Its about 5.50pm when i arrive home after work, straight into the fridge to see what i can magic up for tea!
Its like bees around a hunny pot when i come home and open the fridge.
My kids come out from their hidey holes!
"What for tea?"
"I'm starving" (Like he hasn't had any food all day, forgetting the biscuit, bananna and apple munched less than 15mins ago!!)
Things are always hectic around tea time...... Now I have a full blown paddy from the smallest member of the team.........
Its like the Waltons but only smaller!!
Well 10 mins later hubby walks through the door................. "Whats for tea?" "I'm starving?"
Well now i know where the kids get it from!!!!!!!!!!!
About forty five mins later the kiev(totally homemade!!) is ready.........
"we have to be at school for a meeting at 7.00pm" came a voice from the other end of the kitchen.
Sure enough its 6.55pm!
Well the kiev is abandonned and the sound of munching and crunching is far behind as my child and i stomp to school!
25 mins later we are stomping back home!
It was nothing that couldn't have been handed out on a piece of paper and brought home!
Well i suppose it saves all the mud, drink and other un-mentionables attaching themselves to the same piece of paper before it gets home!!!!
With my tummy rumbling and the thought of supper as soon as i walk thorough the door.......
Just as i dish my remaining cauliflower on to my plate and start to preceed towards the table.................
The ambulance phone goes..................
ITS THE KIEV!!!!!!!!!!
Its a chest pains call
I phone control (they may stand me down!! They might have another responder attending...)
YES please comes the reply from down the phone.........
I jump in the car and luckily for me the address isn't very far away.
Finding the place proves more difficult............
Just as I turn around and work my way back down the street the crew arrives.
I jump out and offer assistance but they stand me down (don't require my assistance)
So its back to my Kiev..............
Back in my warm kitchen i retrieve the kiev from the oven and this time i get to sit at the kitchen table, the kids long gone, probably retired to their rooms, the littlest member is watching a bedtime program on tv.
I have just reached for the cultery and the phone goes again...........................
..............IT REALLY IS THE KIEV..................................................
I phone control to ask if they require me to attend, after much delibaration they decide that the call is a cat B, and not to despatch me as a RRV (Rapid Response Vehicle)is very closeby.
I rescued the Kiev from the oven,
It looks very dry and sad!
But do i care?
No!!
I eat it anyway..............
before the phone goes again!
But it doesn't! Not one message! so its time for me to hit the wooden hill and slide down sheet lane.........
If there are any ambulance personnel reading this..... How do you manage to grab a bite to eat? I know you can arrange a break with control but even then you might not get a bit to eat?

it is a well known fact that the kettle is linked to the activation phone!
I have heard that too Mart!
It is a conspiracy! The theory has been discussed at my blog too. Nice to see it's a nationwide occurrence though, albeit a sad one! I also find that logging on to read my service email makes the phone ring too! Keep up the blogging!
