h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

No, no, no - the post was late - from last year

Please don't be

I'm sorry - just can't help it! I only get one & I have to make absolutely sure I've dropped enough hints

No really, I'm very happy for you - have you any idea who it's from?

It's great having a mystery isn't it? Have they stuck to the true form & insulted you?

You would have screamed if you'd been here !

Red envelope addressed to self

SWALK on the reverse

Opened up - all excited and trembling -

Card inside says 'To my darling Chip'





Yes, it was from Hellmans, with a 30p coupon off any jar of mayo


Yeah, sure, let's get it on (as they say)

Runs off crying..........

How absolutely awful for you - my deepest sympathies - how cruel & - I'd have to do something back to them - haven't a clue what though!

Couldn't you tippex the name out & make out the card was from someone else? Or is it too blatently obvious?

Mind you that doesn't help the disappointment

Have a & a hot steaming , here's a to mop up the beads of frustration

In the circumstances, best laugh I'd had for ages.

Anyway, off to Tesco to spend me coupon !

That's the right attitude m'girl, chin up, walk tall & all that

I'll have a chicken mayo sarni tomorrow please

Morning brandy

One chicken sarnie, heavy on the mayo coming right up !

Salad ?

Catch you later for a maybe !

Gee for the caffeine/alcohol boost! (oops slipped into American terminology there - mustn't let it happen again )

I'll take the sarni with me - oh yes, I'll help you out: loads of mayo, a bit of salad, but only if you have enough. Hairdresser apptmt. at 11.45: trim & highlights Getting ready to go to my daughter's doctorate ceremony next Tues/Wed - we're going to stay the night beforehand as it is in Bristol & she lives in Newbury.

Another piece of coffee (before HE finishes it off)?

Did you tell the checkout person about the voucher or did you keep somewhat silent

Have a pleasant day - yep, catch you later - it's tipping it down with rain & windy here

Hi again for me in a mo. And for you ? Nibbles ?

Oh, lucky you getting highlights. What colour ?

My hair's a bit at the moment.

Bristol should be Your daughter sounds a pretty clever girl You will be very proud of her.

Hiya

Hands not good - so had a rest

? : 's all gone

Fair highlights - I have fair wavy/curly hair, but it tends to get a bit mousy at the root end. They are natural looking highlights - always fancied a black or blonde streak, but never dared

Same thing, hair had got so had a trim too - it's a pain

Yep, I am SO proud of her - she has worked very, very hard & there have been alot of tears & frustration too. I kept reminding her that she is the first woman in our family to go to uni, never mind the doctorate . I am sure I will shed a few tears when she goes up to receive her certificate - not quite that bad!!

In past generations it wasn't the "thing" for women to go, even if they had the intelligence. My mother should have been a vet, but her father had to pay for his son's education, rather than his daughter, because he was "a male & would have a family to look after"

I was an all rounder & got diabetes just before going to grammer school, which rather mixed up everything. I had lost 2 years of schooling at junior school until they found what was wrong with me - we had a stupid doctor C'est la vie!

Anyway - lunch soon - another cold sandwich He's just knocked a big hole in the chimney breast - dust everywhere again - wish I could send through some photos

Don't worry about the (who's been greedy)

Your hair sounds gorgeous. Hope you don't mean one big black streak Can't imagine that. I keep thinking 'badger' Sorry !!!

It's so true what you say about girls education. And if money was tight, always the boys first !!! C'est la vie.

I can imagine your place. Does 'he' know what he's doing

So many of them don't

If I don't speak before you go to Bristol, safe journey and have a lovely couple of days with your daughter.

? Is it tiffin time ?

Just back from our Art Soc. meeting - Chairman wound me up, caretaker wound me up, refreshments lady wound me up - husband had the cheek when we going home to say "you shouldn't let them get to you"

This, I think, is my 12th year of being secretary - d'you reckon it's time I retired? If only I could find someone suitable to take it on

Just downed a with caffeine, followed by a large Baileys ... that's better. Ready for now!

Sure to speak at least once maybe

If not, Thursday probably!

Night night. Don't let the bs get you down.
