The end of the week!

It's felt like a long week this week, and it hasn't helped that this cold we all have (even Mum and Dad) has really taken its toll on all of us.

I was under the impression that we had extra staff in today to help over lunchtime, but that wasn't the case, so I was a bit miffed! Fridays are really shaping up to be a busy day now and today was no exception as we were swamped with customers. Luckily, after ringing around, one of our new girls came in and helped out on the till which meant that Mum and I could go off to the bank and get Polly a Birthday present as she will be 60 next week and today was her last day before taking a short break from work.

Maureen (the angel) had baked a beautiful cake and had arranged a collection for some pressies, so just before we all went home we had a little celebration. Polly has worked for us for 20 years which means she was younger than I am now when she started with us! Amazing!

It was heaven to get home and do very little. Next week we really must get back into the gym routine!
