As part of my Over To You theme, I was asked by Laura from Life With Baby Kicks about my worst ever customer. I’ve had my share of drunken idiots (I work in a pub). These range from people who think they know everything about running a bar simply because they’ve been in one, to … [Read more…]
As part of my Over To You theme, Claire over at Life, Love and Dirty Dishes sent me a list of questions which I will answer below. Thanks Claire. Is Marmite some sick twisted spread that pretends to look like chocolate spread or a little piece of heaven on toast? It’s definitely evil … [Read more…]
Why is everything so difficult these days? I don’t mean any of the things that should be difficult. I mean the simplest things that are made difficult by a combination of over complicating the process and human incompetency. It seems lately everywhere is the same. Standards are slipping daily across so many different customer based … [Read more…]

I think it’s fair to say I have a bit of an obsession with Yankee Candles. I was in town a couple of days ago and I found myself, as usual, wanting to buy more. I was good though and resisted the urge! I think I’m already at the point of having too many (is … [Read more…]
What I see when people spread rumours! As a barmaid, it seems my life is open for discussion and judgement by every customer who walks through the door. Apparently, working in this industry means my life is fair game, and the bits they don’t know (which is most bits) they just make up and spread … [Read more…]
As part of my Over To You theme, @cuddlefairy has requested a post about happiness and positivity. I thought I would write a list of five things that make me happy. 1. It being summer I love everything about summer. The sunshine, it being light for longer, the BBQs, the cocktails, the smell of … [Read more…]
