Pinocchio tells a story

Her upstairs has been on the phone trying to harass me into extending the lease. She is a better story teller than I am ... when I reminded her that her prospective (non-existent) buyer quote "did not care about the lease", she told me that it had fallen through because "he couldn't get the survey done, because he had a car accident .. on the M4 and his wife is in hospital in a coma". What next ... She'll be telling me Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction and Father Christmas is real!! Pinocchio, I can see your nose from here!

Wedding dress for sale .. only worn twice

Cream, my hubby, thinks I am mad .. we are going to a wedding on Saturday and as it is the first family wedding we are attending since getting married, it is traditional for the bride to dress appropriately. For appropriately, read "like a bride". Cream thinks this is just an excuse to get the wedding dress out of the suitcase, where it was lovingly shoved away ... Even having tried it on again, I suspect he thinks I won't actually go through with it! Oh he of little faith!

Personally, I think this is an excellent tradition ... What other culture do you get your moneys worth out of the wedding dress??

Avocado Alarm Clock

I was awoken this morning at 5.30am by an avocado .... Goldie obviously bored by his inactive companions decided to roll an avocado seed across the laminate floor for an hour! The numerous quieter toys which have been purchased over time are sitting gathering dust on the mantlepiece ... It's like a buying a kid an expensive toy only to see them play with the cheap looking box ... So anyhow after successfully covering every single inch of the laminate floor with passes that would put the England Football team to shame ... he decides a bit of wrestling is needed and decides to come and headbutt me for the next half an hour ... Don't you just love them!

Well seeing as I was up early I figured I might as well use my time constructively and walked to work again! It would seem the fitness bug has bitten the family ... I hear rumours that Goliath now rides a two wheeled chariot to work ... What ever next!!!
