Be It Ever So Humble There's No Place Like Home ... Sketch Saturday Challenge #196

Well, that's another week been and gone,  and you miss it!  Monday evening we (DH, Mum, Paula, DN = Darling Niece and her cousin) went to a Clairvoyant night.  OMG surprise, we only got a message from angel Dad.  Yes, we went being sceptics and basically just looking for a  laughing  ... which we did plenty of.  Firstly, with me falling through the door and laughing that hard and much that I , which consequently caused more laughter.  It did come out with some force though blushing.  There were some inappropriate jokes/comments that I wont repeat, which caused laughing and then finally my faux pas at the petrol station ... i'm such a loser.  Went to pay for petrol before filling up cos it was after 10.30pm and made a complete idiot of myself  raised eyebrows ... it was one of those occasions where you had to be there to appreciate it!  Tuesday = shopping and decorating.  Wednesday was a trip to the hospital with Mum for her results ... her lesion was definitely skin cancer  sad, but fortunately it had all been removed whew!they just want to keep a close eye on her.  Wednesday pm = decorating.  Thursday = crafting.  Friday = more decorating.  

So, in Faye style ....
