Sacha is back with this week’s #Writespiration prompt!
Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.
This week, include the following in your story:“The bitch was right.”
Here goes!
She sniggered.
“Erm, Jane, you might want to lose that loo roll stuck to your shoe!”
Silly cow, always trying to show me up.
Not this time.
I walked into the meeting room and smiled at the board of directors.
They looked at me.
I looked down
Damn, the bitch was right!

Matt The Book Blogger’s prompt for this week’s #FlashFictionForay.
This week’s edition will be on (drumroll please)… Kodaline’s Everything Works Out in the End. Feel free to base responses of anything to do with the song, I always enjoy any different takes!
It’s a song I hadn’t heard before, but here’s my take!
100 words of crazy, as usual!
Meet Bob, my fiancé.
And that’s Jill, my Maid of Honour.
Yes they are walking up the aisle.
Together.
Rewind to three hours ago.
I was having a breakdown.
It had dawned on me that it was Jim I loved, not Bob.
Jim, the Best Man.
Jill’s boyfriend.
Confused?
So was I!
And I was meant to be getting married TODAY!
Then Bob went all gooey eyed looking at Jill.
And she looked at him the same.
So we swapped places today.
Jim squeezed my hand.
Everything works out in the end, they say … I guess they were right.

Eyes cannot unsee
Witness to all that happened
Truly scarred for lifeRitu 2017
And a second for my Lil Man who has been bringing home scrumptious delights as he has started Food Technology (formerly known as Cookery, but that’s too girly for boys!)
Behold the wonder
He made his first Mac’n’Cheese
Feast your eyes on it!Ritu 2017

A little repost from past year. Happy 45th Anniversary Pops and Mum!
Wishing my parents, Pops and Mum a very happy wedding anniversary!
A love like yours
We wish to achieve
That blanket of life
We want to weave
That unerring faith
You have in each other
The respect that you show
For one another
You’re there for us
Whenever the need
The advice you give
We’ll always heed
If we only had half
Of what you had
We’d be so lucky
And we’d be glad
A marriage built
On respect and love
You truly are a match
Made up above.
