A Classic Blonde Moment….
Golf today was a write-off because we didn’t hear from our friends and Olivia was a bit disappointed. Oh well, I’m sure she’ll survive. 
We carried on with the goodie box and making things for my Mum and stepdad.
Then Olivia got in the bath. Which is where the ‘classic blonde moment’ comes in. 
She was sat there for at least half an hour, with the water running. I heard a pathetic wail, “Muuummm! Come here! There’s something wrong with the bath! Come here! It won’t fill up! COME HEEEERE!”
Eventually, I prised myself away from my book and had a look….
“Um….d’you want to try putting the plug in?”
I’m sorry, but after that, I lost possession of all rational thought as I tried (and failed dismally!) not to laugh at her….she was almost in tears….I felt bad….but still couldn’t control my giggles….I had to run away and hide behind a cushion….especially when she wailed again…. “I don’t want a bath anymore! I want to get out!!” 
You beastly mummy. Now that you’ve calmed down (you have haven’t you? You heartless woman) have you thought about the hot water wasted? I must admit that was my second thought. My first thought before I read beyond the third exclamation mark was that she’d found something in the water. Horror of horrors.
Rick’s having a bath tonight. No lush. Tesco value bubbly. With the plug in. And lots of dinosaurs.

Yes! I did think of the wasted water, but I couldn’t vocalise! She had Sainsbury’s cheap stuff, I had offered her some of my Lush….so glad that I didn’t now!!!

I was!
She’s forgiven me. Then I told her I’d blogged it, “MUUUMMM!!!”
But then I told her that Eleanor called me a beastly mummy, so she laughed and I was forgiven again! ‘Til the next time anyway!!
