Cynthia that was a busy lunch, Maybe youu should have got a bigger table ;-)

I have just lost 2 hours fixing up a banking error.

Had to go for lunch afterwards to calm my nerves ;-)

Will vent on dark side

Jonesey You mean you didn't offer a gift wrapping service ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Cyn,

Your fame has obviously gone on before you.

When I was a shopkeeper I often used to experience similar situations which with probably 2,000 or so customers visiting the shop every week was only to be expected. Local encounters were to be expected but not all were local. On one occasion whilst on holiday in Portugal I was sitting on the beach in Praia da Rocha when a woman came up to me and said that she had a bone to pick with me. :-0

She said that she had been in my shop (In Birmingham) a few days earlier and had purchased a chip pan as a wedding present for someone. Apparently she had asked the shop assistant (Gladys) to put it into a box to make it easier for her to giftwrap when she got it home. Gladys had replied saying that cheap chip pans do not come boxed. The woman who accosted me was being quite serious when she suggested that I dismiss Gladys.

I of course was very sympathetic, right up until the moment the woman walked away. ;-)

It's a lovely day here too Linds.......the sunshine makes such a difference doesn't it?


Poor Gins.......hope you soon recover from whatever is ailing you.........



Haven't stopped all morning. Quick trip to supermarket..........then to visit our friend who has had an important birthday recently......drop OH off for a short walk home.....a bit of housework......out to lunch with a friend..........zzzzz


I met up with my friend and, as soon as we entered the coffee shop, we both recognised someone who was already in.


Just as our lunch was brought to the table, another couple got up to leave. The woman came over and said "I know you don't I?" Now this happens to me quite a lot so I went through the usual possibilities.


Then the husband joined in and was able to name my husband so they definitely knew me. Eventually we sorted out the how's, why's, when's and where's and chatted amiably for a while.


The lunch was really nice and, as it was drawing to a close, an older lady and a young woman came in. The place was full and, as we had finished, I said they could sit at our table whilst we got our stuff together. The older woman looked at me and said "I know you don't I?"..........at this point, my friend threw her head back and said "I'm not coming out with you anymore......this ALWAYS happens when I'm with you." We sorted out the whatevers again and we paid up and left.


I will have to go out with a bag over my head next time I'm with that friend I think.... :-D :-D :-D :-D

Gins nice of you to share your germs with JB bet he is happy about that ;-)

You both could cuddle up ;-)

Hope you both feel better soon <3

Did I tell you I had found my GGF Francis and GGM's wedding certificate?

Is that Paracetamol and Ibuprofen Ginns ????? - I don't quite understand the initials ! :-S

You are quite right though about not going to see your sister just yet - you would do her (and the othetr people in there) more harm than good !!!

Wait till you are better and you can give her a cuddle then !!

Dea xxx <3

I am even better than this morning....although, I am on PC and IB and heavy cough stuff

I still feel guilty about not going to see sis, but the other girls on the ward are on Chemo and their immune system is very low, it wouldnt be right

I said, that when I stop sneezing and coughing, I will go up, I do miss a cuddle with her

Please tel 'our Fans' that I am very pleased to hear that she is O.K. !!! AND she must tak things easier from now on !!! <3 <3 <3

Nice to see that Ginns is feeling a bit better also !

My gran used to swear by onions for several things. She would put half of one on the kitchen window to keep germs at bay

The heart of the onion, warmed in the oven and placed in the ear for earache

Half an onion placed at the back of the kneck for a headache
