Yes, I know, the ethics of supermarkets are well dodgy, but I had just spent an hour in Asda tonight, buying £97.89 worth of 'stuff,' including loaves of bread reduced to 0.01p ('whoops!') and a pair of black boots for £36 (looked about £80). When the girl had rung everything through the till and packed it all into bags, I had a flashback of Hugh playing with my purse earlier today, pulling out the plastic cards and the 'moneys.'
And, no, of course he didn't put it back in my bag. Of course not. He left it on a corner of the living room carpet, just so I could feel like a feckless dimwit in Asda. And it was one minute to ten and the store was closing and the poor workers had to put it all back on the shelves.
Ah well, the moon was gorgeous when I drove home. Just under a full moon, or just past. I can't tell - if it's waxing or waning. Lovely anyhow.

Oh... I feel for you but also sort of glad to read this as quite the same happened to me a week ago here in Helsinki. I can tell the young guy working at the cashier did not especially like me at the time. And I did not have a full moon on my way home (well, summer nights don't yet get that dark up here). But quite a nice sun set though. ;)
Take care, like reading your blog every now and then! (Can't even really remember how I found my way here in the firts place though...)
Nightmare, C!
Not as bad but wasn't concentrating & tried to pay for groceries with my library card last week... Am curious about boots for £36, must get myself to an ASDA!
You have saved nearly £100 - exellent! Just think what you can spend that on now even if you have nothing to feed your children...
Ooh, that made me laugh out loud properly - been there too, and back then I had a very voluable laddie who thought it would be a good idea to shout very loudly that he would *STARVE 'coz mummy's got no money* - I'm going pink just remembering - he was the one that *posted* the card down the side of the chair!!
Oooh that made me laugh out loud properly, same thing years ago with a loud laddie who decided to let the shop know he was going to *STARVE 'coz mummy's no money!* I feel pink just remembering - and it was his posting skills downthe side of the chair that caused the problems!!
