Well they say cheats never prosper and that is so true. Today I cheated and I have paid the price big time I'm ashamed to say.
Was going to take my mother to Westcliff today for lunch, but as it was tipping it down first thing this morning I decided a change of plan was needed. Nothing worse than sitting in a car, drinking a cup of coffee out of a plastic cup and stinking your car out with fish and chips, trying to watch the sea through steamed up windows while it's lashing it down outside. I don't think so.
So we left leaving till later and went out looking for a country pub to have lunch instead and then afterwards off to fill up her fridge again from the supermarkets. No I didn't steal the food from Tescos in revenge for them doing me out of £15 yesterday, although thinking about it now... Noooo that's a terrible idea!
Anyway I diverse. We found a lovely pub near where we used to live and when we got in there, they were doing Golden lunches. In layman's terms... OAP rates. Well after looking at the proper menu for myself and I got thinking that I could have three smaller courses rather than two large and it would be a lot chaper. So I found myself ordering two Golden lunches. One for mother and one for me.
Mother nearly gave it away by whispering in a what would be most people's normal voice, but through the side of her mouth to draw even more attention to us; 'aren't you suppose to be over 60?'
Well I thought, I do waddle at times like an oldie and I do have natural silver grey hair and the lack of sleep certainly has given my face that lived in look just lately. My payback for my wrong doings was from the young waiter who didn't even raise an eyebrow when I ordered the meals, so that's karma for you!
To top it all the sky opened as I was coming back to the car after doing her shopping and I got soaked. Then I got soaked again trying to get mother, her wheeler and her shopping out of the car and now instead of looking like Ms Wet T-shirt, I look like a drowned rat. An old drowned rat at that.
So not only do I feel knackered, but I look it too! Bugger, bugger, bugger!
Lots of love Debbie x
About Me
- Me...Debbie Burden... or known as Burders
- I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!
