Cod Widow's Diary Week 7

By: Chez Osborne
Date: 06/11/2000

Long-suffering Chez Osborne, wife of Nick, tells the tale of the week she has had to endure as a Cod Widow. Times can be hard and Nick stretches her patience to the full on occasions as his priorities in life differ widely from her expectations of them!

Diary of a Cod Widow

Mon 30th Oct

Nicko is off work poorly today so I have to look after the poor little lamb. He's been to the doctors and he doesnt know what's wrong with him. 'I'm in pain' he says. (Then stop bloody supporting the Mariners then I'm thinking.)

Tue 31st

Halloween today, the girls are full of it, and rightly so. Unfortunately, Nicko is still not very well so he isn't as enthusiastic as us. Me and the girls go out begging and leave him to die in peace.

OH, I nearly forgot,he went back to the docs and took a 'sample' with him. Not wanting it to leak allover and not wanting anyone to know he had it in his pocket he slips it to the nurse on the QT. Ten minutes later she walks into a packed waiting room and shouts out at the top of her voice 'Mr Osborne, I've done your sample and its ok'. I wished I was there, never seen sadman go as red as he said he did at the time. I think he wanted to crawl into a hole. Hahahahaha.

Wed 1st Nov

He's still poorly (and I'm getting a bit fed up with him moping around the place)However,he's not too poorly to go watch the reserves in action.Today's the last day he gets any sympathy off me.

Thu 2nd

Bit quiet today,even sadman doesnt push his look today.He's still not very well but after yesterday he darent push it too far.

Fri 3rd

Sadmans feeling a lot better today.Do I get any thanks for looking after him? Do I heck. The twat spends all day on the PC and the phone. Phoning his councillor to moan about the new stadium thingy. (Didn't even know we had a new stadium thingy)

Sat 4th It's matchday, we've had our orders. Sadman's a bit pissed off though. He can't get in the chat room cos his bruvver is here and he's using the PC. Shame isn't it, hehehehe. I see you lost 4-0, never mind I tell him, it's only a game.**** *** #>#<~*** was his reply. hehehehe. Not that I care, with him being ill all week it's given me plenty of time to catch up with our old friend Richard Gere.
