retail experiences

of course, after Merry’s blog, i should just post a glowing account of today so you all wondered why she would say that it wasn’t true! of course, we did have a glowing account kind of day, which makes me wonder which bits she doesn’t want to be true. Of course, I guess asking us to bring lunch just as we’re setting out may not sound perfect hostessy, but hey, it was easier for us to do that than she drag 4 children to local shops. An she did go out to get dinner. of course, telling me that her stock room was a disaster and she’d just recieved 600 boxes of stuff, which I could only look at after they were on shelves, and I could watch her work all day if i wanted, was probably guarenteed to make me put stuff away, and then, knowing how aspergerish I can be, organise bits so that like was with like and it was all beautifully in rows etc!! and the see what she was short of…..I enjoyed it, chatting as i went, and it didn’t persuade me to buy more than i had intended either! I would like a stock room i think! She didn’t quite persuade me totidy the cupboard though – organising = fine, tidying = no no!

I did my the fimo multipack though as it has lots of colours, as well as some skin tones. the dragon kit is ace. oh and when she puts them up, the jewellery kits look brill too.

and we had a totaly fab day of gossip and company for adults, Josie and BB were having a lovely time playing together – particularly with josie’s cooker. they sang together, played boats together, messed up my nicely ordered fimo shelves together!!!

The older girls also played all day with no fuss. mostly playmobil [of which SB now wants loads] fran made a lovely game of fairies, with them all re-enacting a fairy book. other games played.

in fact it was a pretty much perfect day. why wouldn’t be true?
