What did your family do now?
I try to spend not too much time with my family, as they can drive me mad (apart from my brother). And I try not to give good news to my mum until it's all certain and close to be real, or she calls me every day to ask if there's been any progress.

I have houmous and carrots for later, but I had too much lunch, so I might leave it until tomorrow.

they just......
...... argh. one brother whinged because he was dressed too smartly for the venue and apparently this was my fault because he had thought we were going to the golf club. then my other brother whinged because the menu was burgers and milkshakes (you should SEE the menu, they even make jaffa cake milkshakes!). I CHOSE IT BECAUSE OF YOUR CHILDREN, YOU INGRATE.

then sister-in-law 1 whinged because it was too hot. and there was no sunday roast. like at the golf club. and sister-in-law 2 said nothing but looked very reproachfully at me with her over-dressed golf-club-wearing eyes.

and the kids were overexcited and bounced all over me and my monumental hangover. AND we never got to the fucking milkshakes because my brother was too hot and wanted to get an ice-cream in the park instead. oh yeah, a fucking mr whippy. that's the same as a triple banana chocolate crumble milkshake.

then the park was too busy, WHICH I TOLD THEM IT WOULD BE, so we ended up back in the garden with waitrose choc-ices.

families suck.

Your problem here is that you frequent golf clubs

no no no
i refuse to frequent them! the last time i went, there was nothing for lunch that wasn't a sunday roast. they could not believe i did not want it.

i ended up with egg mayonnaise. followed by an OMELETTE.

i have refused to set foot in the sexist, unenlightened place again. women are only allowed in certain parts of the place (this objection does not include the gents, smart-ass!) FFS.

They are full of nouveau riche wankers, with ideas way above their Mason brainwashed heads

Bert's certainly did.

Poor you
I would have told them to go away to the park and I'd have stayed there with my milksake.

had it been closer to home
i would have done EXACTLY this.

brothers suck. children suck. not getting my milkshake sucked.

I like my brother (not in a Bert's way)
But I have my problems with my sister and mother. Now, if they're going to get between me and my milkshake... there'll be blood!
