No Tongues Given

Hope the ride on that unicorn doesn't hurt too much - my quote in a co-worker's leaving card.

Tuesday is a day of goodbyes...

Gets to my job a bit later than I normally get there....

(I had 20 minutes before I officially start work)

Everyone worrying that I wasn't going to be in...

I just quotes the quote...

"Assumption is the mother of all ......!"

*I find out my co-worker is leaving in July!*

At least the weather stopped dry....

Back home in the sunshine, listening to non stop classic 60s hits!

 

 In need of a strong coffee!

Off to my other job.

It was a co-worker's last day.

I gave him a card from me last week...

I still signed the work leaving card...

We were all gathered together to say Goodbye to him...

Speeches were said like:

"We had a our good and bad times, it's called work!"

(I thought that sounded like a song title)

He was given his Leaving card and present.

While I went into the factory,

He was staying goodbye to the workers in there.

He came over to me, and told me to put my mop bucket down for a goodbye hug.

He said beforehand...."No Tongues!"

I laughed, and "Wished him well for the future!"

I bought something home for my Gerbils to play in...↓

At least my Body Shop order arrived...

Having dry skin is not fun....

At least this keeps it at bay....↓

I got our evening meal sorted...

Amazing what you can put together...

Mince, Spinach, garlic, red onions,can of chopped tomatos, and ginger, with a packet of Linguine....

We had four empty plates...

We caught up with Gordon in↓

 There were some shocking hotels from what we watched....

We were all surposed to be going to bed early......

Someone had to sort their cooking stuff out,

10 minutes before their bedtime!

I'm just hoping for a dry Hump tomorrow and not a wet one! 

 

 

  

If You Go Into The Woods Today....

Every Monday morning is new hope. - Maria Kalman

It's back on the wobbly work wheel after 2 weeks off...🎡

Back to using the alarm clock...

I had the nudge to wake up for breakfast..

 I gave 3 sloppy 💋💋💋 to everyone before they left.

I had loads to do...

That's even before I get to work...

At least the sun is back!

 Big big sunglasses time..

 I had nip into Lidl and Dunelm..

I got two French Lavender plants for £5 :)

 Then into Dunelm..

 

 I have got 2, I don't need a third :D↑

 PVC material for kitchen table↑

I went to see the staff on the tills,

When a customer was there already shouting at the two staff on the tills..

Some of the conversation I was witness to:

"Where's the receipt?"

"Like my wife said on the telephone, we haven't got one,I will explain this to Rachel at 1.30 this afternoon, when I come back in!"Shouted the the customer.

"Do you know what this Rachel looks like? As we have 3 Rachels here."

"I don't know, as my wife spoke to her on the phone yesterday!"He shouted.

"Ok Sir see you later." 

One of the staff sorted my order out.

It was discounted some more.

He said to me about the previous customer's order," No Dunelm bag, no sticker on the bag or no receipt, Dunelm isn't the only place that sells the material they bought."

I said,"You have a bad moment this morning,and good moment helping me with my order."

"Hope so,"He said.

"Yin and Yang"I said.

When I paid for my fabric, the staff couldn't remember the abusive customer.

I did, and sung the following song so they could remember his name...

"If you go down into the WOODS today,

you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the WOODS today, you'd better go in disguise..."

My bargain↓

Then I go to my dad's and wait for the plasterer to come 9.50 - 10.40.

Coffee Time
I then leave once they start,
I collects my newspaper and drop off a perscription.
Talk about busy bee 
Finally get to work!
