cash only

i had big plans for today but managed to sleep in... ah, what the heck, that's what holidays are for. today's big adventure was a trip to the supermarket and greengrocer. being a long weekend and with no stores open on good friday, it was shop today or spend the weekend scrounging in the cupboard and coming up with toast for breakfast, lunch and dinner...

in the supermarket, i had quite a trolleyful as i had run out of all of the basics - soap, shampoo, tp, moisturiser, toothpaste etc. so instead of using the usual express lane, i got into one of the regular checkout lines. only when i produced my amex to pay for it did i find out that it was a 'cash only' checkout. i pointed out that the signs saying so were not terribly obvious, only to be met by a chorus of 'ooh, yes it is' & 'ooh, there it is' from the gaggle of old ladies behind me. eek!! i was so close to letting them know that i had not invited them into a private conversation between myself and the checkout chick - of course that was NOT what i really wanted to say. i was amazed by my calm and that i did not say anything at all...

not again!! another solo day which is 10% of the RDDHA - this one was cute puppy wagging his long tail like crazy so i'm awarding 1000 bonus points...
