What a Day!!

First things first. We wanted to get a photograph printed so yesterday vin rang round some local places like Supasnaps etc., but a lot of them only did smaller sizes like A4, and this is bigger than that. He got through to a place in crosby that copies digitally and does larger items so he made plans to go there today, this morning in fact. Because the address was 44 Liverpool road he thought it was over the road from Supasnaps which is 41. i said we'd be better parking outside in case it took a while so we drove round. it proved to be a long way up the road in fact,Nearly in Waterloo in fact, as i took great pleasure in telling him. it was exactly the place that I had described to him last night but does he listen to me...No!! he left it there along with a couple of others to be put onto disc also so that was done. our visitor will be pleased with that I think.Since it would be twenty minutes we decided to go to the bank and Sainsburys for the cat's chicken. the bank to pay money in for Jane to pay her car insurance with..
She was having her car in for its MOT today and was a bit worried about that, she thought it would need quite a few things done. Rang up at lunchtime and as expected it had failed because it needed two new tyres,a cv something or other and a bit of welding round a seat belt and on the nearside sill. Vin knows all about cars so he said find a little garage to do the welding, because that would be cheaper. Quik fit would do the tyres and the tracking and the other thing for £200 odd pounds. Then she rang later to say she had found a garage that would do everything she needed including the welding for £230, she could drop the car off and cp;;ect it mid afternoon tomorrow. If she gets it back to the MOT place before 6O'Clock tomorrow she gets a free test again. her Dad will help her out with that bill and I've done her car insurance which she is going to pay me back monthly..so the bank of Mum and Dad have sorted her out.
Then the doorbell went at lunchtime. it was the carpet man come to collect the two rugs we are having cleaned. they take them away, clean them and deodorise them and bring them back tomorrow. The one in our middle room takes a lot of foot and cat traffic so needed a good clean..it is a good rug so worth doing. Actually it is amazing how much wear they save the carpets, when they were taken up the beige carpet underneath was a totally different colour to round the edges HaHa.
So, we are stopping in tomorrow..having a breather. God knows how we found time to go to work!!
Tonight we are having:
Tricolour pasta with spinach and ricotta sauce,
Mixed green vegetables with asparagus
Three slices of garlic read between us.
