Dear Janice, a few months before lockdown my husband bought me a block of guitar lessons for my birthday. However, after my second lesson the chemistry between my young sex god music teacher and I was so strong that we ended up having the most awesome sex. Lessons are now back on again and as I still have a credit for four more lessons I would like to go back for more, but I know if he comes on to me again, I won’t have the willpower to say no. Susan.

Dear Susan, comes on to you? Willpower? Are you kidding? Let’s be honest here, you are secretly hoping that as soon as you enter his flat, he’ll barely have time to pluck his instrument and the pair of you will be at it again!

There are plenty of music teachers out there, so rather than using the excuse of having a few musical credits tucked up your knickers, there is no real artistic reason for you to go back to this young sex god unless you are hoping to have your strings twanged again.

You’re married. Write off your musical credits and book some online tuition.

Dear Janice, my husband has been offered a promotion which he has waited years for, however, due to Covid redundancies he has now been told his job entails covering other areas, and if he accepts this promotion, it means we will have to move 100 miles away. My mum and dad are elderly, and I feel I can’t desert them. But on the other hand, my husband can’t afford to risk losing his job. I’m torn. Sarah.

Dear Sarah, last year was turbulent for so many families, but the good news is your husband not only kept his job, but now has his long-awaited promotion. This should be a happy time for you both, but family commitments seem to have taken the spark out of this for you. However, it’s not the end of the world and you have options. Your husband could work away and return home at weekends, but this would be a last resort in my eyes. Contact social services who can advise on the assistance your parents are entitled to. Also, Age UK can go through the support and care on offer. Many elderly people rely on these services because, unlike your parents, they are not fortunate enough to have siblings who can or will help care for them. It’s also time for you to look to other members of your family to pull their weight and help with your parents’ care. It was an absolute tonic for my mum and dad when my children and grandchildren visited them, so if you can put these plans in place, there is no reason why you can’t move away and return at weekends. Also, when anyone visits your mum and dad, ask them to video call you so that you can chat and have peace of mind seeing for yourself that they’re OK. Good luck.

Dear Janice, I’m fortunate that I don’t need to shop in the run of the mill high street shops, and nearly all of my clothes are designer. I have the latest trainers, shoes, and accessories, (handbags, jewellery, wallets, scarves etc). The problem is my flatmate. She is great to share with and does keeps the place immaculate, however, she can’t afford expensive items and every now and then she puts me in an awkward position by asking to borrow something of mine. We are the same size, but I don’t feel I should have to share my expensive clothes with her just because we are flatmates. I don’t want to fall out with her so what do I say? Sophia.

Dear Sophia, firstly I do know what accessories are so no need to go into such detail, but can I ask, do you shoplift? The reason I ask is, if you can afford more designer gear than House of Fraser, how come you need to share a flat?

What’s going on here? I suggest you get your head out of your ass and start to show a little bit of compassion. Good flatmates are extremely difficult to come by and you admit yours is great in almost every way. She certainly doesn’t sound like the kind of person who would trash your high-end items, so what’s the problem? Last year many lives spiralled downwards, so it would do you no harm to keep in mind that as well as going from rags to riches, people can go from riches to rags, and that one day you could find yourself unable to afford such luxury items. I’m sure if the designer shoe was on the other foot (excuse the pun), she would be more than happy to let you borrow items.

Dear Janice, in hindsight, I made the mistake of making my girlfriend a coffee in the morning and now she expects it every time she stays over. I feel she is taking me for granted but it seems childish to stop. Billy.

Dear Billy, and your dilemma is? Look Billy, if at this early stage in your relationship, making her a cup of coffee now and then is too much effort, do the lassie a favour and dump her now.
