Apologies in advance for treating this place like my old blogspot, but remember this from yesterday?
Yeah, that’s all out the window now. My silly old cunt of an old man has been arrested for drink-driving. Proper scumbag behaviour, that.
He was actually sober for around twenty years, but fell off the wagon sometime around my brother dying, which I can sort of understand. What I don’t understand however is silly bollocks promising my poor ma he’d pack it in, only to let her down again and again in the intervening eight years.
On the plus side, this has given her the kick up the arsehole about selling their gaff, paying off what’s left of the mortgage, and going their separate ways. She’s failed to pull the trigger on this for a while now for fear of starting again at her age (only fifty-eight mind, which is hardly ancient but I 100% understand where she’s coming from), but his drink-driving escapades today have made her mind up. She’s already made the call to her sister who works in the legal game to see what she has to do to get the ball rolling.
He left for work this morning with a black eye as my poor ma, absolutely fed up, gave him a dig when he arrived home from work last night stumbling around the place having drank a whole bottle of Captain Morgan’s.
Erm, we still up the ma’s on that?
