Pork I think. But that was yesterday.
Today I am treading on eggshells.

I haven't done anything wrong, in fact I have behaved in an exemplary fashion. But the 'rents had new sofas delivered today and the delivery men came early. The window was 09.00-12.00 and they called at 07.50 to say they were on their way.

Meh, the 'rents are old and hate a change to their routine. And Mum is ill - has lost half a stone (7lbs) in a week. So although they are happy that the delivery is here and assembled and all sorted, they are also grumpy and prone to complaining. Have helped shift things around and gave them back their change from last night and done some dusting.

Just have to remember not to take it personally. I'm a bit of a grumpy old woman myself these days, and I guess I would have been unsettled by a call an hour before I was expecting it too.

Shame, because I wanted to tell her all about last night in a real cosy mother-daughter chat thing, make it come alive for her. Still, my time will come. I'll find a relevant thread and tell y'all instead.
