Spread your wings and fly away

The Centre for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.

This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises. Take two good friends to the nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes – Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should immediately forward this medical alert to friends. If you do not have friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

Head off to Sainsburys for the weekly shop. Armed with my list, purse and youngest child in tow I enter the carpark and start to search eagerly for a parking space. Notice there are quite a few cars in front of me, but alas no spaces, so I head for the exit and decide to go a bit further afield and point the car in the direction of Asda.

Manage to find a parking space there eventually but the place was heaving! Half the shelves are empty which annoys me to bits especially when there are shop assistants standing around talking about their social lives. People hitting you in the legs with their trolleys and not looking where they are going. The one stupid woman who consistently walked in front of my trolley then had the audacity to tut as if I was in her way (which I wasn't).

The parents who let their kids run around the store and get in everyones way.

Then there is the queue. Long. Now I personally don't mind queuing that much as it gives one a chance to people watch. Time to admire what people are wearing, listen in to the conversation that the people behind are having. Subject of conversation between what was a young lad with a toddler and must be his mother
"Have you seen that woman over there?"
"What one?"
"The one with the blonde hair"
"Oh that is Mrs x from the club"
"How old is she?"
"70, though she tries to look younger"
"Oh right, have you seen what she has on?"
Pause
"Oh my, nice leather trousers aren't they, oh now I know why have you seen the young man with her?"
"What him with the missing teeth?"
"Yeah"
"hardly young mum"
"Oh he is, he is 65 you know, the talk of the club and a biker as well. Owns a Harley"
"yeah, but does she have to wear leather trousers?"

Thought it was quite amusing because really she didn't look good in them, but have to say if Mrs X has a younger man in her life then go girl, I admire You lol!

Anyway managed to finally pay for my purchases after having a hot sweat as I thought my card may be declined, I managed to get home safe and sound despite the amount of traffic on the road normal found on a weekday. wondering if I managed to sleep through 2008 and it isn't January at all but Christmas all over again lol!!

The sun is shining through the windows as I type which is a nice change from all that rain we had yesterday. It isn't very warm outside though so no chance of the washing getting dry, but at least if it is out for a short while it will smell nice and fresh when I hang it on the radiators to dry further.

Eldest has a swimming Gala later today, youngest has just finished doing his homework for now. I have the usual housework things to do and then I will try and get some shopping with the little money I have at my disposal - not a lot to be sure as hubby hasn't been paid in two weeks.

He is paid weekly, but due to illness and lack of work, there is no payment, though that should be sorted next week. No money in my bank account because I got paid early in December so have to wait until the 27th of this month before I get paid again. Things are always tight financially in January, but hopefully once hubby gets paid again we will get back on an even keel.

We are a lot better off than some people, that is the one thing that keeps me going really.

Coughing isn't so bad today, haven't wet myself yet anyway which should be a good sign lol! My back hurts though, could be from all the coughing I was doing yesterday so I shall relax in a warm bath later in the hope that will ease it.

Right enough rambling on about nothing, most boring blog award obviously to me lol!

Have a good day
