Hi Judith,
I think KittyKat's obsession with detail, dates and planning is bordering on an OCD. It's OK to make plans, but things don't always go according to plans, and the way she seems to be planning her future in such incredible detail is really strange. She's done all research on schools and pre-schools in Marmaris (what time they open, finish, term times blah blah blah) she's not even pregnant yet! How does she know when she's going to fall pregnant?
Some people can fall pregnant at the drop of a hat, but some people have terrible trouble falling pregnant - and as the saying goes - don't count your chickens until they're hatched.
She doesn't even know how her relationship's going to pan out. I don't think they can barely converse - and
if he ever masters English - she may discover he's an idiot! Or he might find her incredibly boring and pushy! I bet she sits with him talking non-stop while he stares into space with that vacant glassy-eyed look people have who 'aren't quite with it'.
He has to be a numpty to think he was going to buy a brand new sports car in September!
What a muppet! And she can't be much brighter to go along with his deluded daydreams. It's all stupid. And if a person did have £50k (cars are dead expensive in Turkey!) they could buy an apartment with that! She and he live in a complete and utter dreamworld by the sound of things.
You're right what you say, Judith. The only reason she's trying to convince herself that she wants to live in Turkey is because he can't speak English; in fact, I'm sure she once said he can't even read and write in Turkish. It's very sad, and it must be horrible for him, but those are the facts, and she realises it will be years (if at all) before he gets to the UK.
And as for the filthy, scumbag children she refers to - again, you're right. They all get taken to Marmaris and Altinkum. Respectable people with breeding would never in a million years find Marmaris, Icmeler or Altinkum appealing. Never. And that's why she sees these common-as-much scumbag types all around - cos she's living in the thick of it. I know she comes from somewhere in or around Birmingham - and going by what she said it sounds like she comes from the very rough part if she has scumbags loitering on street corners.
If she wants to better herself (and why not?!) what on earth is she doing with an illiterate, daydreaming Kurd - and in Marmaris at that!
