Safaris, Supermarkets and sheets
Will’s got a day off next Thursday. As it’s half term, he wants to take George with him and their side of the family to a Safari.
Emma sounds irritated. But how can she say no? It’s more than she and Ed can offer.
On the flip side, Ed’s pondering whether to try and get night shifts stacking shelves at Tesco.
Emma reckons not.
They need the money, but neither Ed, nor their marriage, would survive it.
It does seem to be getting worse and worse for Ed and Emma.
They now can’t afford batteries for George’s toys (yikes! A child without toys to occupy them. *shudder*)
[Emma] “He can play with his pet guinea pig instead.”
(we seriously need to get that guinea pig out of there. She doesn’t sound at all appreciated)
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Emma’s found a Halloween party at the library, which is free (and hopefully fun). So, rather than compete with Will, she’s going to do the best with what she has to hand. Which means making George a costume.
[Emma] “I really need something to make that white sheet more interesting …”
Emma sticks stars to it.
But later on, she’s distraught at her creation.
[Emma] “Well if I can’t even make Georgie a Halloween costume, what use am I?”
She starts to panic.
They need oil before Christmas. Winter clothes for Keira. And then there’s Christmas.
To add to her woes, Will drops George back early, without feeding him.
AND Will’s bought George a wizard costume. It was only £6.99 …
AND:
[George] “Mummy, Nic’s food tastes nicer than yours. We had chicken today.”
Oh, goodness me.
I’m starting to really feel sorry for Emma. She is trying, more so than ever.
She bins the costume she’s made:
[Emma] “It’s rubbish. I’m rubbish.”
Ever more grim …
Topical insert: the clocks have changed
It fell to Emma to remind us this year that the clocks have changed:
[Emma] “I feel weird enough today with the clocks changing.”
Cheers Emma!
Will Naomi be a b*tch to Fallon?
Fallon seems to think so.
She thinks Naomi thinks (!) that her (Fallon) getting the job was a “stitch up”.
Well.
Naomi’s not too far off the mark.
Matt’s channelling Alf Garnett
Matt’s rather random bad behaviour continues.
He’s refusing to lift a finger to help James.
Now James may be a pain, but he is Lilian’s son, and he is genuinely hurt.
But no.
Matt won’t help cook (leaving Lilian to do it all). And he won’t check on James when Lilian’s out (so Lilian can’t go out very often). He justifies it by saying he never wanted kids in the first place:
[Matt] “That’s precisely why I never had one, far too demanding.”
And with that, he goes to the pub.
So, Lilian calls Paul to tell him how much of an arse Matt is being. Paul must be delighted to hear that their relationship is rapidly deteriorating.
[Paul] “Isn’t that what Alf Garnett used to say, ‘I’m going down the pub’?”
Only proper bangers for the big bangs
Jolene’s organising The Bull’s Bonfire night. She stresses to Tom that she wants his traditional sausages, not the spicy ones.
Seems only “proper” sausages will do.
Gies a bell
Lilian’s had to borrow the closing time bell from The Bull to give to James.
Does that means there’s no closing time?
