Interesting turn of events....

Greetings all...
I was wondering about the place on Saturday, decided to pop in past the British Heart Foundation shop on the way home from the Alford Centre, had a look in past to price a bed for myself. On the way out I noticed the advert for "Looking for Volunteers" !!!! Chuckled to myself, as am unfit and fairly daft in the heid, but thought about it over the weekend, in the back of my mind, and figured, Go Ask!!

So Monday comes, I signed on, went down the street to the shop to enquire, told them there and then, am not the fittest of blokes, but I will do my best. So that was cool, got the leaflet and a application form, went to the Alford Centre, sat down and relaxed and filled it in, having a wee chuckle to myself again.... End of the day at Alford, we all leave and I wander down to the shop to say Hiya and hand over the form, Next thing I know is am getting introduced to the guy that does the furniture warehouse part, and then get told this guy "ME" is going to be helping you tomorrow!!!

SHOCKAROOOOONIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So anyways, of home I went, thinking to myself, ok, what do I need to do this.... So got home, had a cuppa, and got the shoes looked out, work trousers, comfy top and the bits of handy tool kit that I tend to use.... Done my other home stuff and off to bed...

Up earlyish, listened to the radio, done more house stuff and off I went, I WAS SOOOOO NERVOUS!!!!!, felt like going to work for the first time again.... heheeeee! Got there fine enough, the warehouse guy was fairly busy, so I listened in to grab the bits of convo, realised they had an incoming delivery, helped with that, had a chat wie the other guys and lassies, figured out that he was wanting an area cleared in the warehouse, was going to sus that out, knew he was going out for something, so afore he left he says, we are clearing the hallway when I get back.... Had some of that done as he was just back....

Then we gets started on the next days deliveries, some real heavy moving things, real sore, but happy enough, then the assistant manager asks me if I fancy doing some building Flat Pack, in jest I was like ... Yikes, but said, Yup, I will have a bash at that. So done that, wasnt a prob, just take time and do it proper. Got that done, was getting ready to do the next box, when the lass says, what ye think? call that a day ???? So I did ... after all, it was after 3pm ... heheeee

So here I am, seated at my loverly PC, thinking to myself......

"MY FRIGGING GOD..... MA LEGS ARE KILLING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

Talk about sore, I really need to get more mobile, anyways, I have a cuppa, wind coming thru the veranda door and am happy enough, really enjoyed the day, its funny to think I have though about " Using my spare time " before, but really never followed it up outwith "what I know"..... Just Shows You....

Hugz fae me!
