Oh, you would have been proud of me today.
I was proud of myself!!!
Having done my food shopping, I carefully chose my checkout queue. I don't queue hop anymore, because I usually find that when you do, your new queue ends up being slower than the one you hopped from in the first place, thusly leaving you even more frustrated than you would have been had you stayed put!
Anyway, I started unpacking my trolley onto the conveyor belt. There was enough room for about half my stuff, and I very soon realised that the conveyor was no longer moving. There was a problem with a voucher that the lady before me had handed in. I did vaguely wonder why they were at the voucher stage when half her food was still on the conveyor.
In the end, I waited there for a good 15 minutes, right beside the end-of-till chocolate displays! I lost count of how many times I reached out for a bar and then changed my mind!
In the end, not only did I smile sweetly at the assistant as she started on my shopping, but I didn't - I repeat, I didn't - give in to the temptation of the chocolate bars!!!
So, so proud!
Today I am grateful that I was able to stay in control of both my temper and my craving!!!
It turns out that my supermarket are doing a deal where you get €10 off your next shop when you spend over €50, and the assistant was stopping every €50 worth, taking the money, vouchers etc, giving the €10 voucher for that €50 then starting again as if it was a new customer! I think the woman in front of me must have been shopping for a very large family!!!
Gratefully yours.

Well done you! I'm pretty patient but I can only resist temptation once and often not at all! I had a scone today and suffered all afternoon! One day I'll have it sussed! xx
ReplyDeleteI've found that the best way to treat temptation generally is to give in to it! That way it goes away and doesn't bother you any more....till next time, anyway!!
