Wow I never even knew that store existed and there is one not far from me :) happy days. Know where I am going next weekend now :) xxxxx thanks

It's a great store. I buy my uht skimmed milk from there as I don't think it's watery like the supermarket uht milk.
I reckon the baskets will
Be strong enough to hold the jars & bottles for my hampers. Once wrapped in cellophane with a big red bow, I think it will be lovely. Wine is reasonable there too lol xx

It wasn't too bad I think today went in slower :-( however, IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!! :-D

I thought I mentioned it was ww'ers but when I look back I didn't write it. I bought the lemon & nectarine and orange (I think) They were ok, they didn't have the creamy consistency that greek yoghurt normally has. The problem is, they are 3 packs for £3 in Asda so I bought 3 packs, so I'll need to eat the frigging things!! xxx
 
Today was the same as yesterday. I took 2 meals to work, lunch & dinner. I had made some chicken sweet & sour and popped it into the freezer for when I'm at work. I'm so glad I have some meals in the freezer for shifts like these!
A long day today, so glad it's now the weekend

Sounds like a manic week at work, get some rest! Enjoy the shopping tomorrow!

Take care :) Food looks yum! Next time I venture up to Glasgow to see my relatives I'll be sure to drop in! ;)

That's so sweet, thank you!!!

I can't remember if they live in Edinburgh or Glasgow.. they aren't very close relatives lol but my cousin had a baby not so long ago so I assume we'll be going to meet him sometime in the next 6 months or so :)

Glad you managed to have a lay in! x

Enjoy your retail therapy! ;)

Edinburgh is a lovely city. If you get the chance to go, take it. At Christmas time it's lovely. The castle is lit up and there is a German Market just off Princess Street which is the main Street in Edinburgh. We go there a few times a year. There are lovely gardens there too and quite often there is entertainment there.

I hope you've had a nice relaxing day today xx

Yep, it's a cola cube flavour vodka. I detest vodka but its just like cola cube juice. I pointed it at 2pp per 25 ml and I had 50ml in a tumbler filled with diet lemonade. I had 4 glasses so 16pp's xxx
