Up and At Em...

Seemed to be a reasonable day today, with no forecast of rain so we decided to go off to The Cheshire Oaks for the day. Little Rusty had already woken Vin up at around seven upchucking in the bedroom, thankfully on the carpet. A little alarm clock maybe!
So we were out by nine, thereby beating the rush hour traffic. It takes about three quarters of an hour to get there, but the traffic was very light today so we made good time. great parking there, we tend to always park in the same place outside Next, then we walk round in a clockwise direction.There are a lot of shops to get round, but a lot of them we don't go in anyway, like sports shops or high class dress shops. Went in the kitchen place and got a new piping bag and two cute uittle butter knives, so we have a set of four of those now. Saw a couple of very nice little televisions in the Toshiba shop which caught my eye. i had been thinking of getting another one for jane's room for a whie, and these are a good size, just right for a bedroom, plus one had a DVD player also. Didn't get that straight away and went to the Costa Coffee for a good morning coffee. It's a great stop, since it is half way round and gives you a breather before you carry on. Perfume shop, but they didn't have any of the Origins one that I get. We were quite surprised at the middle bit which has been refurbished, all painted white with new benches and trees in pots. they coulod do with doing that on the rest of it. Not many shops gone..Past Times has which is a shame, i always liked going in there, and there is a new Cloggau Gold store with very expensive jewellery, won't be going in there often.
M&S was crowded as usual and hard to get round. Got a couple of bits in there and made our way back to the car to go to Sainsburys for lunch. Nice Panini with tomato and mozzarella and a bottle of water between us..£8 odd.
Then got a few bits in there, and back to the main area to the Toshiba shop, to get the television. £139.99 which I think is a good buy,nice slimline black television which will look good in her room. She is planning on coming home over Easter, so it will be better for her.
Home by fourish to two cats eagerly awaiting their chicken.. All in all a good day out today.
Tonight we are having:
Pasta and Cheese with a bit of garlic bread
green vegetables to go with.
