Spiders, roller skates and over-plucked eyebrows.

I was at Saleem's house (Mat's friend who I don't like very much) he was being his usual pompous self. I was sat in the middle of them, eating nibbles and watching tv. But when I reached for one of the various containers on the table, there were big spider-like creatures crawling around in it. "OH MY GOD!" I yelped, jumping out of my chair. "It's only a spider!" Saleem laughed. The guys then entered a debate about whether or not my hair was thin or thick. Mat pulled me closer to him on the sofa and I sensed that Saleem didn't like it one bit. I then got up to get some fresh air. Saleem lived on a top level apartment hundreds of feet of the ground. The balcony was pretty, but there was a big gap in the banister than the kids could easily fall out of. My boys kept running around the house and I kept warning them that they should go on the balcony. As I sat staring down, I could help but wonder what would happen if I jumped off. I would die, surely. Next scene; The boys had gone on a cruise without me. They enjoyed parts of it, but were incredible homesick in others. The captain was showing me on a 3D diagram when they were at their highs and lows. "I'm sorry it was so tough! I said. "They are home birds!" Next scene; I was in town with the boys, but for some reason, I had some roller skates on. I bumped into Phoebe and her friend and she was blatantly embarrassed. She made her excuses and walked on. I was then with my friend Ash. She had bought a massive bedstead and was lugging it around town with her. "Do you need a hand?" I asked. "NO, it's alright, Mand!" Next scene; I was half naked, trying on different outfits that I had bought. There was a white playsuit with a gold band that clinched in at the waist. I wanted to wear this, but I couldn't find my tights. My daughter walked in on me as I was half dressed and laughed. I was paranoid that she was going to take a snap chat video and send it to her friends, but I remained half naked and, instead, fussed over my makeup in the mirror. Next scene; I was in the passenger seat of car on the way to god knows where. In the mirror I saw that j had no make up. I looked horrendous, because it looked like I had plucked away at my eyebrows so much that they were none existent. I scrabbled through my make up bag, but to my horror, had forgotten my eyebrow pencil so I couldn't even fill them in. "What am I going to do?" I sighed.
