- Spent the week trying to cancel a Well Pharmacy appointment for a chicken pox vaccine. I called them multiple times a day but they never answered and eventually I called their head office who told me āsorry - youāll have to go into the pharmacyā. So on my day off (because the pharmacy is not open on weekends) I went down there. As I walked through the door I called them again. It was ringing but inside the chemist I could not hear a phone at all. āIs your phone working?ā I asked the pharmacist. She said āwhere even is our phone?ā. āI said, well Iām calling it right now, as I have been all week, and nobody has answered, which is why I am now here. Anyway I need to cancel a chickenpox vaccineā. She said āYou have to do that onlineā. I said āno i donāt. That is why Iāve been calling you all week and why Iām now in front of you nowā. She took my details and later on I got an email confirmation that they had cancelled the vaccination.
- This vaccination was already rescheduled once because we showed up for our appointment and they hadnāt ordered the vaccine in. I am giving up on Well Pharmacy. Weāll try a different way.
- On the way back from the pharmacy I went in every charity shop I could find to see if they had any suitably fancy clothes for a birthday party Iām going to. I didnāt find anything, but I did find a white linen Margaret Howell shirt for Ā£5.
- I think Iām going to use the vintage black velvet I picked up off the back of a house clearance and make it into a jumpsuit. I used to hate velvet because it reminded me of old sofas and all the crumbs and detritus found in between the cushions of them, but now I have grown š±.
- I had to have words with Cās nursery about one of the staff members always trying to tickle and cuddle E whenever sheās with me to pick him up. I actually had to push this woman away this time because she was sticking her tickly fingers in Eās neck E was clearly not happy about it. E told me after āgrown-ups are supposed to ask me before they touch meā and I thought ātoo fucking right babeā.
- C likes watching videos of F1 on our phones sometimes but yesterday he saw them crash and got really tearful. āThe cars cwashed mummy. The cars cwashed mummy š¢š„ŗā. My poor baby.
