Dismiss the bugler, that wasn’t the last post

Ok I lied it wasn’t my last post for a while. After I posted that my mum rang, I’d said a while ago that she must come to dinner some time so she was basically ringing to take me up on my offer. I put her off until the weekend, so naturally she wanted to know what I was doing all week. Vague as ever I just said there were a few things I was working on. She tried to quiz me further but I changed the subject. I had thought about ringing her just to say don’t come round for a few days, with various ideas for reasons why I would say something so strange, but decided just to hope for the best and hide upstairs if she did come round. Once you tell one lie, it opens up a can of worms, and would certainly leave me open to more interrogation. So hopefully we’ll be safe from at least her turning up unexpectedly, though it’s still a possibility, her curiosity might just get the better of her and she’ll come just to see what it is that I’m "working on", but I doubt it.

Anyway all this shows that it’s getting more and more difficult to hide my lifestyle from her. I have not made an absolute decision to tell her when she comes at the weekend, I shall just see how it feels, but I think it’s more than likely, it’s about bloody time after all. Cerys, you know what this means?!

Cerys and Shan have been most helpful in talking this through with me, thanks girls. I really would appreciate any other thoughts or suggestions on the subject from anyone else who has been through this. I’m still a bit stuck on the exact words to use, but I guess there is no magic sentence, it’s going to need some discussion to make her understand. The main thing is that I am happy, and I know she will appreciate that.

In the meantime I have something to occupy my mind, important things to discuss such as how do rocket scientists describe something that is not rocket science (see Pippa’s blog!)

Must get on, lots to do, including making myself beautiful, which could take some time. I’ll keep you all posted, by for now.
