I was at our shop this morning for 3:40 am to get it dusted, polished and broomed ready to open at 8.
Several shelves and tables had to have everything taken off, dusted and polished and each individual item dusted then put back on.
There are hundreds of individual items! There are 8 shelves I just can’t reach as I’m only 5‘1 tall so I had to leave those, but everything else was done.
I have rheumatoid and osteoarthritis and a permanently damaged bad back and menopause. I’m in 24/7/365 pain but it needed doing ready for the 2nd of January. We were closed on the 29th, open today on the 30th and the 31st, closed the 1st January then open from Friday onwards.
I made a mug of PG Tips and took 2 Paracetamol then got started and I finished a couple of minutes to 7! Hubby arrived about 7:20. He was really pleased with what I’d done as he know I seriously struggle with deep cleaning because of the pain.
So hubby and I went to Spar, which is just around the corner from us, and did some shopping, had a laugh with Mary, the supervisor who served us.
It’s now 1:36pm and we’ll be closing at 4.
I’m absolutely knackered but it’s a good type, not a bad one, so when we got home we’ll have microwave dinners, make up 2 hot water bottles each and crash to bed!
