guilt!

Oh no! It's my mil's birthday today. And Axel stopped in to see her on the way home - and she sent me home a present! On her birthday! Because I made a cake for her!

Agh! She bought me oven gloves - nice red ones with poppies on - because I'd complained a while ago that I needed them (mine are about ten years old and let the hot in) and about how crappy it was that I see buying new oven gloves as a luxury. And the worst thing is, I bought myself a top the other day, for €40, despite the fact that I have no money and if I was buying anything for anyone, it should have been a birthday present for HER. And now she's bought me a present on her birthday! Ohhh, I may go to hell for this!

Jo-you are blessed with super yoinking powers and you possess a mouth that speaks the truth always. You truly deserve a 40 euro top and be-poppied oven gloves. Conquer Achill and have a great time. I'm actualising great weather for you. Feel, FEel,, FEEl, FEEL the heat of the sun!

it's a gift, relax! enjoy! you didn't ASK for gloves, in so many words, you just got them. enjoy the island, it's warm and windy and sunny here, you'll have a great time!

plus, you'll wear that 40€ top a lot, because i bet it's gorgeous, and it'll last more washes than 4 10€ tops. that approach works for me!

Eh??? If you think that's going to get you to hell, I think you'll probably be let into the pearly gates.

You really should stop feeling guilty about everything, no need for it.

Also thanks for changing the colour of the site, pink was a bit much as I did look like I was either a raving homosexual or visting porn sites. and then i checked your blog. bdum tish. ok better sober up for a bit... moist.
