Ooops we did it again!!!

I wonder if any of you guys have done this too, I can't believe we are the only ones.

Let me know your story?

We like to feed the birds in our garden and we try to do this every day but we don't get nice little bird in the garden, no we get fecking great big bloody pigeons and they are far from under nourished too. The poor little birds land and as soon as that happens the pigeons are there and the little birds fly off, it's like they are stalking them and defending there territory, well I say it's my fecking territory so sling your flipping hook.

I get in from work today and Alex it at the end of his tether, he says to me "we are going to the garden centre and getting a bird feeder that the pigeons can not feed from the dirty little B%*&*!DS". so after quickly having a cup of tea, getting changed, reading my blog (to see I still have no more followers) and putting my shoes on we went off in the car to the local garden centre.

Our garden centre has changed the way you have to go into the place now, you have to enter via the outside planting area and go past several doors which no longer open to get inside, then you have to go around the whole shop to get to the tills.
Now as we have all guessed this is because they want us all to see as many products as possible before getting to the tills.

Well we fell for it again hook, line and sinker.
Off we went round and seen some deals just for the gardening club members (which we are) yay, we saw a lovely rose (very pretty) which we must have, then a deal on grow bags which I needed for my tomato plants.
I sent Alex off to get a trolley as we needed one now and when he came back I had found a END OF SEASON SALE CORNER, well be both practically ran over to it and barged passed people to get to it, within seconds we had managed to disperse all that were there looking and settled in for a good rummage.

I was at one end of this sale and Alex the other, I found two wonderful Clematis and he found a beech tree that he has always wanted to have, great.
So off we go into the inside garden centre to pay when I came across a archway, great we have wanted one of them for ages and it was reduced to Members, the only thing was it was the last one and it was open and we could not be sure it had all the parts in it.

Anyway we took all these things to the till and before starting I explained the issue with the arch to the assistant, the young girl said she would have to go and get her manager and see what to do.
About ten minutes later she came back and had a new box with this arch in that she had been told was outside, we had this one instead which Alex was a bit dismayed at as he wanted me to haggle about the price and get a tenner taken off it.

We finished at the till having paid almost £60 pounds all in all and happily left to put the things in the car. we were very nearly there when I turned to Alex and laughed, he turned to me and asked why I was laughing and I said that we had come out with all this lovely stuff but had not got the one thing we had come to get, The Bird Feeder.
Oh no he shouts and I say lets go back in and get one and with that we both turned around to go back in and what do we see, the man from the garden centre locking the gates. The shop has closed and we were the last ones out, bugger!!!!!!!!!!

Moral of the story: make a list, take it and get only what you need.
However we will have a lovely garden but very hungry little bird and very fat pigeons.

A true story from Tony
with love.

You can all do better and start leaving me some comments or at least tick one of the boxes at the bottom here.
