Well THAT was a disaster

OK. Saturday was the day... the day of our school fair... the day I ran a stall... the day that was a disaster ( *insert evil laugh here*)

Ok, so, I arrived and everything was hunky-dory. The person supplying the safe (our stall was 'Crack the safe') was a few minutes later than we arranged but oh well. He lost the instructions to the safe so he had to tell us everything himself. Soon someone from the other stalls came along to crack the safe and he did it on his first attempt because he knew the code from when the safe was brought into school. Lisa wasn't very happy because he won a really cute toy that she had brought as a prize. So me and my friend had the 1st break (we had half hour shifts because I wanted to see the gymnastics display, tee hee) my friend DEMANDED on doing apple bobbing, so I went on ahead to the jewellery stand and bought a cool ring (it's a pink butterfly with little gems, it's cute) I then went on ahead to see my friend's stalls. It was soon time to swap over, so me and my friend did the shift, which was ok. When it was our break again we dashed outside, grabbed an ice cream and watched the gymnastics (very good, both the display and the weather!) We went inside and I went to my friend's 'decorate a cake' stall. I made a cake for me and did a biscuit for my friends. I went back to the stall, where Richard was waiting for me. He wanted to go home early so he left the safe with us. Only he didn't leave it with US. As far as I was concerned, from then on out there was only a ME!

And so the rant begins. You may find that the caps lock gets a bit... 'over-used' in this paragraph. Be warned.

I was left on my own for LITERALLY 15 MINUTES AND HAD LOADS OF PEOPLE COME TO THE STALL. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE QUEUE!!!!!!!!!! Of course, there was only one safe and each person had 2 goes. So it took a while. AND IT TOOK EVEN LONGER WHEN THE SAFES ALARM WENT OFF AND IT STOPPED WORKING AND NO ONE HAD TOLD ME THE FLIPPING COMBINATION. I lost loads of customers! My Dad arrived and he tried to help open it (which he did, eventually. Well done John.) Then my friends came and didn't realize JUST HOW STRESSFUL THE WHOLE THING HAD BEEN. We had to shut down early and I went away with a stinking headache. I won't be doing a stall again.
