Selfish friend

I was very good at the dentist so thoroughly deserved a present. I bought outrageous clothes to match my new femme fatale mode. I'll probably take them all back next week when I realise what a fright I look.

I love Thursdays because they are my non-exercise days when I blob about and do things housholdy and sometimes go to the seaside. Today I am cooking. Tonight I am trying out a few culinary experiments so a few of my friends have been summoned as guinea pigs. Of course everything is stupidly complicated. I can smell the pudding burning but it hasn't yet had its prescribed time in the oven. This is all practice for my forthcoming supermarket cooking day in December when I have to cook a meal for 4 and be paid heaps of money for the privilege. I have been selected as "a typical Posh Supermarket customer" which is a bit odd as I am a Sainsburys girl but I will pretend. It should be good fun and I'm up for fun - you know me.

Internet Dating Jane got fired from her job which I am considerably more thrilled about than her as we can now play. In order to cheer her up I thought we could go and collect logs for her wood burner. We took the kids' car as it has a big boot but it also has gears. I am not familiar with gears and we both had a nightmare locating reverse. Somehow, we kangarooed to the Wimbledon Common log pile and filled the boot to the point where it no longer closed but we shoved a bit. We then had to unload all the sodden logs at her house in the rain. I did moan which, as I had volunteered for this task, wasn't very kind to Jane. I am so looking forward to toasting my feet in front of her roaring fire throughout the winter months seeking sanctuary from Mr Smith and the tribe. I so hope she doesn't find any suitable employment for many a month; it's great having her around.
