She is staying for a few days because she will be looking after dd and ds over the weekend whilst we attend a wedding.
Last night after I had drunk two bottles of budweiser, she said with her customary Yorkshire directness:
"You haven't been drinking those have you - first sign of alcoholism that; needing a drink every day"
So this evening with a certain amount of stealth, I put a bottle of wine in the fridge to chill, and after about an hour really fancied a glass, so I have smuggled it from the kitchen, past the living room (where mum was watching 'The Bill' or other such high brow stuff - bless 'er) in the laundry basket - cunning disguise eh?
However haven't got any wine glasses up here in the spare bedroom, so have had to decant some wine into an empty coke can - as somehow that appeared more appropriate than swigging direct from the bottle.
Not having a go about my mum - she's a love (although says the wrong thing sometimes), but am now wondering if I am a total lush
