Sharing A Granchild

I've recently been to france and met all of Dan's french family, he is half french. So we stayed with his french granparents who he calls Mammie and Pappy I'm not sure what I am ment to call them, I think they will be one of those people that I will never use there name to there face, like teachers when you have left school for a bit. In fact they did all have nic names so that we could chat about them without them hearing there names and wanting a translation of everything we're saying, not that we were saying anything horrible, just things that weren't important. For example Pappie's nic name was the clock because clocks= grandfather clook = grandfather = Pappie. and he didn't know what the english word clook was so it was fine.


Anyway the point of this story is that Helen is a very good friend of mine, and I hope I will be friends with her forever but I've thought that about people before and then I've lost touch with them a bit when I've moved away or whatever so I think the only definate way that we will still have contact when we're properly old is if we were related in some way. The most logical way would be if we became sister's in law, but we are both in all girl families so the only way to become sisters in law would be to marry brothers, and I'm already quite fond of Dan and his only brother is 17 and helen is 25 and that would be wrong!

So we're on to plan B sharing a granchild. There are pros and cons with this, cons we won't be related for another a least 20 years but problably more like 35 and if we both have all girls or all boys it won't work, but pros we can marry who we like, and I think there's a fair chance of our children liking eachother because, Me and Helen like each other and she also fancies ginger so basically If I was a man she probably would fancy me. so If I pass on the ginger gene and she passes on the fancing ginger's gene (if that is a gene) were on to a winners and were can have christmases together when were 80. Sorted!

we worked this out ages and ages ago but now Dan lives with Helen, (that's a bit were attually imagain if your grandad from one side was once housemates with your granny from the other side.) so yeah we were talking about our holiday in france and how Dan's Mammie taught him to make gallets which is like a savory pancake, and I said to Helen 'Dan is going to pass this knowledge on to his granchildren....who will also be your granchildren!' and then Helen got freaked out when she remebered the plan, esspecially when I wouldn't leave it and asked here to bick what granny name she wanted like gran or Nan or grandmar or whatever. she said we could decided on that another day, but I hope she lets be have Nana so I can be Nana Hannah. Watch this space (well not litrally this space wach her's or my offsprings womb.)

being blond

I'm being a bit blond at the moment, I don't mean the sun has bleached my hair. I mean metaphorically blond. I went to work on monday at 10am and after two hours my boss said, 'your not on the rota' so I got sent home. This really wasn't a good day for me to get sent home either because I've just moved house and the people who lived in the house before were very smelly and dirty boys, and monday was the day the cleaners were in all day shampooing the carpets.

But don't be sad, there is a happy ending! As I was walking out I was telling the guys who work on the kids art activieties (which I also do sometimes) how silly I am and they said, can you stay and help us we're one person short. so it all worked out great and you get paid over twice as much to painting with kids as you do to talk to difficult people on the phone and try and operate the evil booking system know as patron base.

So the moral is being blonde pays off.

I made an elephant

I made an elephant, it was fun.

That part of the blog was written in the style of my summer holiday 1993 diary which I was forced to write every single day, which I resented and still do!! when I gave it in at school mine was by far the best in the class and I got 2 merits but I remeber thinking 'that was not worth it all that hard work a whole summer ruined by school work, just for two merits! rubish!!

I am moving house in 10 minutes. bye.
