I Don't Be-lieve it!
I got compared to Victor Meldrew today.
My Mum was upstairs with Littleone and I was trying to rinse out some beer cans for recycling. I began shaking one violently trying to get that last stubborn drop of water from the bottom.
'Come on' I thought 'I know you're in there hiding and however much I turn this blasted can upside down and shake from side to side, you are still going to sit there waiting until I'm carrying you to the box and then you are going to choose your moment to gush down my leg.'
Except I must have thought out loud because suddenly my Mum was there in the doorway saying,
'Y'alright Victor?'
I mean Victor Meldrew? Come on Mother I'm nothing like him. I'm female for a start and I'm (just) under 30. Anyone would think I was a cantankerous old fart or something...
