The more I do this job, obviously the more people you come into contact with. I always talk to people in shops etc but every time I step out the door old customers say hello and thenI'm left racking my brains as to who and what I did for them!

I'm terrible with names, but if they tell me what tile they had fitted I know exactly who they are.

Many moons ago I worked part-time behind the bar of a Top Rank dance hall. Often people would come up to me away from the dance hall and say Hello {quizical look from me} Don't you remember me? I was at the top rank last Saturday. Then of course I would recognise them from the 1750 other people that would have been there on the night.

I had a small moment like this, just this Wednesday gone in fact. I'm minding my own business, strolling back to my car after my lecture at uni on Wednesday afternoon (HR qualification) and somebody shouts my name. Now I really wish I could learn to not spin round when somebody shouts my name, because there must be other people in the near vicinity with the same name or similar. Anyways, I look up, and see this bloke a couple of cars away. I immediately recognise him as somebody I know but for a split second can't think of his name. And then another split second later I'm thinking it's somebody else but then the brain kicks in and thinks it can't possibly be the person I'm thinking of due to distance/job/etc. And then it dawns on me just as I'm about 6 feet away from this guy...............









It's only my EX fiance!

Well, it could have been an awkward moment, but I thought seen as he had obviously recognised me and shouted me, then I thought what the hell. Quick hug, the past 9 years in a nutshell, his missus is expecting their first baby in Feb, lives less than THREE miles away from me now, works near to where I used to work in Chester, and his wife's Uncle knows me from when I worked at JCB!!! OMG!

Smile sweetly, all the pleasantries, and said our goodbyes telling him to sign up to facebook, it's a great way of keeping up with everybody.

And before anybody asks, it was me who ended it. I realised I wasn't in love with him.

I can forget jobs and customers from weeks ago let alone months or years. If it's a one day job it goes in three or four weeks and I'm one for chatting to the customers.

My daughter starts upper school next September and there was an open day this Weds just gone. I bumped into 5 customers that night (2 want another bathroom done - woohoo), but I spent the next 2 days trying to remember all their names :mad2::mad2:.
