Plans..

We decidid last night to go into crosby , mainly because Vin had to go to his bank to get some money out, and then along to my bank to pay it into Jane's account for her MOTtest. That turned out to be £260 in the end.But, that covered all the work it needed and the two new tyres also so wasn't too bad really. She rang last night to say she had collected it and it was driving better.
Then this morning I said i didn't really want to go to the Crosby Sainsburys to get our weekend thing, firstly I'm a bit bored with Sainsburys, and also because it is a really small shop and they don't carry a huge stock. So, in the end it was decided that Vin would go into Crosby, do his banking things and then come back and pick me up and we would go into formby to Waitrose to get our weekend things. Got to Waitrose, and there was a parking space right next to the front door..couldn't believe it, we never park there. Good omen..
What a cold shop!! There is a blast of cold air through a fan as you enter the store, mainly as a warning I think, then the chilled foods area is absolutely freezing..I mean really freezing..there are about four aisles of this and then it starts to get a tad warmer. Not a store you want to browse in i can tell you.We got our weekend stuff, things that we can't get in crosby like decent avocados and perfectly ripe pears and really nice egg and potato salads. Not a cheap shopping basket though..you pay for the experience of being frozen. I was reading in the paper yesterday that john lewis are suffering from falling profits..down to 15millions last year or was it in this year so far..never mind.. They coukld do with reducing their prices a bit though.Their excuse was that their policy of being "never knowingly undersold" was causing them trouble because other stores are cheaper. Well that's not hard!
Anyway we were home well in time for our coffee break, which was a good job because their coffee shop/restaurant was heaving.
Vin is clearing up his stuff this afternoon, and since he was getting grumpy about it, I left him to it.
Funny day weather wise, quite nice this morning but cool and even a touch misty. next doors have a big line of washing on their line, all little stuff, and then after lunch it started raining, so he came out and took it in. Short while laterm as I type this in fact there is a bright sunshine. Very odd day.I hope the visitors from America have got umbrellas with them, or they'll get wet.
Tonight we are having:
Fishless fingers,
Mushy peas for Vin and green beans for moi
Chips!! Hooray, a treat..200grms between us.
