The pain of a thousands daggers goes through my heart, I feel uneasy on my feet. I suppose, I have no one else to blame for this but myself. I am responsible for my own actions. I knew this would upset me but I didn't realise how much. I tear up the mini statement and throw it in the big blue bin. I should have learnt by now not to take out mini statements when it's more than two weeks to pay day. It can only be depressing.
I trudge from the cash machine towards Tesco. As i walk towards the entrance, I notice someone on her mobile who looks a bit like random work colleague #4534. I'm usually quite good when it comes to recognising people. I normally go by the rule that if I have to think "Is it them?" then is usually isn't. As I get closer, I am still not sure. I check for #4534's distingushing features - this girl seems a bit thinner and she doesn't have those Pete-Burns-lips which could be used to stick her to a white board. That makes her too dis-similar, I decide without a shaddow of doubt that it is merely a look-a-like.
The girl waves at me. I wave back.
I come to the conculsion that is must be my work colleage.
I wander aimlessly around the aisles, trying to find a John West Tuna Light Lunch - French Style. And then I turn a corner and am greeted by #4534 with a half full basket. "Wow that was quick" I said, "I only saw you by the door a few minutes ago and you've done all this shopping. You must be possessed. And you've changed from a green skirt to black trousers and I've just realised the person I waved at by the door probably wasn't you."
So:
Did I wave at someone who was waving at someone else?
Did I wave at someone who knows me but I didn't recognise?
Does she has an evil twin sister?
Have I suddenly got strange women waving at me in Tesco car park?
Is that the Lynx effect?
And to make matters worse, Tesco have put up the price of four pints of milk. It now costs and extra 5p. So if Tesco sells fifty containers of milk a day in it's 3000 stores nationwide and Train B leaves Cleethorpes at 15:17 and is travelling at 35 km/h on a straight track. Does my bum look big in this?
