As reported earlier Mrs Nick has volunteered us to feed the neighbours' cats for the weekend, quite forgetting that we too are going away.
We are due at a party in London at 2.00 tomorrow. We must therefore leave just after 10. Fat fooking chance. I shall remain calm
She now tells me that she has agreed with our hosts that we shall take: duvets, pillows and A MATTRESS!
Packing SHOULD be minimal otherwise. We are arriving, going to bed (on our own mattress
) and then leaving. Waddya need? Change of pants and stuff, toothbrush, head brush, um, that's it. FAT FOOKING CHANCE
I predict:
1. Leave late with MAHOOSIVE amounts of luggage + mattress
2. Stop and come back for summat (e.g. shoes)
3. Leave again and then go shopping ('I have to take a present for X, Y or Z...')
4. Arrive at 5 to find party over
5. Try to get fooking mattress out of car (if we even get it in)
6. Get back in Bank HOliday traffic to find three dead cats and some irate neighbours
