HELLO again, hello...
Just letting you know, if anyone actually reads this, that I'm still alive, ready, willing and able but a bit bored with writing, so apologies for not posting anything lately.
Well, life's pretty interesting at the moment. My new man, aka Frank, has more or less moved in (I've even found myself washing his socks lately). Just when does it become official, do you think? Is it when he moves his toothbrush into the bathroom, or his undies into the drawer? Or is it when he starts contributing to the bills? Do tell...
The other day at dinner, the three of us sitting round the table, The Princess, now a hugely grown-up six and just lost her first baby tooth, goes, apropos of nothing: "So, just when are you two getting married?" Cue spluttering, chips spat across the table and awkward explanations of "you don't have to get married, you know." I think she just wants to wear another posh dress. I didn't dare tell her it took me 14 years to marry her father.
Tomorrow marks the start of two weeks off work, the second of which will be spent in London, viewing Tutankhamun, Hampton Court, Buck House and other tourist attractions. I'll give your love to Lizzie if she's in. See you when I get back.
