Day 48 - Going Round in Circles


WhatsApp Group:

Me: You ok Sarah?X
Sarah: It's not easy girls. I'm trying to ignore him but it's hard in this flat. He keeps trying to engage me in conversations AND I caught him using my honey and ginger teabags xxx
Me: Tosser!
Sarah: He swaggers about in his pants, probably thinking that it'll make me change my mind cos he's sooooo irresistible!!!
Vyshali: Ew 😱 x
Me: You're not falling for it are you??
Sarah: As if! He's so far up his own arse! He had the nerve to leave all of his dishes for me to do last night. I actually don't think he knows how to wash up!!
Vyshali: There's no way that you can chuck him out?🤔 xx
Sarah: His parents are too vulnerable. On the plus side, I suppose it makes me feel a bit safer to have a man around. According to Facebook that lunatic's back terrorising the area and apparently, he attacked someone the other night.
Vyshali:😱😱
Me: Shit! Like there's not enough to worry about in the world atm xx
Karen: I don't know what that useless streak of piss will do to protect you though Sarah x
Sarah: True.😂 Even though he fancies himself as a bit of a martial arts expert 😂😂
Karen: Well if you REALLY can't ask him to leave, perhaps you can have a bit of fun in the meantime! X
Sarah: What do you mean???X
Karen: A few childish pranks to piss him off x
Karen: Switching the hot water off when he's showering? Putting salt in the sugar? If that was me last night with the dishes, I'd have put them all under the covers on Dave's side of the bed!!
Me: Charlie might be leaving of his own accord before you know it 😃 xx
Vyshali:😂😂 xx
Sarah::💪💪
Karen: Arsehole!
Vyshali: Knobhead!😂 xx
Me: Tosser!X

"What day is it, Mum?" Molly asked as I was putting my boots on to go out to the supermarket.
     "Sunday," I said. "I'm almost a hundred percent certain it's Sunday. Probably a bad day to go shopping but I have no choice. I don't want another day of Supernoodles."
     "Well, I love Supernoodles."
     I was so tempted to unzip my boots and leave Tesco until tomorrow but then I glanced at the empty space in the corner where the wine normally stood. "Then I'll buy you some more," I said, stroking the top of her head.
     The queue to go into the store was the longest I'd seen it.  Every time I went shopping, restrictions seemed to be getting tighter.  All in all, I was out of the house for over three hours, I was the best part of £200 down and I still didn't have flour or eggs! When would this end? Not any time soon if Boris's bizarre announcement was anything to go by.
     Tonight was the night that John and I felt we'd come full circle. Two whole months of UK Lockdown and it felt like we hadn't got anywhere.  There was no end in sight. Boris's announcement had me jittery, not helped by John's lengthy rant that followed. It seemed appropriate that we should down a bottle of Merlot each. I don't know why. It just seemed like the most sensible course of action under the circumstances!🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

At times like these, I REALLY wish I hadn't seen so many Horror/ Dystopian/ Zombie Apocalypse box sets on Netflix.       As recent news images started to flash onto our screens like the opening titles of 'Dawn of the Dead', my brain automatically fast-forwarded to those inevitable scenes just before the closing credits start to roll. I've read enough books and seen enough drama of this genre to know how it will end; with me probably having to engage in an unspeakable sex act with some gormless trolleyboy behind the 'Click and Collect', in exchange for a packet of Cream Crackers!      My hubby, who was full of big talk about 'self sufficiency' and home grown tomatoes a couple of weeks ago, is already rapidly losing the plot, so make no mistake about it -  when the shit hits the fan, it'll be down to me to do whatever I have to do for the family. Even if the selfish bastards don't particularly deserve it! With a bit of luck, we have a long way

January - Hello 2021!

 Not gonna lie, I always find emerging from my Christmas cocoon to be a challenge. But this year ....... dear God!😩      It had been a very strange time for the family. After months of having this thing hanging over us like an executioner's guillotine, we actually had  it! Having endured John's almost constant hysteria - his persistent worrying, obsessive disinfecting and pathological fear of the world and its residents - we had succumbed to the virus anyway. And most importantly of all, we had survived and come out the other side. Don't get me wrong, coronavirus isn't to be recommended. It wasn't pleasant. But like all those things in life that you manage to survive, there's always a plus side to be found. Apart from John FINALLY having to stop worrying about catching the bloody thing and accepting that the virus particles had actually outwitted him, I managed to lose a great deal of the weight that I'd piled on during the lockdown of 2020. This meant that
