Well what a day I've had. Up early cos Gwenda had to start work at 7 am. Today was Christmas launch and Santa was coming.
No time for chit chat at that hour, it was all go but just before Adrian took the trolley down the front I had my photo taken. What a nice young man he is - he's got a Christmas badge for every Christmas he's worked at Big W. Nice apron but it was last year's and he had to swap it for one made from eco-bag material - yuck.
Before the elves came to get the basket of lollies I got to have a pick - think Gwenda ate them all tho so she'll get fat and I won't :rolf but it would have been nice to taste Aussie chocolate.
Had to cool off in front of the fan tho - air conditioner is crap but it's even hotter out in the store itself. :hot :hot
Didn't get any free samples of the money after Gwenda and Rachel finished counting - thought I should get something for being a good bear but didn't happen. :(
Gwenda, Rachel and I went for a walk around the store to find Santa but he'd gone for a walk too. However we did catch up with his elves Michelle and Laura and then Santa was there with Vineet, so they were happy to have their pic taken with me - guess they don't often get bears from the UK visiting.
Before Gwenda went home I visited Rachel in the Fitting Rooms. She was so nice, letting me answer the phone but I couldn't :otp to Stu or Dizzi. Not fair I just wanted to say :hello
Jason on the door is quite a guy - not sure about some of his ideas for photo ops for me but this one was quite original. Jason talked Gwenda into asking the Area Manager for a piccy but he wouldn't be in it - he did pat my ear tho, so then it was off to find Franz. Gee he would have made a good Santa too.
Don't tell Gwenda, but while she was out of the office I had to have a bear nap cos there was so much activity in her office that I was completely knackered - guess it's only going to get busier with Christmas approaching - no wonder she eats so much chocolate lmao
Hope you've enjoyed my day as much as I did.
There's a bit more embroidery still to be done on the jumper before you get to see Gwenda's handiwork - better get her to get on with it while she's doing nothing else.
Think I might just have a quiet day at home tomorrow - maybe the cats will keep me company or else I can talk to all the other bears, not a shortage of companions that's for sure :rolf :rolf
What a day Migsi -sleeping well now with all those other bears Watch that Gwenda and chocolate
Vonny and I will meet up soon - and did you tell them about SGR and Wattlers ofcourse ???
Hugs for gwenda -sounds like a mega day!!!
