Into town this morning for coffee with friends - Kirsty and her two girls, Glyn with her granddaughter Erin and me with Katie. Last time Katie met Erin she pretended to be asleep just so Erin would stop talking to her but today Erin was very quiet owing to a sore throat which pleased Katie!
The waitress (stroppy at the best of times!) decided it would be absolutely hilarious to tip a jug of milk all over me - while I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose it kept Kirsty amused for a good ten minutes.....at my expense! Good job it wasn't a mug of scalding hot coffee! Apparently the waitress was absolutely mortified and I should think so too, it was all over my jeans which meant I couldn't very well go shopping and had to put them in the wash as soon as I got home before they started to smell!
Gave Glyn the stick of diabetic rock for Steve - hope he doesn't eat it all at once because it says it can have a laxative effect....nice! I tried to find him a diabetic sugar dummy to shut him up but there weren't any and the only rude rock I could find was shaped like willies and I don't think he'd appreciate those to suck on (!!) although if I'd been able to find a pair of boobs it would have been a different kettle of fish I'm sure!
Steve has decided that once he's dead he wants a glass coffin and for me, Kirsty and another single-mum-friend Zoe to sit on top of it in mini skirts.....each to their own I suppose! What he doesn't know is that if he wasn't already dead that sight would be guaranteed to finish him off! Its a good job he's in a wheelchair (sorry Steve!) because at least Glyn can keep him vaguely under control!
Decided to tackle Katie's bedroom when we got home, wish I'd never started now! She has about a million My Little Ponies (no, I'm not exaggerating) and they all have bits and bobs to go with them. I'm sure the damned things are breeding when I'm not looking. Managed to get her to part with a few books which I promptly sent to Kirsty's - less clutter in my house, more clutter in hers!
Kirsty bought all the bread mix in Tesco today but very kindly dropped one round for me - shame she didn't cook it as well! Loving the breadmaker though, its sooooo easy to use even I can do it and I am a bit of a technical dinosaur. Clive was telling me about his USB stick and MP3 player the other day and I seriously did not have a clue what he was talking about.......that's quite shameful given that he is way older than me.
This afternoon Katie and I are going to start an under the sea collage - her idea not mine (obviously!) - using a book she got out the library yeaterday. She has also asked Andy to get some arty crafty stuff for at his house - poor bloke doesn't have a clue what he's let himself in for but better that she makes a mess in his house than mine.
Andy gets sworn in or whatever they call it as a Special COnstable tomorrow - nothing Special about him in my opinion but there you go - and might be popping in here on his way back. I hope so because he's got Katie a new PS2 game and she's going to be nagging on about it all day so he might as well make a detour to drop it off.
Payday tomorrow - yippee! - although it won't be very much because I took part in the strike action by Unison earlier this month. So long as its enough to pay the bills I don't care. I work at Katie's school part time, my wages are more like pocket money than anyhing else!
I got a parcel in the post today which was hugely exciting and made a change from the usual junk mail and bills. Written on the back was "URGENT - Contains Chest Medication" which threw me slightly until I realised my adopted dad (I adopted him!) had sent me 40 duty free fags so happy days.
Just another normal day in the bizarre parallel world I seem to live in!
