Feeling Happy
day of disaster well not quite :o)
How can I describe Monday ~ Other than to say it was a day of pitfalls ~
We were going to the Coast to do some business ~ really just to collect some printing we had done
but on our way I realised I had lost my Bank card ~ we decided to go into Sheringham to my Bank to make sure it was cancelled ~ when we arrived at the Bank it was Lunch time and there was only one young girl dealing with everything
She ordered me a new card ~ but did not cancel the lost one ~ saying that my old card would stop when I received the new one ~ I felt sorry for her as there was a queue of people waiting to be served ~ she gave me a phone number to call to cancel my old card myself ~ getting on the mobile outside the bank phoned the number she had given me but could not understand the person who answered the call it was a terrible line ~ later I ended up going back into the Bank and spoke to the Manager who had returned from her Lunch break ~ she sorted it all out in less than 10 minutes ~
Then we went to pick up the printing we had ordered ~ when Lyn checked the order she found that they had printed our www web number incorrectly ~ he asked us to return about an hour and a half later and he would have them ready for us ~ so we Drove into Cromer and looked around the shops ~
we went into one where I reached up to get a battery and a hugh heavy battery fell from the shelf right onto my right foot ~ you would not believe the bump that appeared on my foot it was huge ~ I was really near to tears ~ but the woman serving us was only intent on taking the money for my purchase and didn't ask if I was OK ~ that is one shop I won't go into again
We went back to collect the printing and you wouldn't believe it they had done it wrong again ~ the Chap apologised and said he would do them again and put them in the post for us ~ (which we actually received this morning)
what other disaster happened ~ OH YES ~ Lyn went in the shower when we arrived home and asked me to turn the spaghetti that was on the stove off ~ without looking I accidentally turned it up so burnt the saucepan
Lyn reckons I am becoming accident prone ~ what with burning my hand with the hot coffee ~ my accident I had a few weeks ago and Monday ~ I am beginning to agree with her ~ but they say things come in three's so perhaps that is the last of my accidents ~ I really do hope so

Makes you wonder how some shops stay in business. You ougt to name them - espcially the battery shop - so we can all avoid them.

I am so very sorry I missed this entry...I have reset alerts for many journals over and over again...
I was happy to read the bank manager was able to sort out the problems with the cards...and in such a short time too.
Oh my OUCH! on that battery hitting your poor foot...this was just not your day at all...but I hope your next entry will get to me, no problem and it will show you healing and things going much better...many hugs and love you!!

I am so glad to see that you've survived that day of disaster. I hope by now that sore foot has healed and that the printer finally got it right. You're a lot more patient than I when it comes to things such as that. I might have forgiven the first error, but the second one would have put me off completely.
Let's hope that the "things in threes" adage holds true. No more troubles for Ms Ally, ok? -
I am definitely accident prone at the moment! After today's prang in my car, I burnt a saucepan yesterday, burnt the toast this morning and smashed a cup last evening. I seem to be just as bad as you!Love Conniex
