    Oh what a day.....nothing gone right. Boss in Big Bad Mood all morning. Took DD2 into town to sit her AS geography exam and went shopping while she did it, and nothing went right there either:-
    • Lakeland - went in for a browse because they sent me £3 voucher and got so overcome with misery because the bargain corner is no more I forgot to spend it :mad:
    • Waterstones - all those books and they were out of stock of the ONE book I really REALLY [strike]wanted [/strike]needed :mad:
    • Debenhams - every size T-shirt bra in the universe on the racks....except mine :mad:
    • Specsavers - they employ about 5 lovely assistants and1 idiot ....I needed to choose some new specs (had my eye test a few weeks ago so thought it would be simple) and only the idiot was available to serve.
    • Morrisons - I never shop there, but as it is near my DD's school I thought I would end up there, and do a stock up because it's pay day tomorrow while I waited for her to finish...then I get home and find out from the daily thread that there is a coupon in the Sun for £5 off in Morrisons today :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: (I don't buy daily newspapers but would have made an exception in this case!)
    No flying done other than what I managed before work this morning either.

    Am off for a read and a sulk
