Family coming on NY Day so thought I’d get ahead with shopping.
First, I don’t usually shop at Waitrose, so hadn’t realised you need a pound coin for the trolley, and I didn’t have one, so had to make do with 2 heavy baskets.
Second, about to leave - couldn’t find my car keys! Searched bag and pockets in vain! Beginning to panic, I retraced my steps, no luck, eventually asked at Customer Services whether they’d been handed in.
No.
Eventually realised that my heavy bunch of keys had managed to fall through a small hole in my pocket (I didn’t know there was a hole) and were in the lining.
Phew!
Next, found that someone had parked an absolutely massive monster of a car so close to mine, just a few inches away, that I couldn’t get in, had to clamber in from the other side.
Then, trying to reverse out, with the monster protruding from the space far more than any normal car, and the tiny space between us - I must have performed half a dozen manoeuvres before some nice chap came (shaking his head at the monster!) and helped guide me out.
Was I glad to get home!!
