Friend came round last night, daughter (13) was at her dads so we shared a couple of bottles of wine and I’m definitely feeling the effects today.
Daughter came back at 9 am this morning. She’s been chilling, I’ve been chilling. House a bit of a riot. Living room curtains closed (daughter did this) I had a guy coming round at 2 pm today to fit fire alarms. So I was lying in bed and thought right I’ll get up at 1 pm and tidy and get presentable.
12 pm my daughter shouts up ‘mum the alarm guy is here’. Well I fly out of bed. Shouting ‘hold on hold on’ whilst trying to fling clothes on as I’m still in my nighty. Arghh the shame.
I rush to the door and of course, this man is very attractive. I’m like, ‘hi I thought we said 2?’ He was like ‘I was just in the area and wondered if you’re free, i tried to call’ so I say give me five minutes, he says no I can come back later we go back and forth like this for a minute. He agrees to wait in his car for five minutes.
So I am running about the house like a mad woman trying to tidy things away and opening the curtains and running about with no bra on.
I wave him in from the car. My hair is an absolute mess, last nights make up on. Could barely make eye contact with him. He looks visibly uncomfortable too due to me making the vibe so odd. He says so do you know how this works? I said ‘smoke alarms’?
I’m then like me and my daughter are just going to go up to my bedroom to keep the dogs in as they get quite anxious with visitors. However, half way through the job he came up to ask me about my old fire alarm. I opened the door slightly and one of the dogs got out who was being very friendly and licking his hand.
Afterwards when he was giving me the certificate I felt the heat rising in my face. Ugh this was just such an unfortunate event. What must he have been thinking?
Has anyone had similar?
