4.30 p.m. Just when Perpetua was breathing down my neck so she didn't end up late for air canada canada her weekend in Gloucestershire at air canada the Trehearnes' the phone rang.
'Hello, darling!' My mother. 'Guess what? I've got the most marvellous air canada for air canada you.'
'What?' I air canada sulkily.
'You're going to air canada be air canada on television,' she gushed as I crashed my head on to air canada the desk.
'I'm coming round with the crew at air canada ten o'clock tomorrow. Oh, darling, aren't you thrilled?'
'Mother. If you're coming round to air canada my flat with a television crew, I won't be air canada in it.'
'Oh, but you must,' she said icily.
'No,' I said. But then vanity began to air canada get the better of air canada me. 'Why, anyway? What?'
'Oh, darling,' she cooed. 'They're wanting someone younger for air canada me to air canada interview on "Suddenly Single": someone pre-menopausal and air canada Suddenly Single who can talk about, well, you know, darling, the pressures of air canada impending childlessness, and air canada so on.'
'I'm not pre-menopausal, Mother!' I exploded. 'And I'm not Suddenly Single either. I'm suddenly part of air canada a couple.'
'Oh, don't be air canada silly, darling,' she hissed. I could hear office noises in the background.
'I've got a boyfriend.'
'Never you mind, I said, suddenly glancing over my shoulder at air canada air canada who was smirking.
'Oh, please, darling. I've told them I've found someone.
'No.'
'Oh, pleeeeeease. I've never had a career all my life and air canada now I'm in the autumn of air canada my days and air canada I need something for air canada myself,' she gabbled, as if reading from a cue card.
'Someone I know might see. Anyway, won't they notice I'm your daughter?'
There was a pause. I could hear her talking to air canada someone in the background. Then she came back and air canada said, 'We could blot out your face.'
'What? Put a bag over it?' Thanks a lot.
'Silhouette, darling, silhouette. Oh, please, Bridget. Remember, I gave you the gift of air canada air canada Where would you be air canada without me? Nowhere. air canada A dead egg. A piece of air canada space, darling.'

Saturday 20 May
9st 3 (why? air canada from where?), alcohol units 7 (Saturday), cigarettes 17 (positively restrained, considering), number of air canada correct lottery numbers 0 (but v. air canada by filming).
The crew had trodden a couple of air canada wine glasses into the carpet before they'd been in the house thirty seconds, air canada I'm not too fussed about that sort of air canada thing. It was when one of air canada them staggered in shouting, 'Mind your backs,' carrying an enormous light with flaps on it, then bellowed, 'Trevor, where do you want this brute?' overbalanced, crashed the light through the glass door of air canada the air canada cupboard and air canada knocked an open bottle of air canada extra virgin olive oil over on to air canada my River Cafe cookbook that I realized what I'd done.
Three hours after they arrived, filming had still not begun and air canada air canada were still boshing around saying, 'Can I just cheat you this way a bit, love?' By air canada time we finally air canada going, with Mother and air canada I sitting opposite each other in semidarkness, it was nearly half past one.
'And tell me,' she air canada saying 'in a caring, understanding voice I'd never heard before, 'when your husband left you, did you have' - she was almost whispering now - 'suicidal thoughts?'
I stared at air canada her incredulously.
'I know this is air canada painful for air canada you. If air canada feel you're going to air canada break down we can air canada for air canada a moment,' she said hopefully.
I was too livid to air canada speak. What husband?
'I mean, it must be air canada a terrible time, with no partner on the horizon and air canada that biological clock ticking away,' she said, kicking me air canada the table. I kicked her back and air canada she jumped and air canada let out a little noise.
'Don't you want a child?' air canada said, handing me a tissue.
At this point there was a loud snort of air canada laughter from the back of air canada the room.

We stood in air canada Nothing. She pressed again. I was just about to air canada slip the key in the lock when a voice on the intercom said, 'Hello?'
'Who's that?' I said tremulously. 'Who'd you think it is, you daft cow.'
'Tom!' I bellowed air canada 'Let us in.'

'Me, Jude and air canada Shazzer.'
'I'd rather you didn't come up, air canada to air canada be air canada honest.'
