Once Bitten Twice Shy? -No Sireeee not me
Those who regularly read this nonsense may recall my "crumpet rage" at Tesco Express last week.
Well this dotty old bag was there again tonight and have I learned my lesson? Did I stay clear of the evil self service till wotsits??
Did I 'eck, like a lamb to the slaughter, the trusting fool that I am I was sucked into the "ooohhh bet that'll be quicker than queuing" mentality.
This time it was worse, scanned all my stuff, then it sniffilly refused every form of payment I offered it, I cajoled, I pleaded all to no avail...............I was eventually persuaded to go and queue up outside to use the chuffin' cash till to get money to pay!!! The queue for that was about 8 people long..............will I ever learn???
Anyway due to my early onset of senility I bought a flash new filofax yesterday, filled it with everything my pea brain needs to remember till the next Millenium and guess what? The damn thing is too big to fit in my handbag...........sheesh!! I Give up
So , now at my desk making cards and I have run out of blanks (I'll need to shoot myself with real bullets ha ha ha ha ha!!)

Hey Sam,
I am SO glad that I am not the only one yelling at the so-called automatic checkouts when they refuse to work properly! Sometimes there's somebody hovering at the end of them who can fish out the change which it's refusing to give you back etc., other times there's nothing like a good ol' rant!
Re the school letters issue. I try and look on a Saturday or Sunday morning plus midweek in the schoolbag to check out what monies we're supposed to fork out now for the PTA. Don't leave them out for the Dad to do. They don't. They just lose them instead.
Had a major meltdown last night, trying to make dinner, rushed off feet, and then kid dropped my (untouched!) glass of wine on kitchen floor. Hubby had to finish off making dinner so of course it wasn't really edible - AND my Xmas cards are sitting on the table totally untouched for 2 weeks now. Hubby can organise dinner all week from now on. Am officially on strike until cards are done. Wonder how long I can string that out for.
Wonder if I should start my own blog?
