Angel
My mother describes our trip as an "adventure". That. Is. So. Last. Century. It should be buried with words like menopause and desperate.
I have an awful feeling my entire gap year is going to be like being on holiday with Joan Crawford.She has a "To Pack" list on the fridge with things like "parka", "walking shoes", "coat hangers". The thought of a parka makes me break out in spots. I never get spots. I am really worried about how I'll survive out in the open with her? At least here there are locks on the doors. She keeps going on about how much there is to organise before we leave. How hard can it be?
