We went out for lunch at a lovely little cafe, attached to a very nice organic food shop. While we were there we bought a local style fruitcake, to send over to our exchange students family, along with other English delicacies (local tea, Cadbury's chocolate and local cheese). Will get those packaged up and posted in the morning. along with all the Squishes I am going to finish making tonight :-)Then I had the bright idea, that we could carry on into town and visit the large stationary shop to buy the bits and bobs still needed for the exchange student, and to see if they had any suitable card for making my 100 Good Wishes Quilt wishes. We got all the stationary bits and had a good look round the rest of the shop, I was just looking at the wide selection of card stock they had, when the inevitable happened Little Prince announced he wanted the toilet! Went to the cashier and she said there were no toilets in store that we could use (obviously ones for the staff - but not for a desperate four year old!!) and the only ones in the whole shopping centre, were in the shop right at the far end of the place!! So me and Little Prince set off at a rather fast gallop to find the toilets, eventually found it (yes there was only ONE!!) and stood in the queue behind the slowest people ever!! Poor Little Prince was jiggling about, crossing and uncrossing his legs and holding on for all he was worth!! When we'd finally had our turn and walked all the way back to the first shop, I refused to buy the stationary from there, and we got it all from a supermarket on the way home!! Why don't shops understand - keep the customers happy and they will spend more money!!!!
