On being thirty, but not *really*

[daibhidc]

When my birthday was announced on the pro-fun group recently, I commented that I didn't *feel* thirty; I still felt like a kid who wasn't fully prepared for the grown-up world. I also alluded to the fact that others seem to agree with me on this.

My mum's going away for a couple of weeks on a course. My gran and aunt have both said "But who's going to look after David?", to which Mum's responded that I lived in Edinburgh for a year when I was at Uni. (Technically, I was living with another aunt, but she was hardly there, and I did my own shopping and stuff. So it counts.) Despite this, she doesn't seem entirely convinced either, and is going to be stocking up on readymeals before she leaves. I'm not bothered by this; I expected it and to a certain extent they're right.

But when my five year old neice says "But, Granny, Uncle Davey can't make dinners!" I start to think it's getting ridiculous...

Surprise 'em all, and not only shop and cook for yourself, but... rearrange the furniture, and paint the walls (mischievous grin) :::Bwa-ha-ha!!:::

Okay, maybe you should skip the last bit. They'd likely never let you out of their sight again, if you did that...
