So this brings us up to today. I was home today (Monday) as D had a hospital appointment. I have no interest in Bert, he is a nice guy but not my cup of tea, also much older than me and I am still working out where i go post mariage...
took D to school for the morning and came back expecting to see the van no the drive, no van = no builders/Bert? Took a chance, parked back on the drive.
Literally 15 minutes later, knock at the door. Bert. I need to move the car. Aces, move car.
20 minutes later, knock at the door. Bert. He is at a loose end as the others have gone to do something (I am sure he told me but was not really listening), so what the hell, in he came for a cup of tea ( I know, I am an idiot). Anyway, in he came, nice chat. Explained what a nightmare the bathroom window was, asked why I was at home, blah blah blah.
An HOUR later he leaves.....
Go to hospital, come back and D wants to know what the builders are doing (they have normally gone by the time she gets home), so walked her round the corner to see... Bert + pals all say hello. Run Away Phantom, run away.....
Around 2.45pm, knock on door. Bert. (I am dispensing with the alarms at this point cos I get it....), comes in, I make tea - there is a theme here. D comes to say hello and am in full mummy mode with her and trying to chat with Bert. Bert fixes my kitchen lights, so this is a positive I thought...
D goes off and comes back with her broken lamp and electronic hamster asking him to fix them as well...... lord....
Then D asks him to draw with her (she clearly took to him), this was odd enough. The two of them drawing at the kitchen table while I am emptying the dishwasher..... just go with it, I told myself....
So Bert asks D what they should draw - fish....ok, tree.....ok, house.....ok, you and me and mummy altogether........... pardon?
Honestly, could it be more awkward...... I just kind of stopped what I was doing, jaw hit the floor (tried to make a casual recovery but think I failed spectacularly)...... not then helped by Bert just looking at me, really grinning and saying "she has us paired off together already"....... shit. What to do...... shit shit shit.......arse.
I have a suspicion, he is old school and will now try and "woo" me in the proper fashion. Oh my life, what do I do now?
As is Tuesday tomorrow, will be working at home........damn it.....
