Outing..and returns..

Awoke to a dull morning but then it brightened up. Decided to go into Formby to return a bill from Waitrose. They had charged us twice for a bag of salad, which we notice because we are in the National Shopping Monitor and scan evcerything we buy. Therefore we do notice if anything is wrong on the bill. Also the Houmus that we bought had exploded!! well before its sell by date too. So we got our money back on those.
We moved on to Dobbies Garden Centre. It was quite busy actually, I think the warm weather is bringing people out to do their gardening. It is a nice place to wander round though if you are looking for gifts if it really good. We had a lovely cup of free coffee and our own biscuits, and sat in the little coffee area on sojme very comfortable sofas. Could have sat there all day really. But, we moved on to have a browse round. I wanted to get an artificial plant for a pot in the kitchen. Now in place and looks totally real and brightens up a corner. Then got some shortbread and some Easter Simnel slices reduced. They seem to have stopped selling the little pots of fruit cheeses which is a shame, we will have to find another source for those. Some cheese shop somewhere I suppose.
Last night in the end we had
Quorn fillets in an M&S jar of watercress sauce with mushrooms. Very tasty indeed. With that we had green beans ,fresh peas and asparagus. Looked beautiful and was extremely tasty too.
Tonight we are having:
Meatballs in a pasta bake. Done with a carton of fresh tomato sauce.
Bread and butter puddings..left from the meal deal we bought last week.
