My mothers carer.

Left the house at 7-30 this morning...urgh was hard work I can tell you, probably because I'd had 1 extra brandy ( bad influences on this site..!!) Sainsburys first port of call to do mums shopping and I must say, it was bliss scooting round without it being packed with screaming kiddies, why are they allowed to scream? But then again it could be me that makes them scream when I pull faces at them!? Off to post office…

I lied to mother and told her I had to work in the office all day, if I told her we were going to have some time to ourselves I would have had some comment along the lines of ' alright for some' or ' yes just leave me to cope alone'!! So we just put our coats on, got in the car and buzzed off... We had a FAB day…

Two whole days of constant ramblings from Gt Uncle, for anybody who's seen my other posts you will know we have had the queen mother at the back door ( but he was very disappointed in her hat!) we've had ships going passed the front of the house!
