Don't forget to push your trolley into the wall. By Bessie

Yesterday  Mummy decides she's going to have her hair done so she takes the mini humans to school and then her and Tom go to the hairdressers in Tesco where you don't need to make an appointment.  She doesn't like making appointments.   Mummy is a fly by the seat of her pants kind of person.  But the hairdressers doesn't open until ten so they go back down to the car park and get a trolley to do some food shopping.  

There is a massive sign at the top of the escalator that says "Push your trolley when you reach the end of the travellator."   So they read it out to each other in case either of them forgets that it's not a remote control trolley.   Bearing in mind they didn't really need anything from Tesco, they only went to kill time for an hour, this is what they bought:
A tent.
A box of plasters with animal prints on them.
A box of hayfever tablets.
4 pints of milk.
6 cartons of apple juice.
3 boxes of breakfast cereal.
2 bags of pasta.
A bottle of floor cleaner.
4 under bed storage boxes.

Apparently these were all essentials.

Then they went and put everything in the car then they sat in the car for a bit but Mummy couldn't get a signal on her phone in the underground car park and she was bored watching Tom tweeting so she said she would go to the toilet.   So they went back inside Tesco.   This time they pretended to be Russian and talked to each other very loudly in pigeon Russian.   They had to get on the travellator again cos it's the only way upstairs.   This often makes Mummy cross cos it is very slow and it takes ages to get to the top, especially of you are in a hurry.   Luckily they were in anything but a hurry so they didn't mind that there were two old men in front of them with trolleys.   The first old man obviously didn't read the sign that says "Push your trolley when you reach the end of the travellator" cos when he got to the end he just stood there and his trolley swung sideways, jamming itself across the end of the travellator so the second old man crashed into him and Mummy crashed into the second old man and Tom crashed into Mummy and the lady behind Tom crashed into Tom until eventually there were dozens of people all walking on the spot crashed into each other.  And finally the first old man managed to get his trolley facing the right way and he got off the travellator and everybody stopped walking on the spot and went into Tesco to do their shopping.   Oh how Mummy and Tom laughed, them said they were laughing before because people needed reminding to push their trolley, now them think maybe the sign needs to be bigger.

Then them went to the hairdressers and the girl says she'll phone them if a stylist turns up.   Turns out there was only supposed to be one hairdresser in there today but she phoned in sick.   So Mummy gives the girl her number and they go off to waste a bit more time.   But them has nothing to do so them just wanders round the shops for an hour then them gives up waiting for the hairdresser to phone.  Anyway Mummy says her window of motivation was very small and it's gone now.  So they go home and sort out all the lego in Bryn's room into the new storage boxes instead.  We help by looking out of the window for robbers and biting the lego mini figures.

Then Mummy went to pick up Katie and Bryn from school and Tom stayed home and looked after us.   Katie notice Mummy didn't get her hair done so Mummy tells her what happened and Katie says why don't they go now.  So them go to the hairdressers and there is a different woman there and Mummy asks if the hairdresser is there now.   The lady says she is the hairdresser so Mummy asks if she can have a cut and colour.   "Not at this time of day," the lady tuts, looking meanfully at her watch.   It's only 3.20pm and the hairdressers doesn't close til 8pm.
"If someone had phoned me back at ten would you have been able to do it?"  Mummy asks.
"Of course," says the lady, "But we were very busy."
Hmmmm.   Not very good service if you ask me.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter."  Says Mummy and they walk off.
"It does really matter,"  Whispers Katie over 50 fields and her and Mummy stomp across the shop complaining loudly about poor customer service and generally being treated crappily by people.

Today Katie has gone to Nando's for her friends birthday.   The rest of the humans had snossijs and mash but they didn't share with us.   They know that's our favourite.
