......i've let myself down

.....me 'n' luke have been on a mission for provisions and a hair cut... clearly both essential. imagine the drama when due to the snow sainsburys car park was bedlam - clearly all the people who couldn't get their cars off their drives to get to work had miraculously got their cars off their drives and all headed for flippin' sainsburys! we drove away! we headed for the co-op (formerly known as bells) to find shock horror!! no milk!! we stocked up on bread, nearly out of date ham and bogoff cheese... well we have no idea when we might get the chance again... i could feel the tension and suspense mounting inside... what! no milk! we headed for the co-op (that has always been the co-op).... yes... you guessed... no milk! oh my goodnes what could we do! only a pint left in the house and the prospect of black tea looming! my mate pete would say "deny yourself the milk, it is produced through evil satanic means" (((and maybe it is... hmmmm))). but the drive now to have milk was too great to turn back... luke suggested the paper shop! "don't be a fool" i yelled in a frenzy and cuffed the back of his head for good measure. but what was i to do - it was worth a try.... we entered quietly... unable to gather our thoughts around the prospect of no milk. we turned down the aisle. and there like the holy grail itself were 5, yes 5, 4 pint cartons of milk.... now i have to be honest i panicked. what if someone got there first! there were two other people in the shop so that was fine but what if others entered. i hurled myself toward the fridge... and then it happened... and i am ashamed... i am disgusted... i must tell you to purge myself of the guilt.....

i panic bought..........

...i only needed one four pint carton,,,, it would have been enough,,,, but something seized upon me... maybe the primeval urge of needing to be able to provide for my family or... i know not what... but.... i did it.... i bought two, yes two, four pint cartons of milk. i'm ashamed. what if someone out there is now without because i am with, what if someone has little while i have plenty....

...turns out all is well the co-op are expecting a delivery at 4 ....the shit you find out in the hairdressers!
