Oh dear - I've just cleaned my teeth with the kiddie tooothpaste (mmm strawberry), yesterday I nearly put the potty doings in the laundry basket, the day before that I nearly poured the kettle into the tea caddie...


Is anyone else doing daft things as we (ahem) multitask in our sleep-deprived 'where's the intravenous caffeine?' state?


And to think they let us drive cars.....

hmmmm...while I was writing this post this morning our eldest daughter (nearly three) got hold of my bright pink nail varnish and did her toe nails....


...the rest of her feet


her bottom

most of her right thigh

her pyjamas

Dad's vibrating massage chair.


Then I heard 'Mummmmmmyyyyyyy...I need some help!'


:-$

I still can't think about a couple of week's ago "but we just wanted to see what your make up looked like mummy......" incident on the beige carpets of our bedroom (and subsequent enormous bill) without weeping silently.


Driving scares me sometimes, I often forget why I am in the car at all......

I've walked home from morning school run with childrens coats and book bags still in my hands soooo many times.....and then in the afternoon remembered the children but left the poor dog tied to the school railings a few times.


Quite often get dogs & childrens names mixed up when calling them too.


Oh dear.

Believe ...


...it or not "we" do the same things too



LadyW**F says....


"How MANY times has this washing been through the machine..? "



I say.....


" Err.. has it "



*she frowns, I grin *




The other day whilst spraying myself with Avon "soft & gentle" dry oil


I opened my eye ( to check it was working ) whilst spraying my face


Ooooh that stung



"Oh, you have got one red eye "



"Yes, I DO know.....thank you..."



W**F

Not mummying as such but quite a few shopping incidents which i solely blame on hormones and tiredness due to children - scarily all in the last 2 months:


finishing sainsburys shop, paying for it, put kids in car, go to put shopping in boot and realise that i hadn't put any of the items (big weekly shop) in bags but all back in trolley separately.


finishing sainsburys shop, paying for it, put kids in car, put trolley back in trolley park, drive home, go to unpack and realise that i have left shopping in trolley - go back to sainsburys and go to security guard and luckily some kind man had handed in my trolley!!!


and the age old fav, go shopping, check out and realise wallet is at home - aghaghaghaghaghagh


oh the joys

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
