Just before Christmas I had a new client book me and ask me what present I might like so I thanked him, told him it wasn't necessary but gave him the url of my wishlist as requested.
Leading up to the appointment I kept getting messages from him about how he was going to treat me, that he had a wonderful Christmas present for me and that he couldn't wait to absolutely spoil me. All he ever got in reply was a standard message from me confirming his appointment date and time but it didn't stop him endlessly writing.
Now I confess I am utterly spoiled by my Clients and often blog about the lovely treats I get but he made such a fuss that even my cynical bitter old heart thought that just -maybe- he would do something really amazing.
On the day of the appointment as he walked in he was still banging on about treating me and put his hand into his jacket pocket. All I could think was maybe make-up? (Exciting!) Perfume? (Very exciting!) Or jewellery??? (Very VERY exciting!) when he pulled out his hand and gave me a three pack of Ferrero Rocher. Still with the price label from the nearest Shell Garage on them and very bashed about from being in his pocket.
It still makes me laugh now. I smiled and thanked him and it WAS a nice gesture but...

Lol
