No...this isent going to be some sad attempt at one my my silly sci-fi stories but this is the only way that I can describe what happened to me today!!

Firstly let me explain about my chill room...its not a cold room or anything, its just a place with a comfy Futon to "chill" and read a book or somthing as its nice and quiet. This room was actually my old office when I was a homeworking travel advisor, but I got sick and tired of answering my phone just to hear someone say "which part of India are you from?" This is the culture of call-centres!! At the time I was working for Teletext Holidays and most clients were convinced I was a call centre in India...now I can be a patient person but one day I got so annoyed I yelled down the phone "Do I bloody well sound Indian!!!!!!!" and slammed the phone down!! Needless to say I dident work for them for very long. Anyway with all my office equipment removed by the teletext people after I threw in the towel, my old office "regenerated" into my chill room, infact a 4th bedroom with futon to chill out and relax. Recently, however, I have been very busy and my chill room has degenerated into my laundry room which also includes my sewing machine and various craft project. Several days ago I knoticed a horrible smell in there and could not for the life of me figure out what it was. My laundry doesnt smell that bad, because I bath everynight! Well today I decided to give it a bit of a tidy up and was absolutly horrified when I moved a table from near a radiator under the window, only to find massive fronds (like alien fingers) growing about 8 inches high, buried in my carpet!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually jumped back with shock, as part of my brain was saying "fungas" and the other half was saying "alien hands growing out of my carpet!!!!! Holding my nose because of the smell, and calming my nerves I had a closer inspection and it turned out to be caused by a nasty leaking radiator!!....warm water was seeping from the radiator and onto my thick piled carpet and the fungas bugs must have thought "hay!!!! Party time!!!" and grew like wild fire into these weird and very spooky shapes. So not only do I have a leaking radiator, but I had to scrape up the horrid stuff with a knife onto a sheet of cardboard!
Later I phoned Derek and asked him to pop into Tesco for my white port and a huge bottle of disinfectant!!
"what do you want the disenfectant for?" he asked, stupidly
"Well I realy fancy a drop of disenfectant with my port tonight!!!" I replied in my most sarcastic voice!
I was quite annoyed at the time as I had to walk Sirius, make a spag bol for dinner, sort my washing, learn my obligation lines...while ballancing a tea tray on my head and singing "Do wah diddy!" (last bit just sarcastic realy)
Anyway we now have to get someone in to fix or replace the leaky radiator (more expence!!!) or I could end up with my very own muchroom farm!!

Good grief!!! what a day....I am REALY looking forward to that Port tonight!
