The Back Up Plan

Blog 26 – The Back Up Plan …Ms Paige Turner tells an intentional fib on each blog. This bi-month you can win a free taster session at Creative Ink for Writers …

Mr Double Cream from Uxbridge, the term ‘bi-monthly’ can be every two months or twice a month. So that wasn’t the intentional fib last month and we are both right, Mr Double Cream and me more by luck than judgement. Which is why it’s always good to have a ‘back up plan’. It could have been the fib if I’d been wrong.
The intentional error was that Master Sound Advice is not our technical director on the ‘Dear John, Dear Anyone …’ film. The technical director is, of course, Master Brylcream – soon to be a married Mister. Just goes to show that none of the ‘Dear John’ production team read my blog.
But back to my self promotion. Creative Ink classes start up next week with one place going on each of the Tuesday (Get Inspired) and Thursday (Get that Book) courses and I’m at the Beaconsfield Library on Wednesday 12th October at 2.00pm talking about all those Creative Ink pursuits.
But mostly I’ve been pursuing decorators, kitchen fitters and Master Builder who turned up today with a smile to collect one of his cheques. If the decorators aren’t finished by next week 13 in Knotty Green, then we won’t be getting ‘floored’ and the Floors men will have to Karndean the bathroom and not the hallway. Plan B is so called for The Back Up Plan. Have you ever noticed how Plan B can sometimes turn out to be better than Plan A?
My life is bizarre. Last weekend I helped Miss Trial select a wedding dress at the Walthamstow Wedding Fair, auditioned four cats (by photo) for the ‘Dear John’ film (well done, Luke – sorry Ginger but remember The Back Up Plan – you are our understudy) and helped Mr Justin Case to choose patio slabs.
I love our decorators: I mean they’ve been part of the household for five weeks now. But I told them how happy I will be to see them go. We’ve had our communication problems. When the curtain poles were being discussed (do you have any idea how much curtain poles cost???) Mr Justin Case said, “These old poles are useless”.
Did we have some explaining to do to our delightful Polish decorators …
