases to say, is appreciated.

P.S. Cutter, your tag line is spelt wrongly ... it's opposite not oppositie smile
