Hiya, to friends I am always honest - in a non commital - highlighting it's very much just my opinion etc etc - but will say outright if I think something is a good or bad idea - if that makes sense.
With my 'ladies' I am a lot more softly softly (having said that - I'm not very 'soft' at the the best of times - but for me I'm softly softly!) - give them the facts as best I know them and try and find pros and cons for both sides -hopefully helping them towards their 'informed choice'!
Get me ay! Though reading that back - probably only makes sense to me too!! Plus, kind of explains why some of my ladies seem to end up more confused than when they started
