Hi Defacto, others have given you good advice already, but perhaps when she says stuff like this - you could just reply, Ahh, thanks. (Pause.) Well, you take care & I'll see you Tuesday.

Truly, I agree with GB, if your W wanted something to change, she could say so. I'm guessing from all that has happened in your sitch (like many of ours...mine included) it would take a great deal more than this for you to break your stride. So, until or unless, I think it's appropriate, pleasant and generally empathetic murmurings like above - then off you go.

Take care Defacto & glad to hear the 'street walkin' cheetah' still has napalm in his pocket!! Xx
