Message, Smurfette and a little finish........

Got this message from the Property Maintenance office:

Please find attached the Garden Stake System notice regarding garden maintenance.

The wooden garden stakes can be picked up at the PM office, or from the garden guys directly. Please note that for safety reasons, the grounds crew should not be approached directly. Please ask for assistance from a worker wearing a shirt with a collar only.

My question is, are only the workers with collar's trained to talk to regular folks and the other guys not????  The message makes the poor guys sound as though they are wild animals!!! They are not, they are all lovely guys who just want to get on with their jobs, and what this message is trying to say, don't keep nagging at them as that way they can't get their work done!! 

Dd called me on Monday night to tell me Our Little Munchkin got into the pantry cupboard and got hold of the blue food colouring. Ran into the living room with it and got blue food colouring all over the ottoman. She also got it all over her face, so she looks like a Smurf. Luckily dd has got the food colouring out of her ottoman and son-in-law wisely took Our Little Munchkin downstairs out of dd way!!! 

I was trying so hard not to laugh, or say been there done that and have the t-shirt!!! Part of the cleaning kit she used had a fabric spray so she used that and said it smelled lovely. I told her it was some sort of calming scent to stop the owners having a melt down when something like this happens!!  So we should now rename Our Little Munchkin and start calling her Smurfette!!

I have been working on my little cross stitch project and finally got it finished on Tuesday.  It's not only cute but useful: 

I need to iron it when I next have the iron out to straighten it out a bit.
