Friday Shop...

Took my money off to Sainsbury's in Walton today. Seems like a while since we have been there,it is a bit of a trek, but the Sainsbury's is so small and a horrible shop. We got a package from Horlicks today, with an envelope in it, and a voucher for £5. Quite generous considering it was a pack for £2 on offer. The carton has now been returned, so it is now a matter of waiting to hear from them. No doubt that will take a long time. I bought two refill packs of Horlicks so did well out of that deal really.
We were undecided what we were going to have tonight, and had almost settled on a Chilli,then we saw a Toad in the Hole reduced so decided on that. Sainsbury's is quite good for reduced stuff, and it is a good way of saving a bit of money. We bought all the weekend things, and salads etc., but don't tend to buy wine from there. ASDA is better for wine with good offers.
VT is at present in the kitchen trying to mend the sparker unit on the hob. We are having abig difficulty finding another one of those, it seems that no-one is manufacturing them any more.What a pain. There is nothing wrong with the hob that a few little things wouldn't put right.
I am typing this in what used to be Janes room upstairs, and one cat..Rusty is curled up fast asleep on the basket on the stool in front of the window. The other cat Bobby is curled up on the duvet that is on the bed behind me. They both look gorgeous, really comfortable...Aaah.
It is exactly three years today that we got little Rusty back from going missing for 30 days. We were beginning to lose hope a bit really, and then we got a phone call froma man over the line to say she was in his garden, so VT went racing round and she was....He brought her straight back and she was so thin!! you could feel the bones on her back like a razor blade. Poor little thing she slept for a week, just getting up for a bit of food. She hasn't gone very far since. We are grateful every day for her coming home..and so grateful to the people who spotted her.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn Toad in the Hole,
Carrots, Baby Portobello Mushrooms
gravy.
