I found them....they're not that bad...what is it with maxis noses though, they always look like beaks. The granny is pretty fugly though
Sorry about these chapters...they are a bit rubbish really but i didn't know what else to do with them...oh i am so lame...this is what happens when you're not a real writer.

As I wander next door to pay a visit to my dearest friend April it occurs to me I haven’t seen her for over 6 months. Ever since she and Seth married they’ve barely been home long enough for us to share a chat over coffee. Globe trotting….they’ve become mad travelers.

They’ve not long been home from their latest trip and April called to let me know she’s home and come over for a coffee, she has news.



‘Hey Seth, long time no see, how are you? Is April inside?’
‘Good thanks Em, yeh she’s just making something to eat….again’
‘Again?’
‘You’ll see’
‘I see you’ve made a snowman, right in front of the steps, that’s handy’



‘Ariel! Hey girl’
I’ve been feeding the dogs while April and Seth have been away. It’s been good to spend some time with them. Although they’re right next door, with both mine and Aprils hectic lifestyles I don’t get to see them much and they’re getting very old now. It's a lie what they say about teaching old dogs new tricks though...with these two you can.



As I let myself in a neighbour follows me through the door. Seth had been chatting to him while I was giving Ariel some attention, and now of course he thinks he’s been given the all clear to come inside.

‘Oh my god! April!'



‘I told you I had some news’
I can’t believe it, you look like you’re ready to pop!’
‘hahaha, yes I know, it was quite a surprise myself…I hadn’t planned on having any children at this late stage in my life, we’ve always taken precautions Seth and I’
‘How do you feel about it now?’
‘Well to be honest I haven’t had too much time to think about it…I didn’t even know I was pregnant until my tummy popped out….i always wanted a child but I’m 40 now…I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little concerned’



‘Oh you’ll be fine; I’ve always thought you would make a great mother. Are you feeling ok?’
‘Sure, if you count sleeping 20 hours of the day and eating everything in sight, oh and let’s not forget the constant toilet breaks’
‘hahaha oh how I remember!’
‘Lets sit down, my feet are killing me…I can’t be on my feet more than 5 minutes or I feel like I might pass out’
‘You poor thing’



‘Please excuse the house, I just don’t have the energy and now that Seth is back at work and Toby moved out there’s no-one here to help. Look at that! The poor dogs need a bath so badly they’re sniffing eachother like crazy, you must think I’m useless at looking after them’

That's April...very prim and proper when it comes to things like cleanliness, hygiene, style...well, pretty much everything.



‘Don’t be ridiculous! I do understand these things…I went through it remember. Besides that’s what you have me for, I’m not working today I can help you clean up a bit’
‘no, I couldn’t ask’
‘You didn’t, I offered’
‘oh crap I need to pee again…..
….oh uh-oh’
