    Continued.......

    Gerry puts her foot in it once again……
    Was in the checkout queue, there was a wee man looking at special offers on bedding, he asked me if it was sheets in the packet I told him it was pillowcases the sheets were in the packets on the bottom shelf He asked me what colour he should get he had white in his hand, I said get the blue ones the white will get dirty easily. (he looked as though he needed a good wash) I told him he would need to buy 2 packets one sheets and the other pillowcases. He asked how much it would cost all in when I told him he put the packets down and walked away. Judging by his dirty clothes, I was thinking he might have been homeless. and he probably couldn’t afford them. :confused::confused:

    I felt really sorry for him, thinking the poor wee soul couldn’t afford to buy his sheets and it being The season of good will, I headed back in to shop to give him a couple of pound towards his sheets, I met him coming out and went to give him the money making a joke here’s money for your sheets your present from Mrs Santa Claus. :xmassmile:santa2:


    The guy pulled out a bundle of notes from his pocket _pale_ _pale_ look he said I’ve got money here (it was at least £500), he had just finished working on a building site so that’s why he was so dirty and scruffy looking....:huh: :huh:


    I had just insinuating that the guy looked like a neglected down and out.:eek: :eek: I was so embarrassed...:o:o I couldn’t apologise enough, what a horrible way to insult someone.

    He ended up laughing :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: and said it was probably the nicest thing anyone had ever done for him. I was absolutely affronted I couldn’t get back to my car quick enough.:embarasse :(


    Lesson learnt


    1/ you should never judge by appearances ......:naughty::naughty::naughty:

    2/ Gerry is always saying the wrong thing and getting into trouble.... :confused:


    A Mortified Wee Gerry :smileyhea
    Gerry Please dont feel affronted that was a beautiful thing you did. x
  • :confused:Been to the docs with daughter and her blood result came back positive for glandular fever, poor girl no wonder she has felt so bad.

    She is distraught she had some work at the local bar with lots of extra money lined up, but as you all know health is wealth. I think she feels happier though knowing what she has now, as we were all worried that she wasnt recovering quickly enough for tonsiliitis (sp?)

    Love x

    Wonder if Gerry would know more on this?, even though Vitamin C is one of the main supplements that our bodies need.

    I have no experience of this sorry hun......:confused:, I'm sure someone will post up with some good advice on this for you.:A

    I feel so sorry for your daughter having to go through this, especially at this time of year, and you too hun, its very stressful isn't it?
