Oh wow, Terry, I love your interpretation of this prompt! On reading the prompt I was sure that I'd identified the story you would tell.... but no! What an ingenious idea!

This post has well and truly whetted my appetite for CityLit's 60 minute writer course which starts in January.

Tutor: Terry Freedman! I can't wait!

I’m glad you mentioned this, Rebecca, because I forgot to do so in my latest Start the Week post!

🤣 Starting the week as early as Monday is at best overrated and at worst downright unreasonable. I stretch the weekend out until at least Thursday on principle. Oh, and did I mention that weekends start on a Friday? 😉

Haha! What a great twist of a classic breakup story! I'm cancelling my Ikea trip for today.

Thanks very much, Jim. Yes, my first thought when given the prompt was ‘a break-up’, but then I wanted to do something a bit different.

Good decision about IKEA. I can never find my way out!
