Okay, thought I would fess up about my latest nutty escapades. *takes a deep breath*
First one was about 2 months ago, yes, I have been holding it in all that time. Becky knows but she is the only one!
I had a shopping trolley full after a weekly shop, (how come the "weekly" shop never lasts a week?), and approaching the sliding doors to be released from Tesco's foyer I saw a lady on the other side coming in. I stopped to let her come through and she stopped at the same time. I smiled and started forward, and so did she. Yup, the dance of the trolleys. I stopped again and waved for her to come through, and this is when it slowly dawned on me. The lady waved. Looking closer I realised that actually there was no one there, no one that is apart from my shadow! Trouble is, I am a giggler, and once I start its not always easy to stop. So not only am I trying to wave myself through glass doors, I am giggling helplessly as I finally burst through them into the car park.
The next incident happened only yesterday. I blame this one on my friend Rachel, and the happy chappy in the health food shop.
Had a lovely coffee morning with one of my best friends, we have a dog walk followed by a good old cup of tea though. The conversation turned to aches and pains and Rach mentioned that her mum has taken cod liver oil throught her life and has no creaks and groans. I am getting very stiff in the hip and knee area and decided that maybe I should start taking some too. I was in Yate and being tired desperate to avoid the monstrosity that is Tesco (foyer, escalator and then a shop the size of a small country, with the bread and milk being at the furthest corner!) , so popped into the health food shop. The chap saw me dithering and asked if I need help, and pointed me in the direction of the cod liver oil. Whilst he was serving another customer I looked at the array of products. He then came over and asked what I was looking for. "Cod liver oil at Tesco prices" was my reply. Ha ha. Nope, won't get that here. We chatted about whether I should have plain old cod liver oil, or have added calcium, glucosamine etc. 400mg, 550 or 1000. Such a choice. He picked up the 1000 dose, and showed me the bottle. This is where the madness took over. Man, those tablets were big! I looked at them and neighed. Yup, neighed. Loudly. He was shaking the bottle making the tablets rattle and i picked up a smaller bottle and shook them, saying "I'll just trot in for some tablets which are also a meal". We were killing ourselves laughing and then he said "I remember you from the last time you came in!" Notoreity at last. I said "oh yes, the menopause stuff. Its so good I haven't had to use it, I just look at it on the window sill and it does the job!" I have had to promise him that if I ever darken their doorway again I will try and behave. Not much chance of that lol. Sometimes I just can't help myself ..........
By the way. I never did get those cod liver oil tablets.
