Went to see Jack Savoretti last night at The Symphony Hall.
The people that bought our two spare tickets were delighted to join us.
Great seats, great atmosphere, lovely venue.

This happened yesterday.

Rushing off to make an appointment to have my nails done in the Vietnamese place in Cannock, I get there just in time.
She does my nails very quickly so I ask her if she can do my feet as well (time limit on car park).

Yes, she can, so I move from hand area to foot area, where the chair is meant to give you a back massage but it’s resembles something like torture. Anyway, after gorgeous hands and feet, I go to pay and she hands me my coat.

or rather NOT my coat.

Me “ That’s not my coat, mine is long, padded, belt,”

Her. “That coat on back of seat where you sit. This Your coat. This coat you come in.”

Me (Getting stressy and voice raising) That’s NOT my coat. Someone has gone off with my coat. I absolutely totally would not buy a coat like that.

By now, (everyone in salon has stopped watching Supermarket Sweep and all heads are turned towards “Hysterical Coat Woman”.

I’m going to look in the pockets of this coat and see if there is any ID then we can find person and sort out coat problem.

I reach into nasty coat pocket and pull out paperwork. YES result!

Silence while the whole salon waits.

Me. “Ok, I’m SO sorry, I don’t know how this has happened, but in the madness that is my life, it seems that I’ve inadvertently come out wearing my husbands coat.”

Pays, bill, skulks off.
Wearing husbands Barbour jacket.

Quite.
If we could mix the singing talent of Jack Savoretti with the artistic talent of Jack Vitriano we might have the perfect male.
Oh wait, we need a Jack Cook, and. Jack Clean, Jack Iron, Jack do everything, anyway you get the gist.

Got the plumber ripping the old bath out and putting a new one in.....only loo in the house is in the bathroom he's working in .

As usual with us, not just a straight forward job as originally thought. Previous bath installers had rammed it into the wall to fit it in, that's why we had to pay £600 for numerous holes in the bath to be repaired over the 5 years we've had it as it was being stressed and unsupported .

Bigger job than should have been, as got to knock out part of the wall to get it out, but got faith in this guy to eventually get it sorted .

In the mean time trying not to have too many cuppas to save crossing my legs. :roll:

Took the chance of a quick nip to the loo , whilst the plumber has gone to buy floorboards to replace non-existant and rotting ones that the cowboy bathroom fitters before had hidden under the rammed in bath.
Feeling rather lucky that we hadn't ended up like the scene in corrie , with the me in my bubble bath ending up in the kitchen below !

We must be jinxed. Nothing ever goes straight forward! New bath has been delivered with a part missing, so got to wait for that to arrive now before work can continue :(

With B&Q being prats supplying a missing part, possibly got 7 days wait for part to be shipped out before bath fitting can recommence again.
In the meantime it's a quick flannel wash in the sink, and trying not to get drunk and fall down the hole where the bath should be....

Just been asked where sons old baby bath is , from 23 years ago, and told off for getting rid of it . Don't know how hubby was going to squash into that in front of the fire :roll:
Might put the plug in the old bath that's out on the patio ,and sneak out in the dark for a dunk ....:heyhey:

Bit freaked out as to why a heavy bath would move position on the patio, since I last went out looking for the neighbours missing kitten, without a breath of wind at the moment :strange:

Been a few Break-ins on the estate the last few days, hoping no-one has climbed over the fence :hmm:

Keep those doors locked at all times folks ,even when in!
