I thought I had made a really good friend when our children were at school together and we were quite close for a long time. Then she really let me down and I have not seen her for years.
Yesterday, we had DGS2 and DGD3 for the day and I met DD at the farm shop halfway between us to hand them back. On the way DGD was sick.
After I had handed them over, feeling and looking like the back end of a tram smash and probably smelling of sick, I went into the shop as usual to buy a few things and the first thing I saw was my exfriend, dressed up to the nines, hair beautifully done and definitely not smelling of sick, sipping tea with an equally elegant friend.
Why, just why?
