Mum called this morning to see how DS is (he has just come out of hospital)
when I said he was doing well she started talking about my carpet cleaner, how it worked and so on. Then she mentioned that it would be great if she could borrow it some time, then we got to "because the sitting room is being decorated it would be good to do it before the furniture goes back in"
Great, yes good idea
so Did I fancy a drive out to take it to her.
Uh, no, DS needs to be resting at home still, how about in a couple of days time,
No it has to be today or never because she is going away tomorrow and when she comes back she can't have another day with the house in such a mess..
Oh well, maybe another time,
no it won't be another time will it because once the furniture is back in she won't be moving it again - am I sure I won't get in the car and drive it to her (40 minute journey each way)
So she went off the phone in a strop.
Am now sitting here feeling guilty, I don't suppose it would hurt DS to be in the car, I guess her lack of flexibility just made me cross.
