A Day in the Life at Fleurtations day 44

• Christmas trees, Xmas trees, Christmas trees, Xmas trees, you guessed it, the trees arrive!
• Up like a shot, funerals need delivering, flower market for exotics, back to put plants out, breakfast, deliver company flowers, back just in time for the Christmas tree delivery.
• The driver is in a foul mood, he didn't realise this was a "hand ball" job, 200 heavy Nordmann Christmas trees to be individually taken from the back of the HGV into the fenced compound.
• I always find that a smile, cheery attitude and stubborn perseverance can generally see you through and this is no exception, two cups of coffee, a chat about b****y Christmas trees with there needles, netting and ability to roll anywhere but where you want them, and he's even smiling, turns out he's been up since five and still has to go to Doncaster to pick up a load from B&Q.
• Job takes a couple of hours and the end of which I thank him for his help load him up with dark chocolate brazils and gingers for his wife and wave him off with a smile, he gives us a toot from the fog horns and disappears up the hill.
• Out to deliver to Mansfield, maintenance in Annesley and back to help pack away.
• Check emails,start the evenings SEO, of course it's Christmas trees found at http://www.fleurtations.uk.com/christmas_trees.asp the prices have gone up quite dramatically this year, although we have tried to swallow the majority of the increase. I must say the trees look miles nicer than last years and there's some real monsters!
• Finish at 23.25, open a bottle of Stella, listen to Steve Earle "Transcendental Blues" and mosey off to bed.
