I was at school with my son Maxi when I realised that I had forgotten that the kids were going to forest school on this particular day. As I watched the other kids queuing up in their forest gear, I felt like a terrible mum for not dressing him appropriately. On the way back home, I saw a Chinese lady struggling to get her baby and pram into the car. "Can you help me?" She asked. "Of course!" I said, picking the sweetest little baby out of her carrier and accidentally dropping her. Luckily she didn't hit the floor, but she did hit her head on the car boot. "Oh crap! I'm a terrible person!" I thought. But the lady then invited me to see her home with all her Christmas decorations up. We did this rather unconventionally, by climbing into her car and simply looking through the window. I could see her entire house. It looked warm, Christmassy and inviting. "What a perfect little home!" I thought. Next scene; I was at the swimming pool with my mum and the boys. I had met my mum in the changing room. She was chewing a hard sweet but, as she was doing so, the noise was unbearable. I ignored it and comforted her when she began sobbing uncontrollably. "It's going to be okay!" I said. I then tried to locate the changing room, so I could get the boys dressed into their swimwear - but I was having great difficulty and so I had to 'regrudgingly' change in public in the end, whilst everyone looked on. Next scene; I was at home waiting for my mother in law to arrive. I kept fiddling around with a radio in my living room, putting on different mediation music, but every time I thought I could hear her coming, I'd quickly switch it off. "I don't want her judging me!" I thought. Next scene; I was at a house party with some friends. Laura was there (she was still pregnant) but yet, we were still collecting different bottles of alcohol from various places within the large house. We walked up a narrow flight of stairs to find the party had expanded and there we collected more booze for our consumption. Next scene; A red version of my car was on a forecourt for sell with lots of scratches and bumps on the exterior. I told the sells person "You'll never sell this car!" But he was absolutely adamant that he could. After sitting and waiting for awhile, we gave up and decided to go on a car journey with some others. Ashley (the barber) was there, along with his thug looking friends. To the side, there was an overweight 'alternative' looking girl holding an adorable grey frenchie puppy. "He's so cute!" I said to her. "Did you want to hold him?" She asked. "Yes please!" I said, grabbing the cute little puppy from her tubby arms. The car then transformed into the town I live in (but it looked as though it was set back in the 1900's!) I took the puppy to show Mat. "Look, at this puppy!" I beamed. The puppy kept licking inside my mouth and he replied "You'll need to brush your teeth, dogs are dirty!" Immediately after he said that, I felt dirty and like I needed to give the dog back. I looked around for the owner and found her in a bedroom, hinting "Oh, I am so tired. So so tired! I've been working so hard!" I handed the dog over and she said "you want to look after him some more?" I replied, "Oh, no thanks!" And edged myself out of the room. I then ran to the bathroom where I rinsed my mouth out with mouthwash. There was a pink phone resting on top of the mirror. I thought it belonged to me, but there was a message in the notification that was from Salem. "This must be Mat's phone!" I thought. Next scene; I had ordered the new Sims game for my daughter Phoebe, but after spending half my savings on it, the very first sims edition turned up, instead, with crappy graphics. "She's going to be so disappointed!" I sighed.
