Only 4 more days to go until the next weekend (if you don't count today that is).
The boss rang at lunch time and asked if I could make it into the office so I packed my stuff and was on the train within an hour. Pretty impressive until you realise I forgot a top I borrowed from a colleague and I left without my mobile only to have to get the cab driver to turn around and let me grab it.
Was in the office for half three, the weather was seriously miserable, what has happened to summer this year? Looking out the glass walls it seemed more like November than July, the rain falling as a mist the air had a bluish gray hue that just drains the energy and enthusiasm out of you (not that being at work doesn't do that). Thankfully I was only there for about an hour and a half.
Jo and I caught the bus back to Romford on time but it seems as though we shouldn't have been so lazy and should have walked to the train station as the traffic was at a stand still and it took us over 45 mins to get from the office to the M25 junction (about a mile I think but wouldn't stake my life on it cos that would be silly).
The Pizza guy arrived not long after we got back to Jo's flat, me Jo and Jon watched some Dr Who re-runs because we are very cultured, debated the merits of Tennant over Eccleston and about half eight I swam over to the inlaws house.
Pretty good timing actually as the kids had just had their bath for the night (worryingly the same bath and Robert is getting a bit old for all that really) and Tom was on the phone to his mum. He was still pretty peeved at me for disappearing to the office but I guess he should have figured out that that's what they pay me for! Robert was pretty tired I think, he spent all evening on my lap cuddling which was really great (I know it's pathetic but I'm broody so shut up).
Ok so I was quite content being at the inlaws until Lesley turns to me and says that the kids might have nits. To set the scene more appropriately, she had spoken to me on the phone and suggested I sleep their rather than on Jo's sofa, then waited until I had arrived and cuddled the kids before mentioning they might be infected with the little critters. Genius.
