A couple of week ago, well now it nearly is, i got caught in the rainstorm at teatime while i was on my way to visit someone. Anyway i got absolutely sopping wet thro. Didnt come home and get changed straight away sat in the wet jeans and trainers while i visited someone and a couple of hours later came home. I opened the door and locked it behind me and stripped off leaving the wet clothes in the kitchen and got some clothes out of the basket that was for ironing. Too late. I started having a couple of sneezes on Thursday but didnt think nothing of it - Friday well and truly came down with it. I was supposed to have my hair done on Friday and turned up at the hairdressers with my nose running and he said i'll do it next week! Anyway went to superdrug and bought 3 boxes of tissues - thought that would be enough, superdrugs own lemsips thought id try them, and a packet of tunes. Thought that will see me thro the weekend and it'll be well on its way then. That is what i thought! You know what thought did! Had to go to Asda on Sunday to get more tissues. So gave up on the non-alcohol by sunday night and lit into the whisky, hot water, sugar and the lemons i bought at Asda! My sis rang me up while i was at the Asda - asking if i wanted to go to see a play by Rossendale Players down at the Millenium Theatre in Waterfoot. She said its called The Memory of Water. It's about 3 sisters who meet up just before their mum's funeral. She was asking me when i was full of a cold and i said no ive got a cold and dont feel too good. She said we're going and seeing it and t'other sis is coming too. I'll tell u more about it later - she talked me into going. Monday i got up and still felt rough and still sneezing like nobodys business. I knew i had to get better for Monday night so stayed wrapped up warm didnt go out didnt dare risk another whisky - i might have emptied the bottle! So had another lemsip and prayed the nose would stop running. Went to the pub on Monday night and took the flak. Went to the bar - he said j20 and i said no - wot i want is double whisky, hot water, lemon and 2 teaspoons of sugar in it. Had to run home to get the lemon - they didnt have any. But i sat in the pub watching the pool and getting slightly inebriated cos when i drank that i had another! When i was halfway through the second one - they passed the card to me and said i was playing - singles! Now if it was doubles it wouldnt have been so bad - but what i'd done before i went out was have another lemsip - and 2 double whiskys dont do anyone any good! I'm surprised i managed to hit the ball never mind pot em but i managed to pot 5 of em so i didnt do to bad. I broke off i was lucky 2 hit the cushion. Still free table and i aimed for the yellow and hit the red that was nowhere near the yellow! I was totally out of it! Bloke who i was playing said im ill - ive got out of sick bed to come and play you - i said im ill as well i can fall asleep standing up! lol But i got beat which is not surprising cos i wasnt with it. When i finally got home which wasnt till the early hours of the morning i woke up! Typical - when you want to go to sleep you cant cos you out but when u can go to sleep you dont want to. On Tuesday i got a phone call from the sports centre and had to ring them back. I'd promised to make the spiders, bats and witches for halloween for the kids to paint. I make them out of salt dough and bake em till theyre dry and hard. I make xmas decorations out of it and we sell them to raise money for the credit union. I rang my niece up and shes having a halloween party for her 2 kids who are 3 and 1 and i asked her if she wanted some meaning as shes a school teacher and ive made the xmas ones for her before anyway she said for the halloween party and not for her school because they arent doing halloween. So i made the dough up and there was only enough for the ones for the sports centre and i'd ran out of salt so i'll make hers later on this week and deliver them at weekend. They are pretty good if i say so myself. I made some a couple of week ago and painted them up myself and took them into work to show them what they can look like. I brought them home with me as well - i wasnt leaving them there. I've got to make the xmas decorations and plates as well for the credit union. I've got some ideas for the plates/plaques. I've always enjoyed doing stuff like that. I've got a box of stuff my nieces and nephews used to love rooting through and making stuff out of the card and sequins and stuff thats in there.
To the play. I went to my sisters after work today. I took stuff to get changed into with me to work. No way am i wearing trakkie bottoms and polo shirt advertising the sports centre out at night. Sis said does anything need ironing and i pulled my stuff out of the bag now i'd ironed them all before putting em in the bag this morning before i went to work. trousers were creased to kingdom come and sis said the hem has come down you need to sew that up. So sat in my sisters kitchen sewing my trousers hemline and she was making tea and saying hurry up with them trousers i need to put the ironing board away. Finished that and handed em over and she ironed em. Dont think she really trusts me with an ironing board and iron - even tho ive been ironing my own stuff since i was 16 and mum refused to iron my little chef uniform. She'd wash it but wouldnt iron it. I went and got ready while sis was finishing off making the tea and had tea and she left me eating mine while she got ready. I'd just finished and put the plate on the floor for the dog to wash when other sis turned up knocking on the window. Shouted up at sis and she shouted something back and didnt quite catch it - mite be because i shut the door to stop the dog getting upstairs and chasing the cats. Sis has 2 cats that live upstairs and get in and out of the house thro the windows upstairs - theyre scared of the dog. The dog lives downstairs and very occasionally gets upstairs - when he does one of the cats goes thro the window and doesnt come back for 2 days the other just sits there and as he goes past swipes him and dog turns tail and runs back downstairs. Sis says its funny just watching them. Anyway we are all ready and blaming each other for being late as usual. We set off. The play was absolutely brilliant. It was funny as anything and they were really good actors and actresses. It was about 3 sisters who are totally different and their mum has just died and its the day before the funeral. One sister (eldest) is a vegetarian who has her own health food business and is a health food nut - everything organic, the middle sis is a doctor and the youngest is one who's been living in spain and loves chemicals preferably grass! She lights a joint up and they share it between em and end up getting dressed up in their mums clothes that they are supposed to be getting ready to go to zimbabwe! They were brilliant. The second half wasnt as funny as the first but it was still good. We enjoyed ourselves and had a good time as well. We havent been out for a bit together and it was good to go out together.
