While the cat's away...

Liz went away for the weekend, so i bribed Kayleigh and Sam with muffins to come visit me and keep me company. Kayleigh has started keeping plastic containers from the pharmacy to use in the therapy department. I had some of them home with me to be washed (- wouldn't want to accidently poison someone!). So on Sat afternoon we were messing around with them, trying to think up ideas for turning them into an income generating project (yes, even in our silly moments we are thinking about community transformation). We had some incredibly crazy ideas, particularly from Kayleigh. She was convinced that we could use some containers for mugs, so Sam and i made her prove it could work. Kayleigh drank a cup of coffee from a paracetamol tub and declared it successful - despite having to wait for the coffee to cool down so as not to burn her hands on the hot plastic. She even labled it ("Kayleigh's ultimate pharmacy mug") and put it in our mug cupboard for when she comes to visit.


Later that evening, Liz's fridge was tempting us to play a prank. After much discussion, it was decided that we would move the contents of her fridge into my fridge and replace them with Bactrim bottles (back to previous story about pharmacy containers). In the process of emptying Liz's fridge we discovered Kayleigh's 6 week-old leftover birthday cake, so that got moved to a prominant position (yellow tub).
Liz's discovery of the new state of her fridge was somewhat entertaining. She obviously had a good weekend and didn't get much sleep, because she was totally confused and it took a while of staring at the fridge to realise who the culprits were. Turns out, she was wondering if we had moved her food into the Bactrim containers - we're not that mean Liz!
