They have said I am being picked up on Sunday but maybe they are only saying that. What if I\u2019m not? What if now they are married they don\u2019t love me anymore? I can\u2019t ring them again either, I have run out of credit on my phone and until they get back I can\u2019t go and top it up. They can still ring me, but I don\u2019t suppose they will bother. I did try ringing the number I have got for topping up the phone with more credit but the woman explained to me that I would need a credit card to do it. I said I know the number of my mistress\u2019s credit card but apparently that isn\u2019t OK and I am not supposed to use it without her permission but I really am sure she wouldn\u2019t mind. I\u2019ve memorised all her security questions so I know all the right answers but apparently that would be something called \u2018fraud\u2019 and it is not good to do it. I had better stop ordering books on the internet with it before she realises it\u2019s me. My mistress did say that if I had read the document she had issued with all the details of who has to be where and when, I would have known that I would be collected on Sunday but whey should I read it, the master didn\u2019t. When I said that to my mistress she got a bit cross and said she makes all that effort so that everyone knows what is happening and no one appreciates it. I have a feeling she may not just be talking about me!<\/p>\n<p>On a brighter note my mistress was laughing about the things that happen when you travel in England in a car with foreign number plates. There she was sitting in her car reading a book in a park, with the roof down, when a bloke came to talk to her about her car and started by very slowly and clearly saying \u201c Excuse _ me _. Do _ you _ speak _ English?\u201d She was tempted to reply in Flemish to say she didn\u2019t understand but was, for once, far too polite and laughed and said she was English. In the end this chap wouldn\u2019t go away and she really wished she had gone with the Flemish option.<\/p>\n<p>I tried going to the sales in an attempt to cheer myself up but game back having bought nothing and concluding that sales are nothing short of fraud. You see big posters in the windows saying things like \u2018up to 70% off\u2019 with the \u2018up to\u2019 in little letters and the 70 in very big ones. When you look round there are a few things that no one would want to buy for large discounts and then everything that is really nice is close to full price.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>You don\u2019t suppose they have left me do you?
