Packages and Parcels...

Everything seemed to come at once today. We just arrived back from our weekend shopping and had let ourselves in when there was a toot from over the road. The lady courier had brought our Yankee Candles that I had ordered. I love Yankee Candles. the "Flavours" are lovely and I often have a number in the bathroom and in the kitchen and living room. Just love candle scents.
Then after our lunch..I had a really nice potato and egg salad and Vin got a meal deal from Sainsburys..A mozzarella rocket and pesto sandwich on malted bread, a bag of baked crisps and a bottle of diet pepsi for £3. The doorbell went and it was the book people with our order. i have a multi pack of Hamish McBeth novels by M.C.Beaton and Vin has a book about tracing your family tree. So everybody is happy.
We went over to the Sainsburys in Walton this morning to get the weekend things.Bank Holiday weekend so we were expecting everywhere to be busy but it wasn't actually, the shop was quite quiet. No kids running around, maybe they are finishing off their holidays. Got our stuff for Saturday night and Sunday.and a few things to keep us going on Monday. Funny thing..I haven't noticed the furniture sales adverts on the television recently, maybe they are saving those for Christmas.
Vin is in fixing mode again and has his "Plumbers hat" on again. For some time now the water hasn't been draining in the washbasin in the bathroom. This is despite putting bleach etc down, and special sink unblockers. So, he decided to unblock it this afternoon. What a job!! it was full of gunge, I suppose years of soap and shaving foam etc.,Yuck! I said it was a good job we didn't have a house with three bathrooms! Not sure whether he wants to be a Plumber now after all. Still Mr Fixit is doing a sterling job.
I wonder what his next project will be?

Tonight we are having:
Fishless fingers
Green beans for moi and mushy peas for Vin
Chips..200grms between us.
Tartare sauce.

Vin is really getting carried away with his DIY.. just be careful he doesn't hand you a bill!!

Watched all three of 'Who do you think you are' I like it for the history not necessarily the celebrity. Getting quite hooked at watching things on iPlayer on the computer!! will look up Timothy Spall's series tomorrow. Judyx
