Having one of those days!

Have you ever had one of those days when something happens to make you laugh? You know, the kind of laugh that would otherwise be a cry! Last night, having come in from work where the children I work with had made me laugh with their usual antics, I decided to have a beer. Having opened the can and poured it into the glass without too much fuss, I opened the bin to place the empty can in. So far so good. On looking in I discovered that the bin was full so I lifted the bag only for it to get caught on the handle of the bin. (We have one of these pedal bins with the inside bit.) The bag ripped, so I dropped it back in and tried to find another bit to grab. I got it up so far but it ripped again. After another two efforts and a now very torn bag, I eventually got the bag out. But packets and cans and sweetcorn were balanced precariously at the top and I was using all of my will power to keep all of this from spilling over. As I lifted the bag carefully, it ripped again, this time all over the kitchen floor! Sweetcorn, pot noodle tubs and things I don't even want to think about spewed onto the floor as in desperation I tried to salvage as much of the bag as possible. The bag was now beyond redemption though and I had to simply accept the inevitable carnage it was going to cause. With a sigh I reached for the brush and shovel, knelt down, and accepted my punishment for buying cheap bags. After a few rude words and a feeling sorry for myself, I chuckled because I had to or I would have cried. And I thought two things. Isn't life wonderful? And never, ever, again buy cheap bags!
