One of those posts without an identity
Many thanks for all your suggestions over the weekend. I’m pursuing them all believe me. Over the weekend I very thoughtfully relieved Mr PE from a great wad of his Paypal money by going on an E-Bay scary book spending spree. Well it was only sitting there and they charge you for transferring it over to your bank account so I might as well do exactly what they want me to do with it. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
All in all a productive weekend, I went to a tutorial which cleared up the whole exam process, so that I now know what I’m doing and where I’m going with the whole revision thing. Oh and she also put my mind at rest about my essay, I haven’t got my mark yet but she said it was ‘excellent’ which makes me feel like the world’s worst drama queen for making such a fuss about the godforsaken thing. I feel like one of those really irritating skinny people who are really fishing for compliments* when they say,
‘Oh God I feel soooo FAT!’
To which I roll my eyes and try to say with feeling,
‘Don’t be silly, you’re not fat.’
‘Oh yes I am. I got on the scales and I’ve gone up to a whole 7 and a half stone.’
‘Well blow me...’
At this point they usually start puffing their recently blow dried hair,
‘and my hair is just like rat’s tails.’
Yawn
‘and I didn’t get time to apply my make up his morning..’
‘Hmmm’ I say as I look into their carefully parted eyelashes....
Go on tell me you know at least one of these people.
Oh and Satan's assistant, you know the cat who was responsible for the Marvin Mouse and Bertie Bird (one with a happy ending and one with a sad ending) fiascos, is walking around the neighbourhood with one of those funnel collars looking like he has been in one hell of a fight..
If I wasn’t so much of an animal lover I might just find that funny.
*I am of course not including those with eating disorders with whom I have every sympathy. You usually don’t get them commenting in public about how ‘fat’ they think they are because they are so cut up inside that they don’t want to draw attention to it.
