I'm back from my brief visit up t'North to see my parents. What fabulous weather it was - I burnt my arm whilst driving (both going up there & coming back - I'm not too quick on the uptake!!) as it was so hot I couldn't stand the window being up - I need climate control in my next car! The temperature on my way home got to 34.5 degrees C which is bloody hot by anyone's reckoning - especially stuck in a hot metal car with no air con - my water was practically boiling in it's bottle! Anyway, I got back to discover my bloke's parents are stopping with us and I hate not having the house to myself. His dad & I barely speak as we know whenever we do talk it nearly always ends in an argument. I've never met anyone before him who has fallen out with practically every person he's ever met - his family know what he's like but "you can't change him now" - well why should I bloody well change to adapt to his ignorant way of thinking - grrrr it drives me barking mad! His mum is alright but tends to take over everything so I feel like I'm the guest in my own home - I think I'll be hitting the vodka tonight & I'm not normally a big drinker. Sorry about the rant but I needed to let off some steam.
I'm really jealous about all those lucky enough to get to the ISIHAC recording in Halifax - it sounds like they had a fantastic time & I'm pleased to hear the guest was Rob Brydon. He's a brilliantly funny bloke & I look forward to hearing how well he's done on his first Clue.
I've booked a hotel in Edinburgh - I'm waiting (impatiently) for them to confirm the booking before I go ahead & get tickets for any shows but I'll be there for 5 nights (from the 14th) if all goes to plan. I can't wait!
Well, I suppose I'd better go - thankfully his parents have gone out for the day but no doubt they'll be back soon wanting feeding when I've not had chance to shop for them - sorry, I'll try to curtail my ranting. I'd better go and see what I can rustle up for them for dinner.

Mood - Frustrated & Vexed
Music - Just a sparrow chirping outside the window!
Ahhh ! Family ! My advice to you is....Kill them, kill them all now . Seriously, it's not worth getting stressed about, do what I do, push the anger down, bottle it up and then explode like one of Graeme's home made atom bombs . (my family and my husbands are really quite lovely and I don't know what I would do without them )
Just keep reverting to your Happy Place (i.e. Graeme whispering his his sexy dulcet voice "you naughty little minx"!) whenever they start REALLY doing your head in. Then you'll wander round like a loony with this faraway look and dirty grin on your face for days and with any luck they'll leave you alone.
That's what I do. Not obviously with the same Happy Place. I think mine's more like Graeme bending over by the door in the wetsuit (you have to concentrate on just above the sheep... but it's well worth it... crikey...!!!!)
Ah, wise words Not_A-Meg! I am doing just that and coping OK. If it wasn't for Graeme sexily saying those words to me a few weeks back I would have gone mental by now and wouldn't be nearly as happy as I am (depite the slight blip today!) See, Graeme is such a good doctor he keeps people sane just by saying a few words to them - he's a miracle worker (who also happens to look damn fine in tight trousers!!)
