Busy Busy..

What is going on everywhere today? We went to Tescos first to get a dvd for VT. It was a free offer about the war years he is interested in so he wanted just to call in. I didn't want to do my shopping there simply because I hate tescaws..don't like their ethics or the way they have taken over the shopping industry. The car park was really busy as well which meant that the store would have been heaving so we left there and went to Waitrose in the village. However, there were cars everywhere there too, and we ended up going round the block twice before we spotted a parking space. There seemed to be a big funeral in the church next door, and when that happens they tend to use the Waitrose car park while they go to the service.
We only had a few things on the list, but still came out having spent £56!! The trouble is, all the impulse buys, and i did get some things for the Christmas box. It is a terribly expensive shop, but they do have nice things in there.
I wanted to get some Christmas Wrapping paper , but it was £3.50 a roll! which I think is a bit steep. I'll wait and get some from M&S next week, they very often have offers.
The GP's surgery rang me last night, with the result of the blood test, which showed the renal as stable, but a raised potassium level, so I need another blood test! I'm afraid I rather tore into the receptionist, and said we weren't happy about being removed from their lists. She said it was to do with the out of hours visits, and the fact that they wouldn't come out to Hightown. Bearing in mind that our house is 2.5 miles away from the surgery..not altogether sure that is fair. But that is it, nothing more to be done. i rang the clinic this morning for another blood test, and was offered one in the middle of December! but the girl did look at other clinics and eventually found one in Netherton which could do it on dec the 2nd. What a performance.You would think these days that surgeries could do their own blood tests!
Tonight we are having:
Vegetable pasty from waitrose as a treat,
Rice pudding as another treat.. being naughty tonight.

I think everyone's out shopping in case they get snowed in next, which the weathermen are predicting. Sorry you've got to have another blood test - we're quite fortunate as we have 'walk in clinics' etc who will do blood tests so there is not usually a que.
Had a lovely lunch with friends but was sadden to hear from another friend that he and his wife of 30 years have separated.
Just been watching Children in Need and am now so tired and just hoping that this comment does make some sense!!! lol
take care, love Judyx
