Me and Granny and Daddy and Josh went to see Mummy in the place where she is staying. Its a sort of hotel called Milton House where they give you pills and jelly. I ate Mummys jelly. I didnt like Milton House except for the vending machine with crisps and chocolates in it. Mummy was in a room with another lady who had a HUGE belly and was about to drop a baby out of her urethra. Mummy was wearing her tracksuit bottoms and her nighty at the same time sitting in a chair in a room watching an old episode of Tracy Beaker on telly. Mummy HATES Tracy Beaker but she didnt complain AT ALL. She was all sleepy and her voice was different like she was forign or something. She smelt funny. Granny told me and Josh to give Mummy a hug. To be honest I didnt want to give her a hug but I did and she wouldnt let go and my hair hurt and she had a bracelet on with her name on it. WHY would she need that? Afterwards I asked Josh if he thought that she really was our mummy. He told me to stop being a retard.

Daddy told me to give her my card which I drew of me wearing new clothes pushing Phoebe B down the stairs and she stared at it for a long time but didnt ask me what it was about. First she was smiling but tears came out of her eyes without her crying from her mouth. I said whats wrong but she kept looking at the card. Then I started crying too and Granny took my hand and we went and got some lucosade sport from the vending machine. Granny was very rude to a lady saying theyd turned Mummy into a BLOODY ZOMBIE and what the hell was going on and she wanted to see the manajer. When we went back to say goodbye Josh had changed the channel to soccer and they were all watching the telly apart from Mummy who had gone to sleep and it was only 3 oclock. In the car on the way home Granny was crying. She had a headache. I dont like it how things are at all any more. Maybe Mummy is a zombie which means shes dead. I want to go to Nesses.
