Just my luck and, well...I won't be wearing those again! Plus, investigations are drawing a blank!

A series of posts!

Unbelievable - just my luck!

I am a day late posting this week as I didn't get a chance to prepare my post or to upload on time for a good reason... The 'man at the gate' - see previous posts - is back! Well, in the form of post through my door. I will tell the tale of that in the coming weeks as I am still waiting to hear back from someone in the chain now. Watch this space...

Well, I won't be wearing those again!

I noticed a small hole in the back of my jeans (skin tight ones) where it joins the pocket, so I sewed it up. The other day, when out with my Mum, I was wearing these jeans and I bent down to put on my boots - I always drive in trainers, and felt the hole reappear, only worse!

By the time I was in the supermarket, bending down to select things etc, the whole was getting worse and worse, with the material fraying! Thank goodness I had a long coat on otherwise it would have been a major issue!

Annoyingly, I didn't think to take a picture of the whole once home and jeans off. It was, however, absolutely HUGE and they have gone in the bin now! 

Investigations are drawing a blank...

Meanwhile, X and I have been back to the 'investigation site' and there's nothing to report. As it is a LONG story, I will save that for a slow news (chance would be a fine thing, lol) week and tell you it all from start to where we are at now and our plans to see if we can uncover anything!

An exciting announcement and more antics!

Since being accepted into the Castle Priory Press family, I've been busy editing my book and the news of my signing is now official!

Treadmill, trolley and trifle!

I decided that I wanted to get a new treadmill as I didn't like the one that I had and passed that to a friend instead. The handle bar thing made my arms hurt and I decided to go for one without. 

It arrived and it was lovely - white, and, just as I wanted there was no bar. However, this made trying to get on it an interesting experience. It took me a good five minutes with someone else having to go on it first to show me HOW in order for me to manage to copy what they did. Oh how we laughed!

I'm happy to report now that I am able to get on (and off) of it without assistance of supervision!

On the very same day, I took my Mum shopping in the afternoon to a nearby supermarket and, unfortunately the wheel of her trolley caught in a drain cover and tipped her trolley over. SOMEHOW, a glass bottle of olive oil survived, but a trifle burst through its cellophane and went all over the bag - and my coat as I was picking it all up for her.

As I had been walking with my trolley ahead of her, initially all I heard was the crash. I spun round quickly to check she wasn't injured and dashed over to her seeing her moving her knee out of the way and the trolley/contents on the floor.

After realising she was Ok, I suddenly went "My trolley!" I had literally abandoned it on the spot. Thankfully, despite a slight hill, it had come to a stop by a bollard in the car park less than a metre where I left it and NOT into a car - phew!

We had to see the funny side of it all as it was one of those situations. They managed to eat the trifle (well was was left in the pot) and I took her back last week to get another one that remained intact and had more custard as that was what had mainly leaked out.
