Garden Centre Madness.....

That there picture over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is the photo I took last summer of the plant outside me back door.......

Ok...........busy busy day today, and such a funny day at that, they say laughter is the best cure for everything, I dont know about that, but after today and yesterday I do know that me sides ache so very much, Ive laffed so so much this past couple of days, and I mean laffed stupidly so that the giggles and tears just kept rolling lol

I should write about today, but instead I will try and finish me story of what happened yesterday......

So Me and me matie Ann, with 2 babies in tow and 4 YES 4 barely walking tots (6 under 2s all told), bundle into me car with a boot full of buggys (strollers) and head for Keydell Garden Centre which is about 6 miles away...... its got birds and a pond there also, so its fun for everyone..... and a coffee shop to die for......

Mission.... to buy 5 blue and 5 yellow polys for me poo buckets.....plus anything else that took me fancy, which is always loads lol.... they will only be planted in there a few weeks before I change them again, I change them with the seasons lol.......

So we get there, plonk a baby in each buggy and have 2 each holding onto the sides..... easy right? so first problem...... how can we carry all the plants we want with all these nippers......... ok...... so I grab one of them garden centre sort of trolleys with the 2 wheels and the oblong handle, and I say, look Ann, if Hilary our blind friend can push a baby in a buggy with a toddler in tow and a blind dog and get her shopping, I can pull a garden centre trolley whilst pushing the baby buggy with 2 tots in tow.... HAVE YOU EVER TRIED THAT lol.......... after struggling for about 5 minutes with kids everywhere and buggies and trolleys running people down, and quite a few choice words from people...... I hatch a plan........ :) - now you must understand me matie Ann, when we are together we laff and laff ...... so me plan was...... if I hooked the handle of the trolley over the handle of the baby buggy like it was a horse and cart and I stood in the little gap in between then I would be able to pull the trolley and push the buggy at the same time......... problem one, getting in between the trolley and the buggy with me dodgey knee, omg, it was just the funniest..... and of course I then got stuck in the tiny gap and it was impossible to actually walk.... mission failed.... by this time.... Im stuck in the gap the babies are screaming and the 4 tots have made a run for it........ Ann is creased up on the floor laffing so hard that she is useless to me struggle to try and climb out with me dodgy knee that wont bend, Ann had visions of me falling backwards into the trolley which in turn would flip up which would then flip the buggy up into the air with the babies flying everywhere...... omg omg, it was just so funny........ I suppose its one of those times that YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE......

The nursery bloke had to come to our rescue, actually 3 of them, 2 to gather all the kids up and one to dislodge me from me stuck postion LMFAO...... they also ended up laffing til they cried.......

Why oh why cant I just have a normal day out like everyone LOL

So that was yesterday.......... and the below writtings are from our trip to the same garden centre a few weeks ago, prior to me knee op.......... friends aye..... ya just gotta love em.......

Ok, so I dropped off 4 at infants and 2 at pre-school which left me the baby and a 3 year old.... so I nip round to me maties Ann and pick her up with the 2 she has and then round to sharons to pick her up with 1 she had left........ cos I well have had cabin fever this past fortnight.......

So we nipped up into town to do a bit of banking and then off to Keydell which is a big garden centre place in Horndean, there is also a pond there with ducks and birds etc, so it would be good for the nippers to..... oh and a lovely coffee shop in the old victorian house there........

When we get there, I park up and shove the baby in a buggy.... and walk through the main doors.... omg right at the entrance is a couple of wheelchairs..... well you need to know that my maties ann and sharon have the same sick warped sense of humour that I do.... and when we are together we laff at the most ridiculas things... and its such a riot..... and god I so needed to laff this week...... so, anyways.... Ann says..... shit they have cripple vehicles.... quick Mel get in one and we can practise for when you old and crippled and if this op goes pear shaped......

So I jump in one of the wheelchairs and sit Ellis on me lap and sharon pushes me, we are giggling it was so funny..... they bump me down the bloody steps into the greenhouse where we shouldnt of been for a start and I tumble out in a heap clutching Ellis for dear life.......

so Ellis gets wise to this and decides to walk, by then, Im thinking, I quite like this being pushed around lol and pointing at plants and making retarded guggling noises and being allowed to dribble without a care.....

Well..... the garden centre is all but empty, sort of inbetween seasons ya see....... so Ive already got me pockets full of cuttings, cos we didnt have money to buy anything..... well only money for a coffee..... and they think its funny to tip the wheelchair backwards with me still in it and lay it down on the floor.... so there I am in amongst the shrubs laying on me back in a wheelchair with me legs in
the air..... and they fucking disappear, I can hear them giggling....... OH THEY THOUGHT IT WAS VERY FUNNY....... cos from that position there is no way I could get up...... so I start to shout.....HELP HELP laffing...... and this man that works there comes running out of the greenshouse all in a fluster... real worried and
concerned LMFAO HAHAHAHAHAHA...... he lifts the wheelchair back up to my relief and asks if Im ok, with which I get out the chair and stand up and brush meself off....... ya should of seen his face....... it was just soooooooo funny....... he took the wheelchair off me and said a few choice words....... me maties had scarpered with the kids and I found them laffing in the coffee shop.......THE
BASTARDS.......

So endith me 2 trips to the garden centre within 3 weeks........ my god help us... or mores the point, my god help them lol...... I think there is talk of us being banned from there....... :)

Ok more then enough twaddle for today....
