I started the next antijunk challenge yesterday. It’s a scavenger hunt. I have specified that items found must be able to be thrown out and that no-one is allowed to raid the dispensary for items starting with Z. Everyone has a beautifully decorated box to put their hoards in. I am fairly certain that my [...]

spunky junk
The spunk junk punk slogan won the competition. I will have to make a banner to hang up in the pharmacy somewhere…
In other news, the lifesize cardboard cut out of Dawn Fraser standing near the door of the pharmacy has only fallen over once today. She fell over at least 10 times on Tuesday and [...]
time is running out!
You only have a day and a little bit to cast your votes! And help me think of what the next challenge will be. It will be starting Friday night sometime…
In other news, there are only two days left til the weekend which sadly looks set to be somewhat hectic. Gah.
However I have had [...]
you be the jury
A few Fridays ago at work I started a junk removal campaign for the pharmacy. Most pharmacies have stuff dating back to when they first opened (and often even before that time somehow). My pharmacy is about 86 years old so you can imagine there is an awful lot of stuff taking up space and [...]
and down we go again
So yes, having my last hurrah of freedom before week 1 of crazy work month. I used today to sleep in, eat skittles and coco pops, read 3 chalet school books and half of an Angela Brazil book (inferior to CS!) and go to church. In a world record, the service went for a mere [...]
where’s yay?
Well at this moment yay is sitting on the balcony in the sun. She will likely stay there for a while until it’s time for an afternoon nap.
The yay family are all away. The parents have gone away til Tuesday for a little holiday and the brother is up the coast on a youth leaders’ [...]
survivor: pharmacy
I feel like I am on my own reality show where I have to survive working at too many pharmacies over a one month challenge period. For the next month my week will look like this: Monday: normal work, Tuesday: normal work, Wednesday: 6 hour shift at nasty work from last year but with nasty [...]
Finally!
I’m terribly sorry for my tardiness. I have been awfully busy (that phrase would not be permitted at the chalet school as it hasn’t really been awful) and this is the first time I have switched on my computer since Monday! Let alone been motivated enough to put photos on the net.
So, my WISE parcel [...]
home
Have spent the last 36 or so hours rediscovering the joys of logs (the mathematical type, and those that you sit on while watching other people play volleyball), trigonometry, geometry and trinomials. I never thought I’d have to do algebraic long division again when I finished high school. But somehow, six years later, it all [...]
am I first?
To receive my WISE parcel? I had no idea! I even read the clue in question!
Photo and info will follow tomorrow but in the meantime, thank you to Tractorgirl for a taste of Canterbury and Make Poverty History!
In other news, this evening the first passing car actually STOPPED at the pedestrian crossing to let me [...]
