I was supposed to do this some time ago but finding a time when the both of us were either not busy or falling asleep after work/a long day was nigh on impossible. Miraculously this weekend we are both bright eyed and bushy tailed and so, in an effort to come across less deep and meaningful, I am sprucing up this blog with a bit of light hearted humour. And who else does humour better than my Mam. Prepare for graphic descriptions of what it is like to live with me. Future flatmates- you have been warned.
~ Firstly what obvious signs are there that I live here? ~
Mam: Guaranteed the floor has her dinner on it. Doesn't know where her mouth is. Too busy watching TV I think. Her sheep (Dressing Gown) can be found anywhere as well.
~ Do I play my music too loud? ~
Mam: No, she's permanently plugged in. She can't hear the question when asked.
~ Can I make a good cuppa? ~
Mam: Definitely good cuppa, best one just before 9 o'clock when I smack my lips meaning 'cuppa.'
~ What household chore am I the best at? ~
Mam: She's good at cooking bacon sandwiches. Did say the other day she finds it irritating having dishes left on the bench when she's doing them but found a pile the next morning. Says it was too late- all hers!
~ And worst? ~
Mam: Hoovering, says she doesn't like the new hoover. It plugs in like the rest!
~ Can you remember when you first gave me the house keys? ~
Mam: When she returned home- just kidding! Probably senior school. I was at work and thought she was now capable of letting herself in. However she still waits for her tea!
~ What is the oddest thing I do? ~
Mam: She leaves her clothes in the shape of a body at the bottom of my bed (room leads to ensuite) when she has a bath.
~ What's been the best thing about the past 20 years living with me? ~
Mam: She's extremely good at the internet therefore can help me. She has also been an excellent typist and I use her occasionally for my essays on work.
~ And the worst? ~
Mam: Before she was on her meds- nightmare!
~ Will you miss me when I move out? ~
Mam: I will miss Sophie but will not miss the mess. Bailey will miss her as he will have nobody to hug all afternoon.
