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!

The sunshine helped!

I popped into see how the Plasterer was doing...
Nearly finished when I left↓
 I have a quick sandwich, and then off to do my other job...
When I got back,
I did a nice meat-free Stir Fry..
I go and see the Plasterer about doing more work at my dad's once he comes back off his Holidays(The Plasterer that is)
I then leave my house to visit my dad↓ 
 The rest of the ceiling will have to be boarded and plastered and redectored at a later date↓
Back home,
I got changed and off to my other job!
Came back,
I was asleep before my head touched the pillow!
No need for ear-plugs tonight!
