I'll do... the washing up," he grinned "you go pretty yourself up a little mum. You know, some make-up and perfume and stuff."I can't say that I was surprised at his request to 'pretty' myself up, it was a reprieve of sorts and one I was glad to take advantage of.

I came downstairs to see my mother in her best Christmas outfit, a greensparkly dress that always reminded me of a Christmas tree, hurriedlymaking a meal for her dog."I'm glad you got up before I left. Your aunt Terry called, and wants meto come over for a Christmas dinner tonight. Will you be okay alone?" Yeah. I'm working out at the construction site tonight, I've writtendown the address and phone there in case you need it." The construction site again? You were supposed to rotate to doing.
