The "Olive" clone

After a busy day shopping , cleaning, washing and collecting kids from school I had to go to a meeting tonight at the local theatre for all the parents who have agreed to be chaperones at this years panto.

I actually thought that I had met some strange people in my time but tonight I met a clone of "Olive from the cult programme On the Buses!!". She was the spitting image of her and I couldn't stop staring. I started to drift off into a bit of a day dream and remembered the part of the film when Olive was expecting and "Arfur" put her in the side car to his motorbike enroute to the hospital! I also seem to remember that she had pickled onion craving.

She was a really miserable woman - God help the kids who get her!! Luckily on the rota I only get to "work" with her once.

I got home to find that Georgie had made some Angel decorations at Brownies - really lovely except one of the is minus her wings as they flew across the car park in the wind when Malc picked her up. She was a little bit upset but hopefully we can replace them fairly easily.The Brownie leaders are so creative- every week she brings home some really nice things and very inventive.

Any way another really busy day tomorrow and a hectic weekend to follow. This week is flying by and there's still so much to do !
