Things I've learnt this week

So what have I learned this week? I’ve learnt not to make snap judgements on situations without getting my facts straight – ie making an assumption that the ambulance with the flashing lights which had pulled up outside KFC must be treating an overweight person possibly having a heart attack while eating his kfc meal deal. How embarrassing would that be? Worse still what if you were the person in the queue behind them and they collapsed?, would that put you off your order? Or would you step over them to order your family bucket? Lol!

Turned out it was a little old lady and she was ok but was still taken away by ambulance. I suppose at that age who cares how you go? As long as you were enjoying yourself at the time?

Secondly I learnt I really should slow down and watch where I’m going. I accidentally elbowed a man in the face on Friday lunchtime coming out of Iceland! Smack right across his cheekbone, luckily I missed his eye! In my defence I was trying to do my handbag up with one hand with my elbow in the air and trying not to drop my mp3 or my bag of shopping, and he did kinda walk hard into my elbow, he obviously wasn’t expecting it to be level with his face or for me to come out of the shop at that precise moment in time! My mate said I should have kneed him in the balls and kicked him in the face when he went down, after all if you’re gonna do these things you need to do them right! Otherwise he said I should have taken it as fate and jumped him! He was joking obviously!

Lesson learned people when walking past shops allow enough space for people to run out in front of you. (For the record I did apologise).

Thirdly I learnt that since leaving the wonderful world of SMS when sending Christmas cards to my ex boss and his family I have been calling both his wife and daughter by the wrong name! Only been five years, apparently it’s the highlight of their Christmas to see if this year I’ll get it right. Wouldn’t have been so bad but I got his name and his son’s name ok! I think I’ve been forgiven they just assume I’m blond.  (Trigger from only fools eat your heart out!)

Saturday night I attended a surprise 40^th birthday party for my friend Sharon, we call her Dangerous because whenever we go out someone gets injured (not badly, usually only requires a plaster, apart from the time she knocked my contact lense right out of

eye!). Was a good night, dressed up as a nurse to serenade her as she came in, had pics taken then got my party frock on to dance the night away. 

Sunday drove to Kent to see my sister as she had some friends over for a bbq. This included a man they had tried to set me up with a few years ago, strange how he’s not so bad now! (I must be getting desperate!). Also a cheeky nearly 2 year old made me realise how awesome it would be to have a baby – purely to cause absolute chaos in my sister’s immaculate house! I watched the little girl eat choc cake and get it all over her face and encouraged her to go inside towards the white sofa! I have an evil streak don’t you know!

So that’s it for now, let me know how your weeks been and what you’ve been up to (On my new FB page!)

Love ya J xx
