Meet Abi, my ex-flatmate!
Why a Web site?
|
This is Abi, my ex-flatmate, who I knew previously through working at TMP Worldwide. Despite
having worked with me for about a year she was obviously mad enough (some would say desperate) to invite me to share her
flat.
This involved a slight move from Brighton to sample the joys of 'saff' London and more specifically Streatham Common
where we could be found walking round the local Sainsburys on a Saturday (well, after we've got up).
Perhaps dreading the arrival of Spencer's dreaded music collection, Abi asserted herself as the Mistress of the house
by subjecting me and her boyf, Graeme, to The Muppet Christmas Carol on my first evening here. I got my own back
when my several car loads and one van load of stuff and furniture deposited an unknown quantity of boxes here which never
were fully explored/catalogued/unpacked by the time I left again.
One of Abi's major criticisms of me was that I failed to bring enough strange men home. 'Nuff said.
Me & my hubby!
Well, what can I say? We’ve been ‘together’ now for 8 weeks in marital bliss. It’s so handy having a hubby who’s never around,
doesn’t demand my services, and let’s me have a boyfriend!
Though he does have extremely dodgy taste in music - and lots of it! The video collection is going down now, due to his recent
purchase of the DVD player and the DVD’s are on the increase.
And then there’s his bedroom…….. with the pile of clothes that gets moved to the opposite side of the bed he’s sleeping on that
night, the extensive fire hazard underneath his desk and his secret supply of crisps and chocolate (though not that secret anymore).
And I’ve never met anyone with more toiletries in the bathroom than me……
If Spencer and Abi were to be a couple, then this would be our "child". Stella.
She's got a money-back guarantee to wake Abi up in
the early hours of the morning wanting to be let out/fed/stroked and to chew Spencer's computer cables while he's trying
to leave for work. One of her tricks was to "paw" the remaining Christmas chocolates from the bowl onto the
floor. Nice one Stella!
Our child
“My bloody parents. Never in at the same time. Did you know they have a chalkboard in the kitchen with
respective nights for babysitting! Babysitting indeed! I’m a fully-grown puss now. And a tough one at that!”
“Dad never mixes my biscuits in with my meaty chunks - so uncaring. Always picking me up and removing me
from his room (just wait till he finds that stash of moldy biscuits I’ve hidden under the bed.) And my mother,
never lets me play with the plants..one minute she wants me in her room the next minute I’m getting yelled
at for playing with the cotton wool buds and being thrown out…..”
It’s a wonder I was ever conceived……
Stella
