Nov. 26th, 2007 09:26 amThis month's paycheck included my annual increment, back-dated from April - £292. Very nice. Of course, the taxman snaffled half of it before I even got to see it, but it's still a very welcome lump sum just before Christmas!
The rampant Christmas shoppers in town are already driving me insane, and it isn't even December yet. The sales assistants aren't much better. I popped into Lush on Friday to get a birthday gift for my Nan. I knew exactly what I wanted (hand cream) and exactly where in the shop it was. En route, I was assailed by no less than six assistants, all anxious to ask if I was needed any help and to suggest I visit their brand new department upstairs. Six. And it isn't a big shop. Then when I finally broke free long enough to find what I wanted and take it to the till, there was nary a one in sight to actually take my money! Madness.
Had a nice afternoon at my Nan's on Saturday to celebrate her birthday: 76 years young. Went with the family and took the puppy with us. She is completely nuts, and, at 11 weeks old, has found her bark and now yips madly when she's excited. Very cute.
