this doesn't happen every day?

saturday morning and i'm along the street to tile a kitchen floor for an old couple who i talk to on a regular basis,they have just had the house renovated(home happening) where the council replace the kitchens and bathrooms.anyway i'm thinking i'm turning up to do a 6m2 kitchen floor,sounds good,tiled by lunchtime,watch the footie results then round to grout.wrong!!!!!!!!
when i get round there jim has one of those looks on his face as if theres something wrong i get the feeling the job isn't about to go ahead.he invites me in offering a tea or coffee then says he has a little problem.oh no! i start to think.he then explains him and his old lady couldn't find tiles they could agree on for the kitchen floor and ask if i would mind doing the bathroom instead,there's daft me thinking i'm doing the bathroom floor until i walk up the stairs to see about 20 boxes of tiles sitting in the hall landing(it ended up 16m2 walls and 3m2 on the floor) .
to sum it up i turn up on saturday morning thinking i've got a nice saturday job then the weekend is mine and end up working till 9pm on saturday and 8.30pm on sunday,jobs done lets go home and have a beer!
walks through the door to see my other half looking rather displeased(strange when she must know i've a pocket full of cash).nope guess who forgot st.valentines day completely😳

i can be rather forgetful but not stupid,the old boy gave me more than i asked for thinking i was doing him mates rates and wouldn't have any of it so i ended up with about a £60 tip
