The Other Way..

Most of our friday shopping trips tend to be fairly local, but today we went to Asda in Southport for a change. It was a nice morning actually with the trees in full blossom now, and made for a very pleasant drive.
When we arrived at the store we went over to The Range shop because VT wanted to get a few items. I had a look for small mats, but the only ones they had were far to big for what we wanted. On the way out, we passed the lighting department, and had a look at bedroom light shades. We have presently got deep wine coloured ones, that are now too dark with the low energy bulbs. We have been looking for some cream coloured ones for an age, but they have been too dear or the wrong size. Lo and behold they had some in the range. Absolutely perfect.. and an unbelievable £1.09 each!!!!!! Couldn't believe it. They look super and make such a difference to the room. I hope that I will be able to see better to read my book tonight. These low energy bulbs are ok, but the light isn't as good.
Then went to Asda for our weekend shop. Had a look at the clothing which is dire, and at the books. Got a new James Patterson one I like. Excellent array of fruits and vegetables, and got a lot of impulse buys,, also items that are good for the store cupboard and the freezer.
Sat in the car park afterwards with our coffee. VT had remembered to take a flask and the mugs so we had a decent coffee before heading off home.The Asda coffee shop is terrible, really terrible and we just wouldn't go there. Awful little tables and plastic cups!!! definitely the worst of all of the supermarkets.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn beef and Ale pies,
Chips..200grms
Gravy,
A little pack of mixed vegetables.
