Scrimper and Snooper

THEY ARE HERE FOR A WEEK. 
*Going insane*


The grandparents. WILL NOT GO. Even the cleaner can't stand them either - they had a row the other day, to my amusement. Sure enough though, I'd be pretty pissed off if I turned up to find someone had already done my job... by THEIR way, and were insistent that I follow their instructions. Jeeze. Then this morning, the grand-dad had the AUDACITY to have a go at me because 'apparently' I'd been told three times not to pour water down the sink, and to use the washing up bowl (the pipes leak... into ANOTHER washing bowl underneath the sink, so it's not as if it was the end of the world!). I mean, we managed perfectly fine without them and their stupid washing bowls. And I haven't been told 'three times'; I was barked at in French just the one time. 


A week. ONE WEEEEEEEK. *Paddy tantrum on the floor* They are driving me MENTAL. They even prepare all the vegetables for tea by 11am! All the carrots chopped and washed in the designated saucepan. ARGH! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!! I can't DO anything whilst they're here! I feel trapped in my room, whilst they prowl around downstairs. They're a complete pair of MEDDLING MATTY'S. 


I managed to escape from the house for most of Sunday - meeting up with some friends of my Granny, and who I knew when I was little. It was nice to talk a) English and b) about NORMAL things. It was wonderful to see you Kate and Brian! :D

 

Also, we've got SNOW! :) It is quite bitterly cold outside - the house is still a sauna, but temperatures were down to -4oC this morning. And... lacking on sleep: Sunday evening I went to bed with one of the house phones in my room. I usually put it on the landing (OUTSIDE my room) ever since the stranger-in-the-night episode, but this time I was tired and thought 'Ahh, no one will call in the night. Who would be so stupid?' Well yes, who WOULD be so stupid and SELFISH to call at 3.30 AM??? I was half asleep so didn't pick it up, but was ready to throw it out of the window. THREE THIRTY! And no one else bothered to pick it up. Fortunately they didn't re-ring, so I got back to sleep, but OH MY LORD!
