What's that saying.. oh yes, 'No good deed goes unpunished', well, she certainly thinks that about this woman whom we won't name but oh, what a pain in the arse she is.
She's pulled and it must have taken some effort, the blinds down in the spare bedroom of a house that belongs to a friend of ours.
She called to say the blinds are faulty, please would you come and have a look and see what needs to be done as the cord is broken, so mama went last week with new cord to fix them.
Only to find that there was nothing the matter with the cord, the entire fitting of the new Roman blind was lying on the floor as the top section had been wrenched off the wall and the screws were out of the rawl plugs! What a mess.
She explained that she needed tools to mend the damage and a pair of steps, that she would return when it was convenient for the woman.
A time was fixed for today at 11am, mama took her tool box and a pair of steps and went up the road and banged on the door at 11am.
To receive no answer, the neighbour said that the woman had gone out at about 10.45am with her dog for a walk in Hyde Park.
So she left a note through the door saying that she had been there at the appointed time and waited for 15 minutes and told the woman to call the blind company who supplied and fitted the blind as she wasn't going to come back again.
She dragged the steps home, gave me a kiss and a cuddle, a fat slice of tangerine and went off to meet a friend in Ealing Broadway at 1pm.
Goodness me, what a busy place! They had a coffee, discussed what they had to talk about and then she came home.
We were supposed to go out to tea with friends but I played hard to get or rather would not step onto her hand, so she said "Bye, I'm off to tea without you, you regret this when you see me go up the stairs and you're left at home alone again" and blow me down, she did too, she went off to tea without me!
And said I had played the silly 'you can't catch me' game (which drives her mental sometimes). I was all over her when she came back and said I was sorry.. hmmm, she said.
Whoops, one blotted copybook, I fear.
Moving swiftly along, we are off on a jaunt with Dean tomorrow to B&Q for fence supports and other stuff for the allotments. She's figured out how the thieves are getting onto the plots, they're coming over the small fence that is the boundary between Brian's and our plots.
She saw him on Sunday and asked if he would help her mend the fence, so they're doing it on Saturday, let's hope it's as sunny a day as it was today.
And that Hilary's, the blinds company, charge that rude woman a fat fee.
Good night to you all.. we've got to go for we need our beauty sleep.
GeeGee Parrot.
