 Re: What wound you up today
It's not as if they have to lift the thing - the wagon does that for them these days!
Anyway, I'm not wound up - - much. I'm spitting feathers!
I think it's 'get Willow morning'!!!
It all started when I went to the doctors to collect 2 repeat prescriptions, mine and his. I'd already had a note with mine saying not to order them more than once a month but I have to take the flippin tablets daily and they only give me 28. So it naturally works out that they don't last the full month. So, this time what do I get? Oh they've done mine - but still only for 28 days - but not done his! So I had to wait for one to be printed and signed. "You must not have ordered them together" says she. Oh yes, I go all the way up there, put one order in, have a bit of a wnder around town and then go back and put the other order in? I don't think so.
So, moving right along off I go to leave the prescriptions at the chemist and pop along to WH Smiths to collect my regular order which should be in a folder in a drawer. I say 'should be' because it never flippin is. Ask Mick,he'll tell you I'm always holding the queue up while they try to find the magazines which aren't there. These are actually partworks which my kids are collecting. They've already managed to lose 2 issues so they had to be back ordered but this morning they went one better - they couldn't even find the folder. Cue manager(ess) who last time had assured me that there would be no further problems and it would all run smooth as clockwork from now on. Meanwhile one of the staff found my folder - in the wrong drawer, but with only one item in it so then she was hunting for the other one when the manageress arrived telling me there was no problem because the folder was obviously there! I told her 'obviously there' now but obviously not there when they had sent for her because they couldn't find it. I told her it had been found in the wrong drawer. I actually SAW the girl find it in the wrong drawer but manager(ess) insisted that was the right drawer and it wasn't lost at all. So then I asked where the magazines were and she held up the one and said "here" - I pointed out that was 'a' magazine - in the singular and that I had a regular order for two - she found the other one in a pile which should have been sorted into the folders but hadn't been.
So off I toddle to Timpsons where I had left my daughter's sandals for heeling and the 4 medals they had won at the dance competition on Saturday for engraving. One had two bronze medals and the other had a bronze and a gold. They'd only gone and engraved the names on the wrong medals. They insisted that was the way they had been handed over on Monday but I know very well I handed them over correctly. I gave the lad one pair of medals and told him the name and details and when he had written all that out I handed over the other two and told him those details. Even the bronze medals were not identical for the two girls - they were for different dances. I did say to him to be sure he got the right names on the right ones too so to have got them wrong I was decidedly dischuffed.
And so back to the chemist - where to top it all off they didn't have my nasal spray so I have to go back tomorrow for that. Good job I've still got some left in the old one isn't it? At least I got all the tablets.
Can it get any worse?
Kettle on I think ...................................
