Bras and pumpkins

Its been confirmed that bras, or more specifically, Mammy2's bras are weapons of mass destruction. One of them managed to feck up the washing machine much to our horror and the electrian's amusement. On the plus side the washing machine is fixed and Mammy2 has become washer woman again. She loves the machine. Halloween night went off without a hitch. One of the mates in work J had brought in 2 pumpkins which we carved at lunchtime and everyone admired. Of course after going to all that work I couldn't leave it, so I brought it home with me. The funniest is people in costume looking at me strangely because I've got a pumpkin under my arm? Weirdos. The walk to the bus stop was illuminated the whole way by fireworks. For something that's illegal there's a lot of it around. I love fireworks.

The kid whirled back in our lives yesterday for a few hours. She had rang me to ask if Mammy2 could meet her with her pills up town at 1. I told her Mammy2 was working now and wouldn't be able to, but I was leaving work early and could meet her. And there the fun ensued. She wanted makeup in the chemist, she needed some sort of concealer or something. Then when we went to do some shopping for dinner, the basket filled up with stuff I didn't even notice until I got to the checkout. When we got home, she threw her shoes in the middle of the floor, her cardigan on another chair and sprawled onto the couch with the crossword. It was like she had never left, the good ole days. She enjoyed
the mash potatoes dinner. She cleared the bathroom of shower gel and shampoo and suddenly, the poor bf's bag was stuffed. He's got great patience god bless him. He puts up with the kid and her mood swings, his sister is hitting puberty and his mother is going through the menopause. I hope he has a lot of male friends!

The big project went live without a hitch and we are getting a lot of positive feedback. In my current place of employment , we are not used to positive press so its a refreshing change. I had thought that work could calm down now that it's live but alas not. Work and other projects are as busy as ever. I am hoping to close off some of the other projects soon enough. I really dislike people who think they are being professional when in fact they are rude? Its a fine line I know, but its not that difficult. Idiots. The weekend ahead is looking nice and relaxing, with the exception of re-painting the apartment. On Sunday is the team dinner, it should be good fun. Its the least I can do for the guys who take care of the site. I mean they donate their free time to helping me out, a free meal is not exactly treating them. I will be getting new shirts made up for them. I'm looking forward to them having their own uniform as opposed to the same shirt most other people have.
