Sorry For The Lack Of Posts

Sorry I have not been blogging for a while – this is caused by multiple things…. Work being busy as people are off on Annual Leave, (Maria and Pat) and I am covering the till. I have another bloody UTI and Radio stuff. However, I am still alive, (just) and will be back to full blogging mode soon.

However, I will quickly show off my new desk at work… It’s at the end of the Sort Table and allows me to do what I need to do, without having to hog the kitchen table. I am even getting a new chair soon, which is the chair in the office. (Once Bethan gets a new one sorted)

Of course, Splodge is doing my head in… She won’t leave the chains alone on the Cuckoo Clock, but you still have to love her. 🙂 Speaking of the Cuckoo Clock, I am going to email the clock repair man in Blackpool and book him to come and fix it.

Making Lucy Crease Herself With Laughter!

Today was very busy. I finally got round to clearing the top of the lockers. Unfortunately there was loads of cardboard and other rubbish up there, as well as the costumes for fundraising and the Resussi Annie Doll. The costumes got boxed and put on top of the lockers, along with the Resussi Annie Doll. It looks alot better. It took ages to sort out and it meant taking loads of cardboard this down to the bins. This took several trips.

We also managed to tidy the Work Room. This took quite a bit of work as well and meant taking loads down to the bins. Our bin shed is now full to the brim. Thankfully tomorrow, I will be putting the bins out, so we will get getting rid of loads and loads of rubbish. The Work Room won’t stay tidy for long, as we are always getting donations and I am sure that we will be getting a delivery of more stuff in the coming days!

Tidied Stock Room

I did manage to do some work on the shop floor, as well as my normal cleaning duties and sorting out the locker room. I served customers and tidied up the shop floor at the same time. We also did all the Health and Safety Checks, which included the Fire Alarm Test.

Then, I managed to make Lucy crease herself with laughter. While I was cleaning the toilets, (at the end of the day) Dirty Blondes kept coming on our radio channel. The 1st message was about an order for table 23. Then when I was downstairs, I heard them call: “Hello hello hello?”

I could not help myself and had to sing Adele down the radio. “Hello, it’s me, I’ve ordered a Pepperoni Pizza and I’m sat at table 23!” This made Lucy almost wet herself with laughter! For me this was very quick whited and extremely hilarious. I wonder what Dirty Blondes thought or if they realized it was us having some fun with them? 😂😂😂😂

It just proves, we have far too much fun at the British Heart Foundation! 😂😂😂😂😂

Open The Handbag

So I went to Peek-a-booze tonight and sung a few songs on karaoke. At the end of the night, I got to play open the handbag and won a free shot!

my pc is acting up again, so posting on my phone. Of course Splodge is being nosey and wants to know what I’m doing!

A Tribute To The Late Prunella Scales

With the sad passing of Prunella Scales today – who was amazing in Fawlty Towers. She played Sybil Fawlty – the Matriarch of the Hotel, bossing her Husband Basil around and often beating up Mr O’Riley, who is the Cowboy Builder; that Basil often employs to do odd jobs round the hotel. However, he always seems to “botch” any work that Basil gets him to do, infuriating Cybil and often resulting with several slaps from her handbag!

I got Chat GPT to make this tribute to her. It is a image of her stood behind the Reception Desk in Heaven, checking in those that have recently arrived.

Rest in Peace Prunella. xx

If you have not seen Fawlty Towers, watch the below video, which is where Sybil attacks O’Riley!!!

If you want my favourite Fawlty Towers Moment, it has to be the scene in the episode “The Germans”, where Basil insults the German Guests and does the silly walk! “Horderves… Horderves…  Which must be obeyed at all times, without question!” 😂😂😂😂

UIT’s Suck!!!!

So I have a UTI at the moment. This is a Urinary Tract Infection. It has been caused by my catheter, which goes through the base of my belly. (Much better than up the other way) Trying to get a Doctors appointment is impossible these days.  I struggled at work and I managed to get a couple of jobs done, including a stock inventory of my cleaning supplies and cleaning the toilets. However, by 12m the pain was really bad and I really felt unwell, so I had to cave in and tell Lucy that I am not well enough to continue and had to go home sick.

I went up to Urgent Care at the Hospital to get seen and had my urine dipped. No surprise, it is full of bugs, so guess what? I am back on Antibiotics. 🙁

Hopefully tomorrow, I might feel a bit better and in less pain. I hope so, because I love my job and hate being off sick. Keep your fingers crossed. 🙂

Karaoke Capers @ Peek-A-Booze

Just had to share this  before bed. I know my “Work Wife” (Maria) is going to  kill me for posting this tomorrow !!! 😂 (Not literarily btw!) Bethan will probably say it’s sweet that I sang Maria a song. (And probably laugh!) 😂

So I was in Peek -A-Booze, which is a LGBT Cabaret Bar, here in Blackpool and as it was Karaoke, I decided to go down and sing Maria a song. ❤️ I did send it to her via WhatsApp btw! 😂 😂 😂

I love Peek-A-Booze, as it is such a fun bar and Ash is a brilliant Bar Maid! (Such a laugh!)
