Stuck!

....wonders how many times an intelligent woman can super glue her fingers together in one day before she is considered an idiot? Im hoping the answer is two! lol

You might be forgiven for thinking Im a cheapskate but...

Well I'm laughing now, but funny how I didnt see it coming...

Most weekends I find myself routinely wandering over to the local shopping mall for coffee and to read the paper. Upon entering the centre there is always this little middle aged lady dressed in a Salvation Army uniform rattling her little white collection tin seeking donations. She has never actually asked for money, but we all know the drill. Collection tin = donation!

Anyway, (I need to preface this with self justifying ramble lol) the Savos are a great organisation, and I've never been one to avoid donating to charity; I sponsor a child, have regular monthly donations to charities, and heck my husband and I even work for charities! The only thing I resist is feeling obliged to give to everyone everytime they ask. Sooooo.... each weekend when I enter the shops I have found myself trying to look distracted.... by my watch.... my phone.... my shoes... a fly on the wall, whatever would help me avoid her gaze.

Now embarassingly this went on for months.... until... this weekend, when I was earlier than usual... and happened to notice this nice little old Salvo lady hobbling towards the entrance door with.... wait for it.... a white cane walking stick to assist her as she was blind and could NOT see! OMG too funny. Something straight out of a Mr Bean skit surely.

Happy Festivus everyone! :))
