I am.....

Thankful for my friends who left lovely messages here yesterday (and even you too my brother who is stepping up to the plate and calling me daft buggar LOL loved it!) and also to my friends who privately emailed me THANK YOU...I made it through the day and today I feel absolutely great!

The sun is shining, it's a glorious day and all of yesterday's chores are now waiting patiently to be done, so do them I shall (or perhaps, I wont lol)

My mood is back, so I shall share another antic from work (you knew it had to happen LOL)..

Things were a little slow in layby so I offered to observe men shopping do a quick tidy in menswear as it needed to be done, I had such fun in there 3 hours later, I returned to Layby LOL..

Observing the Male shopper is interesting to say the least, they get easily distracted and can't make up their mind or simply forget why they are there, on the other hand, you have the grab what I can and get out of here, shopper, he's not interesting at all..

A few men will ask you for help, claiming they've left their wife/girlfriend at home and she will be mad if they get the wrong size/colour. I had one young man, who was shopping with his 3 yr old daughter ask me for assistance with underwear..He didn't know what size he would be and could I help him, I said perhaps a medium, he blushed and said, Wouldn't I be a large? I told him to go try some on, because i was about to start laughing and had to get away from him.  then had to pick up all the undies that his wretched   dear little girl had taken off the racks and stacked  in the middle of the aisle...

I then had the lovely old man who felt the need to tell me his complete history which is probably why i spent 3 hours in that dept  he needed a track-suit, so I showed him where to find them, NO you seem to be mistaken, he said, I need a tracksuit, not  a jacket  and trackies..um..ok lets try it this way..when you put this jacket with these pants, it makes a tracksuit!...OHHHHH you are clever he says..I've always thought so. 

I had the male who asked me if this colour underpants matched the colour of his eyes? Why? a question I am still asking myself  the mother, who was buying underwear for her 36yr old son and kept asking me was I married?? what does that have to do with underwear?

and finally the man who held up 2 pairs of G-strings thongs for those American readers and seriously asked me if they were comfortable to wear. To which i seriously had to reply, Sorry Sir, I've never worn men's underwear so I am unable to say!

I have to admit I was happy to return to my dark little hole at the back of the store!
