Well, today was an interesting day food-wise. My mum was working yesterday, one of her really long shifts that goes from 11.30am to 11.30pm, so she couldn't do a big roast obviously. Instead she...completely forgot to get me and dad anything to eat when she went shopping. She says because she wasn't planning to eat any big meals while at work, she just sort of thought me and dad wouldn't need any either. So while we were at Cannon Hall Farm we had to pick something up from their farm shop - happily they did a few microwave meals, including homemade moussaka, so we had those. And then she forgot that she actually would want to do a roast sometime over the weekend, and didn't buy any lamb. But she still decided she wanted to a roast today, so her and dad had to go out this morning to buy some. But we always have a sort of tradition of having a chinese takeaway on Bank Holiday Mondays, which mum figured we'd be doing - and then decided we should still do even after she decided she'd make a roast. So for a while it looked like our meals today would be 1) big roast and vegetables for lunch, 2) chinese takeaway for dinner. Plus we still had my birthday cake and easter chocolate to get through. I'll be honest, I found it a bit daunting. But then shortly after we had lunch, mum decided we maybe shouldn't have a chinese takeaway tonight, and we should maybe wait till later in the week. So now that's pencilled in for Friday. I don't know if she's remembered we're meant to be going and having a pub lunch on Sunday, as it's the week after she's gotten paid (another tradition of ours). I don't know, given all of this, whether that would put her off the idea or not. I don't know. I'll just have to wait and see what happens when she realises, or...see what food crosses the table, I guess.

Also, my dad finally ordered me a new mattress today, after months of me talking about it and my parents swearing they'd pay for it. I won't have to sleep on a crunchy bed for very much longer!
