Hmmmm.....how you have to love Mondays off work!!!
So here I am sitting at my mum's, abusing the facilities by drinking her tea, eating her food, using the computer and waiting for my washing to finish in the machine...and she's not even home! I'm suprised I haven't had my keys confiscated!!
Anyway, I HAVE to be here today as my washing machine blew up last week and started peeing water all over the kitchen floor. The very nice (in a friendly way, not a phwoargh way!) man came to look at it today and basically told me it will cost too much to repair so I might as well buy a new one.
I've never bought a washing machine before, I'm a bit daunted by the whole prospect to be honest! Still it'll have to wait as I have far more pressing things to sort out as I am heading off to Lanzarote for a week on Sunday with the lovely Chicken and I can't wait to just be able to sit on my butt in the sunshine and do nothing.
Life has been fairly busy over the last few weeks with various birthdays and engagement drinks and last week was Chicken's 30th birthday so I whisked him up to London for a romantic night in a 5*hotel opposite Green Park and then dinner at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant 'The Boxwood Cafe' which was absolutely fantastic and to add to the enjoyment I spotted the Big G himself in the bar wearing his whites...obviously he was there just to cook for me!!!
But with so much travelling around to and from London and lunch with Chicken's mum and step-dad then dinner at Bee's with Ali and hubby, the weekend was pretty hectic and I think I've only just about recovered.
Anyway, it's time for me to head off, I need to check out the cricket score and then get home to do some ironing (the excitement!)
