Christmas food shopping

She was waiting for staff to reduce it further in the day - yelling at staff to get on with it. They politely pointed out they weren't reducing it further until later and certainly not whilst she had her hand on it. She huffed and called a mate a few aisles over to "look after it for her" whilst she went doing other shopping.

So I nipped in and grabbed it - nobody had hold of it after all. After about ten minutes of shopping I returned and placed it back; it was soon gathered by a polite Asian fellow - he was curious as to why I put it back. I explained and we had a good laugh about it!

Where is this as I've been out the last 3 days and had no problems I've actually thought it's been quite this year

Innit.

It's small steps that can change a society after all. Yelling at staff for not doing what she wanted was quite frankly disgraceful, they aren't paid to take abuse.

Morrisons down Cardiff Bay.

Wife gave me a list of three places to go, it's been absolutely heaving today. Getting a parking space in Tescos down Western Avenue was an adventure all of it's own.

8 stone? You want to change your name to Karen carpenter

Hardly; it went to a good home so the end result was a net positive. Life lesson learnt for said woman not to treat hard working staff like shit.

Council raisins were the only things I didn't like. Tasted funny.

Gammon, 2 Eggs and chips and several pints of Stella up the pub for lunch.

It’s great when the kids get older I’ve got **** all to put together tonight so once they get out of the bath we are going to sit down and watch Ratburger by David Walliams.

Once they go to bed I’ll have some more Stella

Had everything we wanted delivered yesterday right to the door, the wife went to Marks & Spencer yesterday to pick up the last bits we ordered online. Bliss.
