Aww thank you Sponge.
Well I just had an unexpected visitor pop around. Alfie. Marie's partner. He was gobsmacked about my hair, the colour of it and the shortness of it. Cos I'm wearing all black today he said I was a Greek lol, I was like "ahh ok." But he came around to see if I was "dead or alive". Marie's not too well. Blood pressure is going up and down for her which would explain why she's not picking up the phone, in bed I assume.
