Friday Sketchers #55 and Family

Thank goodness the weekend is nearly here and this week is at its end! These past few weeks have been horrible with this week just about sending me over the edge! How long have you got for this story? I'll try and keep it short ... Ellie's had a little trouble with an accusation of damaging the neighbours car, i wont say anymore at this time cos its on going and the police are involved, but someone's gonna look pretty stupid at the end of it! Due to this occurance we have been making sure that the CCTV we have fitted is constantly recording instead of just recording at night which is what we normally do. Aren't I glad we did ... Tuesday morning when i got out of the car at Morrisons for my weekly shop, i noticed blue paint on my car ... which isn't odd cos our car is blue lol! But this was different shade. I knew that i hadn't hit anything on my travels, so i phoned Ellie and asked her to check the DVD recording from Monday night/Tuesday morning. She phoned me back about an hour later and told me that the bus had hit the car that morning. So, ours is in for repair at the minute.To top everything off my darling neice and nephew (18 and 17) are being little angels .... NOT! Beth passed her driving test last Friday and we've not seen her since. She's been out driving round till 11pm, comes in, goes to bed and then off out to work the next morning, with a grunt as she leaves! Declan, bless him ... has decided to top his phone up with £180 on his Mum's debit card! Unfortunately for my sister, she's now had to cancel her card as O2 refuse to cancel the card off his account without first speaking to him and the bank are reluctant to take it further as its her son. Has the world gone mad?!!! My sister is a lone parent, so i tend to be her whipping post and an ear to chew. Oh what fun we're all having!

Phew ... and after all that i have finally switched my lappy on this morning and made a card. I think it was beginning to feel a little rejected. But to be honest, I just haven't been bothered! Ohhh ... i should just add that Big Brother has started and if i get addicted you wont be seeing much of me!
