Obviously Mal and I are still very confused with the time difference and the change with the clocks… we were both up and wide awake at 5.00am! Torin was the sensible one and got up much later than us! We stayed until lunchtime and then headed down to the caravan.
We didn’t bother with lunch but unpacked and started on the present buying. I had bought Scarlet’s already last time we were back and thought about getting the same in blue for Jack but thought I had better ask Torin first (and he said yes) It was the mini sizzling cooker in Early Learning centre but all this time I have been trying to buy one online but the blue has been out of stock. Success, we went into Mothercare and they had one blue one left. We bought Oscar one for his last birthday and he loved it. Another present done!
We intended doing more shopping but decided we were either too tired or at any rate did not have our head around UK shopping. Mal tried to pay with a one lira coin, thinking it was a £2 coin and in Tesco we did the ‘do it yourself’ checkout and the lady kept telling me I was “removing things from the bagging area.” Oh no I wasn’t, I was trying to get too much in one bag and it split and I had lifted something up. Mal and I left Tesco in hysterics because I was having quite an argument with the recorded voice. Don’t get all that in Atakara!
We gave up and went along to the Toby Carvery for their bargain 2 meals for £10. Yes, I downloaded the vouchers! see link Our Toby carries this offer on until 6.30pm. The place was nearly empty, not the usual queues, maybe because it was Halloween.
