Make me feel better.

I took a photo to upload on an app as needed it for an agency (extra job) . Luckily I noticed the tag at the front as had my jumper on inside out 🤣🙈 It's health care. They'd be signing me up for a carer!

Not mine but my sister did this on Monday and we are still laughing at her!

She had a meeting with a new customer in a coffee shop. All phone contact and never met him face to face before.

She was waiting for him and slightly annoyed he was running late.

A flustered man walked in looking around around so she approached him and asked if he was Tom?

He said yes so she introduced herself and asked him what he was drinking and ordered him a coffee and he sat down.

Little bit of small talk nice Christmas, did the kids enjoy it, traffic being bad etc. All of which he answered.

It was only when she mentioned the purpose of the meeting that he said "you seem very nice and it's lovely chatting but I don't know who are. Have you got me mixed up with someone else?"

The "Tom" she was supposed to me had texted her to reschedule but she never checked her phone as she thought she was talking to him!

He let her waffle on for about 10 minutes!

This is hilarious: I can only imagine the poor man's confusion, but being too polite to ask what was going on... 😁

I dropped my daughter off at nursery and hung my gym kit on her peg and arrived at the gym to find tiny leggings, tops, nappies and wipes in my bag yesterday morning…. Both were just in tote bags.

Dropped my book while reading in bed this morning, then bashed my face on the corner of the bedside cabinet when I leaned over to pick it up.

I now have a split lip and a bruise on my chin!

Complained to Deliveroo about only receiving half of a footlong sandwitch and being reimbursed, completely forgetting I'd put the other half in the fridge where DH found it the next morning 😆.
