she needs a good cheer up
i met my bestest friend in all the world when i was 12 and in senior school - we did all manner of stupid things together and we were often at each others house. at 13 we decided to become witches and i wanted to do alove spell becuase i was madly inlove with this boy and we got loads of witchy books from library and lit candles and stuff and said spells and small things like having a red canlde and knowing your true loves middle name were mere trivialities
she moved school in the third year as she moved house - miles away at least 2 buses. but amazingly we stayed in contact. my bestest friend had a parrot she loved him v. much and i loved being at her house becuase she had loads of brothers and sisters and i was an only child and she told me about pranks they would pullon april fools days and i wuz ded jealous becuase i couldnt really sew up the arms of my mums nightie or put cellophane over the bog.
i remember that i had started my period and was mortally embarrassed and flushed my pad at her house causing much bog blockage and there was huge who haaa and hushed talking too from her mum
i remember that in her house they had a choice of cereal and i wuz ded jealous becuase i never got cereal unless it was own brand cornflakes - i got toast - if i made it miself ( my nan had moved out and she previously did all things nice)
i remember we used to play all sorts of imaginary games
and we made up a routine to a-ha songs - which coincidentally scummymummy joined in with on pissed up night in oldham after xmas manc meet up in 2005? ( we also opened bottle of wine and drank in much common fashion on train - but scummy had a cork screw upon her person - who does that?)
anyway life carried on and we left school we each did shitty jobs - she worked for a private detective - i wuz ded jealous.
i got preggers at 16 and suddenly all my other mates from school fecked off and gues who was there for me.
she visited me after i ad my baby and bought me a small present for me. and looked on in 17 yr old bemusement as i broke down blubbin in much hormonal state.
she babysat for me and put the nappy on backwards. but she was always there for me
through marital things and ups and downs through kids being naughty and me having highly strung breakdowns - she was there.
and she had never judged ever.
so heres a nod to bestest friends
love ya rhubarb xxxx
