I found Eliza Wright trying to make friends with the internet.
“Are you affected by council strikes?”
I had somehow missed the fact that the strikes were today. I had to do some shopping, and wondered why there were so many famillies around, including one in which I knew the father was a teacher. My last call was to drop something in at the town hall, and I tried several times to phone ahead and tell the person I was dropping it off with, but there was no answer. It wasnt til I arrived and saw the strike notice, and realised reception was poorly staffed that I realised!!

Hahaha! Brilliant! Tell us that one about the time the bus was nearly 3 minutes late!
“At what age can children safely be left home alone?”
it depends not only on the child, but on the culture you happen to be living in. In many tribal communities, the 7 and 8 year old girls look after the babies whilst their fathers hunt and their mothers grow crops.

Will you be my “Phone-A-Friend” if I go on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”?
Is Eliza one of those left-alone 8 year olds she mentions? Possibly she’s been Locked in a cellar by her Dad all her life watching Discovery.
This morning I parked my car and got half way to the office and stopped to check if I had my access card, but couldn’t find it. then I went back to the car, but it wasn’t there. So I had to get a visitor pass and then when I sat down I found the pass in my bag all along!
crazy times.
Tribal communities? Like Worthing?
and realised reception was poorly staffed that I realised!!
She actually meant to end this pile of drivel with an exciting conclusion;
….and realised reception was poorly staffed that I realised!! That I’d had a large angry stoat stuffed up my knickers the whole day and no wonder everyone had been staring at me!!
Does Eliza live in Trumpton?
Seriously, when was the last time you ever heard anyone saying they had to ‘drop something in at the town hall’.
Frankly i’m amazed she didn’t say that she had to pay her taxes to the squire by delivering 7 bushels of corn to the tithe barn.

Oh come on, you know what it was!
It was a strongly worded letter to the Head of Town Planning asking him to “gentrify” the area by moving undesirables on.
I think Eliza is Hyacinth Bucket. Either that or a polar bears pee pee.
How bizarre - something similar happened to me a few weeks ago… I was on my way to work , but when I got to the train station and went to pull out my rail pass it wasn’t there. I searched my wallet and pockets and even checked my bag. I had to go home and search for it - I’d left it in my trousers from the night before so had to get them out the wash basket(lucky I hadn’t loaded and run the washing machine). I missed my train and was late for work, but luckily I rang ahead and told them so I wasn’t in any trouble.
Spooky coincidence eh!
Mr Cat
Woah, stop it now you’re starting to freak me out.
Only last week I was on my way to the train station for a weekend away when I remembered I’d left my 3 year old alone in the flat. Luckily I got back in time to lock the child gate in the kitchen door and check there was plenty crisps and coke for him to eat before managing to head off and catch the train.
I feel there’s a greater plan at work here bringing us together.
Eeek! That’s just Uri-Geller-tastically Freaky!
Cos, right, I’ve just discovered, today, that I’ve been using a ‘visitor’s pass’ from nearly two weeks and that my pass has been in the drawer with the other visitor’s passes… cos I handed the wrong one in two weeks ago and… NOBODY NOTICED A THING!!! I’m telling EVERYONE and they can’t believe it either!
that is MENTAL!! Statistically speaking (and I know nothing about statistics) that level of “so called” coincidence is actually impossible. When are people going to sit up and take notice of this MADNESS???
I’m trying so hard to think of another mental health reference I can capitalise it’s driving me INSANE!!!!
I also get the train to work, sometimes! The amount of uncanny coincidences here has me literally LICKING THE WINDOW!!!
somebody call Derek Acorrah - this is starting to freak me out.
I just love the fact the notice telling her they were all on strike wasn’t quite enough; she had to see the porely staffed reception before she twigged it.
Can I just say that when I read this yesterday I thought you were all daft. But then this morning, when I got to work, the key for the barrier wasn’t in its usual place! I spent ages looking for the key before a very attractive lady that I’d like to boff some day let me in with hers. But then, there it was, on the seat!
This has never happened to me before - it’s BEDLAM IN MY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She sounds like she’d have amazing cakes if you went to her house for tea, though.
I reckon she goes to the town hall to use the toilets there.Because they are far the nicest in town.And then she has a scat seesion with her friend there in a cubicle.
