Reading westenders blog about her brother made me laugh. So thought i'd tell you about my day with my brother. He's older than me - he was 49 last week and wind him up about his age seeing as he'll be 50 next year ......

Monday im still in bed ... and my mobile goes. Its my brother - "can i come and use your phone?" "Yeah give me half an hour and come down" - "im outside right now!!!" He should have been at work - well i thought he should have but turns out hes on holiday from work. I stuck the kettle on and he sat down and said wheres the phone - which is a very good question - when you have one of them cordless ones .. I said ring it - when it rings i'll find it. So he makes his call and the kettles...
