Bank of Mum and Dad...

Very grey day today, drizzly and dripping. We were going to go out today for some fresh air, but one look at the weather and we dicided not to. Then the phone rang..our best daughter had been to the hospital for her injections+, and was on the way home on the bus, so rang us up. The injections are in her back and in between her shoulder blades. She said that she was held up because they have lost her notes, but they did them anyway.
I was telling her about the trolleys in the new hospital we went to on friday. All newly refurbished, and up to date, and the trolleys with the patient files were behind the receptionists, and labelled EYES in great big letters!!
Anyway, she is pennioless at the moment, has been off work because of the shoulder problem, and only on sickness benefit, so no money for her rent so she was tapping the bank of Mum and Dad.
So, we ended up going out anyway. We had to go to my bank in Formby because a checque wouldn't have cleared by the first when her rent is due. We drove round the car spaces about three times, no luck, into the car park at the back, no luck there so had to drive round that again as well. This is only a piddly little village , not a great big town either!! Anyway, got one at the second attempt, so went over to the bank. Got some out of the hole in the wall and gave a cheque also, so that should help her out. Can't say I was still expecting to bail her out at the age of 27..but hey there you go.
VT was getting a bit crabby with the driving and wouldn't go to Costa because there was a big crowd of kids outside..he mutters.."Where do they get the money for Costa Coffees from?" i said bank of Mum and Dad..which is where we came in!!
Tonight we are having:
Steak and mushroom pie
little roast potatoes 8oz
Mixed vegetables
Mushrrom gravy.
