In Canada

Just so you don't go mad from missing me, I thought I would update you on how my trip has been going so far. I pre-booked seats on both my flight to Canada and my flight back. I told the lady at Globespan (the company I booked my flight with) that I need a little bit more room because I can't handle small places. I paid an additional 14 pounds and thought stupidly that I would get the seat I requested. I got on the plane and found that I was booked in the middle seat of the middle row. I freaked! I begged the lady next to me to switch and thanks to 6F (I was booked to 6E), I had a lovely flight (excluding the 5 month old in the seat behind me who screamed the whole way).

My old place is exactly as I left it 2 years ago. Mum didn't even change the date on the calendar in my room. It was like walking into Miss. Havisham's room without all the dust and wedding stuff. But it didn't seem to bother me all that much. After having traveled for more than 20 hours, I would have slept anywhere.

My mum didn't recognize me right away. She thought I was one of my brother's girlfriends for a brief moment. Then when she realized it was me, she automatically figured my husband and I has had a fight. My dad, on the other hand, said "Great! Another mouth to feed!" (jokingly, of course....I think).

Every chance my mum gets, she stuffs food down my mouth. I'm too thin for her liking. Two years ago, she was telling my husband not to buy me chocolate because I was too chubby, being a whole stone heavier. I can honestly say I will never understand my mum.

This message is for Rhub: To answer your question about the flight, please see above. And just so you don't go mental and kill all the smelly people at work on a mass rampage...you read too much and don't pay for lunch often enough. Hopefully that was enough of an insult to keep you sane. Keep posted for updated insults.
