Catching up

Things didn't work out quite as I had anticipated on the 'catching up' front today, Bah!

Work was a nightmare, all those shoppers who the press has been telling us for days are being cautious, not using credit cards and not hitting the sales seemed to change their minds en-mass today and cross our door, the place was madness, and the situation wasn't assisted by under staffing and illness. We seem to have our own little flu epidemic in my place of work right now, they are dropping like flies!

Hence the day was hard, lunch was a cursory moment taken to stuff a sandwich into my face to keep me going, breaks where few and far between and the working day was extended by an inability to eject customers through the door at the given hour. Add to that, nothing bar customer service had got done for the entire day and needed catching up with. I eventually crawled home late, disgruntled and knackered.....anyone good at foot massage??

On the up side I have (I think) caught up with my emails, the flat no longer resembles a laundry, I've made it here to post, if only briefly and I have the next few days off! Things are looking decidedly brighter.

I'm off now to 'test' a big box of chocolates that I was given at Christmas (well it would be rude not too!), and then get some sleep........on second thoughts, maybe I'll test the chocolates in bed!
