Lil's Bar 3

You will need a pint then....nothing worse than that....(snigger)

It started in Waitrose and then got worse in the bank! Oh the shame!

minds eye........fussy phoenix fighting over the last packet of mince pies

Did you find a ladder in your tights? That always makes me feel embarrassed!

And then eating them all in the bank!

...bankers having to hide shopping as fussy hunts the 'last' packet.....

Actually no, my card was declined. I had a problem with it in the village shop over the weekend, but so did lots of others as the card machine in there is a sort of dial up thing, and the connection was playing up. They did mention that it seemed to be mainly Nat west cards.

Soooo, today I go to Waitrose, went to pay, card declined. Left my shopping there while I went into the bank to ask what the hell was going on. Turns out the Mr P had been late transferring from the business account to the private one and there were "insufficient funds"

So, back to Waitrose to explain, had to ask them to take the shopping back (thank god it was only a packet of tagliatelle and some cilit bang and a few other random items)

Came home, phoned Mr P (NB I didn't shout, so extra points there I think) checked both accounts, the money had left the business one but hadn't landed in the private one. Must have been floating about in the ether somewhere.

...and a ladder....dear me.....large one coming up (drink not a ladder)

jeni I very rarely go out sporting a frock these days, so tights related traumas are few and far between!

I'm glad it was you and not Pete who made that remark.

...so am I Jeni....

Well?

???????????????????

Whats up....

What's up? WHAT'S UP!? I asked for a drink hours ago, did I get one? Did I buffalo! I have now been even further traumatised by Asda, bloody Asda, I ask you!

I think it's self-service in here nowadays, phoenix...

Well I'd get you a drink phoenix...only its cash or IOUs only....No cards.....

large scotch n soda then.....

Mmmmm, yes please, easy on the ice! Some nuts would be nice.

Oh, don't set him off....

..what about a 'half' for the bloke from Waitrose in the corner....

Still roasting ...ready later...

nuts...not the bloke from 'the supermarket'

Actually, I fancied cashews, salted.

(The staff in Waitrose were very good, they know me and NOT for all the wrong reasons!, so I will be going back in there tomorrow, now that the money that left the business account has finally landed! I will also be off to buy Mr. P one more present, although his passion for Queen (the band, not the sovereign, gawd bless 'er) does make one a tad suspicious!)

...and a drink with coke !
