Day 129 - Hormonal Hannah is ready to explode.

Baggy has had a lovely day being a "lady who lunches". She met up with a school friend. They reconnected a few months back (two weeks before Baggy realised that Lawrence-the-durmoid-cyst was living inside her). Since school they had probably caught up about half-a-dozen times. Clever Bird was trying to figure out how long it was before that, that she had seen her and her other three school friends. She gave up. But in the end realised that it must have been over nine years ago!!!!! So once again, the whole "life is too short" thing is amply demonstrated. The five of them have a reunion in early May though. Baggy is very excited that she will be seeing them all.

When she got home Furry Mama took Minty Mutt out for a late walk. It was freezing. She then had to go next door as she is cat-sitting Jack, the attack cat! She had the house key in her car from the morning visit. She brought it and her own house keys in when she got back from lunch. She came in and got changed so Furry Mama could take Mint out. So the key should have been on the table right? No. In her handbag? No. In her sheepskin coat pocket? No. In her jeans pocket? No. In the kitchen? No. Still in the car? No. In her handbag? Still no. Coat pocket? Still no. Fifteen minutes and several hot flushes later, Clever Bird decided to ask her other neighbour for her key. "Haven't they changed the locks?". "Yes". Oh ****. Clever Bird was just trying to figure out how to break into the house as Furry Mama is in charge for another four days, when she spotted the key on the front garden path. Phew! And breathe. Jack was fine. Soppy in fact. No attack today.

While at the neighbour's Clever Bird asked if their landline was working. It was. So was "Jack's". Baggy's has not worked for a month. Very long story. Clever Bird phoned to check what was going on, to be told that the problem had been fixed. Urrr, no it hadn't. Yes another house did have a working line with Baggy's phone number for two weeks. But there was a fault on the line. Really! You don't say? Grrrrrrrrr! Half an hour of trying to explain to a script reading call centre bod, had Hormonal Hannah about to have a total sense of humour failure. More senior people will be calling to hear her complaint tomorrow. Freda Fretter will believe that when it happens. Time to rely on mobiles only? That might be a plan if that didn't go off-line for hours at a time too. And breathe.........
