Busy days! At the Hospice we are having our office Christmas party on Saturday night, about 100 persons attending. Then on the following Monday we are having Carols by Candlelight with about 200 persons expected. Today vollie Gwen and I were sent out armed with a shopping list that was three pages long. Four hours later we had managed to get most of the items; the rest I have to pick up tomorrow.
For my other job, Melissa is taking a month off from Christmas. During this time the Sales/Accounts office will be closed for phone calls, we will only be dealing with enquiries/sales via email – this will be my job. So I’ll be checking the emails every day and otherwise taking it easy. Hopefully we’ve seen the last of the speed issues we’ve been having lately, and nothing else happens to cause unhappy customers.
I have finished most of my Christmas shopping! I don’t know yet what I’m doing for Christmas. I have to go into work on Christmas eve (Hospice), but have the rest of the week off. Hubby will most likely be working. Bah humbug.
Another busy day yesterday, traipsing around Ipswich looking for a place that sells Bingo cards. Put up another tree at Riverlink, bought the last of our items on the shopping list, and picked up a gas bottle. I was worn out! But it didn’t go unappreciated – boss Gayle said we’d go out for a coffee when it was all over, and boss Ros thanked me and said I was a Godsend 🙂
Four hours of searching for Bingo cards came up fruitless, but Gwen is going to get her bingo club to donate some of theirs.
