Can It Get Any Better Than This?

Back on the wobbly work wheel.
Gets up at 5am.
Used up the last of the normal coffee.
Off to work in the dark with a smile.
Tried to turn off alarm, it wasn't having any of it!
Had to call on a member of staff at 6am to turn the alarm off.
The day was not going to get any better.
All I seem to be doing is opening and locking doors!
The heavy rain I had while doing my third job and getting wet.
Really made my day complete.
Not!
There are reports of us having heavy snow next month.
Best get that snow plow on order just in case!

No Rest For The Wicked!

I welcomed Sunday with open arms.
I had a much deserved lie in.
Now to tidy some of the house.
Washing machine on.
Walked the dog.
I popped into a Psychic Event.
I saw a clairvoyant, who said my late mum is not happy.
She said she will never be happy.
Oh dear.
So later on, I put some red roses on her grave to make my late mum a little bit happy.
Got my 3 uniforms ready for the start of the wobbly work wheel tomorrow.
Now to have a very early night, as I have a meeting with a 5am alarm clock!

Playing With The Fondant

Still got up 6am this morning to finish off the baking.
The Victoria Sponge failed twice.
The Lemon Drizzle cake sunk when it came out of the oven :@
The plan I had for my cupcakes sunk without a trace
Oh dear, rushing around trying to bake,have coffee, and roll fondant!
Time was a ticking, first I played with white then black fondant icing.
I inserted the last eyeball into the last sheep, time now for the mad dash.
It was 10.15am, all my items had to be booked in and displayed by 11am.
I had 2 minutes to spare!
I returned to discover I had won First Prize for my Chocolate Cake.
I also finished runner up twice in two categories.
Now to take off the concrete baking shoes, and sit down for a bit,while eat some cake I have made!

Splat!

Tuesday once again.
I am on the hunt for some duck eggs.
No duck eggs at Morrison's and Tesco's.
So off I go and get some from Waitrose.
They are on the reduced stand!
Even better!
Got my free coffee.
My younger son,Jack  noticed the cashier didn't scan the reduced price on the rolls.
Jack soon went to customer service department
Wanting the 51p back.
Once home, I moved the oven gloves, a box of duck eggs hit the floor.
Splat!
Now I have only got 9 left!
Start my new job tomorrow!
