[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cute crib! Cute bump!

PCA and I ransacked the flat. There is no suitcase here. I shall ring cleaning agency tomorrow.
Seska, you might want to frame your call to the cleaning people that you can't find it, and does she remember if/where she moved it?

Is a good idea - but how do I cover three different things having gone missing with that?
Edit:

I concur with the above.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You don't actually. You just frame it that way, so you don't seem like you're making an accusation, while anybody listening will hear the actual unstated accusation. So they know what you're upset about, but you're not immediately putting the firm on the defensive -- you're giving them a way to save face and still either get you your stuff back or fire the cleaner.

Well, you could make it just less accusatory with a sampling of that. "We're a little worried. Possibly she moved it and we just can't find these things. But they are missing. [Clearly unspoken but obviously there, or you can say it: it's highly unlikely they walked off on their own and we have already scoured the flat, but we don't really want to believe this of her]"

I like that. Thanks. I'll give that a go.
Big dinner with wine has made me sleepy. Time for Radio 4 comedies in bed, followed by sleeping. All good things. Night-night, Bitches!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I remember my nephew declaring girls more trouble than they were worth when he was in college.
My youngest brother has reached the same conclusion. Which, given his dating history, is understandable. (He has plenty of female friends, it's just that the ones with which there's a mutual attraction seem to be prone to such behaviour as moving back to South Africa to give their ex-boyfriend another chance.)
