NO CHIPS??? By Bessie

On Friday Mummy finally had her first day off all month so her and Tom went to Cwmbran to get him a new phone as his is broke and Mummy cancelled his contract.    They found a good deal in the EE shop so they signed up and got the phone then went to buy shoes in the sale in Primark.   Mummy got a pair of boots for £5 and shoes for £4 so she was happy.  Then they went to Asda to buy a bag of salad for tea but after carrying it round all day remembered Daddy was taking them out for tea so she needn't have bothered.

On Friday night my humans went to the Beefeater for tea on account of Daddy having a half price voucher and fancying a meal out (aka being bored of eating things out of the slowcooker I bet).    When the man sat them down at the same table they always sit in even though Mummy was muttering please don't sit us at that table, he said "Just to let you know we have no fillet steak, grilled salmon or fish and chips."   Daddy wasn't listening properly though and went "NO CHIPS??"    So the man sighed and bent right into Daddy's face and said it all again, very slowly and very loudly.    Everyone else was trying not to laugh so hard they couldn't tell him what they wanted to drink for choking.  Mummy said they were all going to get their drinks spat in now and it was Daddy's fault.

Then the waitress came and they all ordered and ONE WHOLE HOUR later the food arrived but the air conditioning had been turned on about ten minutes before and the place was absolutely freezing, especially for my humans as the air con unit was directly over the table.  They all put their coats back on and Daddy asked the waitress to turn it off.  She said someone on the other side of the room complained it was too hot so she would wait a few minutes then turn it off again.

Anyway, she did and it was all nice and cosy but then ten minutes later it went back on again so they just gave up and ate their food with their coats on.   But other than that it was nice even if Daddy did complain that his portion was too small.  He said it wasn't far that Tom's chicken linguine was a bigger portion than his chicken and chips but Tom said they were completely different types of food so how could the portion sizes be the same but Daddy said they should all weigh the same.   Mummy said they should all shut up and look at her dinner.  It was served on a chopping board.  She said it looked like something Jamie Oliver had dished up and how was she supposed to eat her dinner off a chopping board.   Daddy said serving food on a chopping board is unhygienic.

On Saturday Mummy, Daddy and Katie went to Ikea on a so called pricing exercise.  Next job on the house is the pantry so they found some nice shelving and measured up and decided what they need.   Mummy almost managed to leave Ikea without buying anything.  She made it past the candles, the picture frames, the cushions, even the potted plants but then couldn't resist a hot dog.  

Then they had the bag of salad for tea that Mummy had carried all round Cwmbran in her handbag.

Today we have had a nice lazy day.  On Tuesday we are going to the vet to have our vaccinations and our nails cut.  I broke a toenail jumping on the bed on Friday.  It hurted.
