That's pretty laid back. Going out for A potato.
Indeed, and as it's mainly for wifey I get a point.
But actually, I bought 3 potatoes in the end.
1 tomato.
1 onion.
1 raddish
4 litres of milk.
Half an egg.
1 pound of chicken chunks.
1 pound of beef mince.
1 litre cooking oil
8 toilet rolls
And I lose a lot of points for buying 200 cigarettes.:)

Busy day today.
Workmen are here to install heat-reflective tinting on our south-facing windows. They were an hour late (did not call). Even though one of the guys had been here before, they missed the house twice before figuring out which one it is. Now one has left to go get "supplies." Humph.
I am not impressed.
I would be be annoyed too .
Except for today, when i am being Angelic.:)

So....They remembered the spray bottle and sqeegee?
Yes.
But they've dripped water (solvent?) all over my wood laminate floor. When i remarked, the guy said they were wiping it up as they go. I would much rather they have set down a plastic painters' cloth of some sort- they're cheap at Lowe's. I grabbed some paper towels and wiped it up. The second guy keeps asking the first guy lots of questions.
Hubby is at court serving as a character witness for a friend who is in the midst of a nasty divorce/custody battle, so I don't want to bother him.

i will drink my tea, think Temperate thoughts and try to chill out. o_O

Hubby met the franchise manager (the guy who went to get the "supplies") at a Chamber of Commerce Meeting. He came over to the house and showed us photos of the company's jobs, discussed what they do and lots of options.Very nice young man who seemed to know what he's doing. We always like to support LOCAL businesses rather that the big nation-wide corporations.

But there are plenty of "nice" people who don't know how to manage a business well. :( In all fairness, I did not manage my private practice well and lost a good bit of money some years ago. :(

It is quite difficult, isn't it ?
I will try not to think about how i would react.
