oh dear...
I am turning into a grumpy old lady who moans about far too much far too often.
I used to be fun loving and care free (well not care free but you get the picture).
I got cross with another disabled class' teacher at Bluewater's Santa's grotto. Well they did try to push in front of us and WE HAD PRE-BOOKED!
People not parking in the correct places has wound me up no end that I found myself this morning sitting in the car (that I had just squeezed myself into as the van that had parked in the pedestrian walkway next to where my car was parked so bloody close to mine that the door opened exactly five inches)picking up my mobile phone and ringing the number on the side of the van (Don't piss me off and leave your contact details behind). So as I am ringing the 'head office' number the driver comes back. Sees me looking at his number plate to give to whoever answers the phone.
*facepalms*
I press the button for the window to go down:
Me: This your van?
Man: Yes.
Me: You realise you parked in a pedestrian crossing. That is not a bay.
Man: Oh. I thought it was a bay.
Me: DOES IT LOOK LIKE A BAY??? There are zebra crossings leading up to it from both directions and it has yellow lines in the middle of it to stop pricks like you from parking there because they can't be bothered to walk more that five feet to the entrance of the shop!
At which point I put the car in gear and drove off. Quickly.
What has gotten in to me?
On a brighter note, Santa was fab and the Kids really enjoyed going.
Off to write three annual reviews now. The joys of being a teacher...
Toodles!
psst! tagetes: parcel was posted this morning, they said 3-5 working days, so look out for it!
