Bank of Mum and Dad..

On banking duties today, had to pay £300 in for Janes rent until Wednesday. So it was either a case of going to Formby and the expensive Waitrose, or Crosby and the tiny Sainsbury or Ormskirk and Morrisons. We opted for the latter, so went over there. It's a nice run anyway, quite rural and quiet. Went to the bank first, and then to Holland and Barratts where we wanted to get some of their fishless fingers, but they didn't have any. Why on earth do shops always sell out of the very things we need. Why don't they order more? So they lost a sale and we came out without buying anything. Went to my usual shops and I bought a top in the Bon Marche, reduced in the sale so well pleased. Superdrug for my night anti wrinkle cream which doesn't work!!! but we try. Maybe i should have a face lift like lollipop Lulu..no perhaps not.
M&S for a few salads, and they were doing a meal deal for £10 so got that for Saturday night as a treat. Main course, veggie side dish pudding and a bottle of wine..a good deal.
Morrisons for coffee and a break. Very pleasant cafe, cheap but excellent coffee and cafe buzzing. Really makes a dofference when the kids are off. Must be so expensive for parents these days keeping them amused.
Got all our weekend things and time was getting on so hurried home a bit later than usual.
Vin is in the garden this afternoon pottering. Lovely word that..pottering. The new neighbour next door is laying flags in their garden which has been covered in gravel for quite some time. They have lived in flats apparently so I suppose a garden is a novelty.
Tonight we are having:
Crispy fillets
A few chips 200grms between us
Small tin of something tomatoey. Common tea tonight!!
