Feeling down in the mouth

My assistant manager was on holiday last week, so I had to work six full days and what an horrendously busy week it was too. I woke up this morning and still had to do my weekly figures and enter my stock control. 'Tis great to be able to work unpaid at home! I am so fed up I think I can't do this for much longer, certainly not another summer season. Coupled with the business of the shop I have also had to suffer abuse from customers who are annoyed that I am trying to restock the shop which has been totally demolished. At least we are now closed for a couple of days. Thank goodness for Bank holidays.

Next Saturday we will be off on our holiday to the Lake District. Carol and Dave phoned last night to say that they had arrived there and it is a nice caravan site with it's own dog walk. We will be joining them for their second week. It can't come soon enough.

It'll be nice to see the the four dogs enjoying themselves together. Annie has been a teenage delinquent lately. We have had a bird's nest in the garden and one of the chicks has been learning to fly, except that Annie has had it in her mouth three times that we know of. She has brought it into the house twice. At least she has been gentle and it doesn't seem any worse for being carried up our stairs by the young whippet!

Sorry to hear that you have been so overworked; it isn't surprising that you are feeling fed-up! I hope you have a great holiday and come back feeling really refreshed.

Take care.
