my comment was aimed at getting the user to take a step back from their red-misted moment and see that what they were doing was not helping the situation at all at the present time, and that they were better situated with their loved one so she may be comforted and reassured that everything will be ok.
of course, Margaret may well be quite happy to cry downstairs by herself on her ruined birthday whilst her fiancé goes upstairs to chat in forums, and if this is the case, I apologise for my out-of-place advice. I guess I need to study harder at my psychology classes...

Bender,
Would you be calm if this happened to you?
It's not hard for me to run upstairs to post and ask for advice, it's literally a couple of yards (ish). I take no offence to your post and nor do I want to turn this into a flame thread.
Question is what do I do? Ok I let my fiance cry downstairs, but told her to chill whilst I told her I would post on CF to see what people thought. Especially the timescale that was given to her. It was like "PAY TOMORROW OR ELSE YOU PARTY IS CANCELLED!"
Now I had to deal with a deputy manager that wears stainless steal underwear and she is sensitive to sod all.
So dilema time do I ignore it and party cancelled, considered people had been invited or do I pay it and take action after?
Well my answer is this. I have paid it, but I will be raising a chargeback/dispute with Mastercard which will hold things up whilst I get the necessary advice.
/waits for sarcastic comment
