Shopping

Well me and youngest went into town...Took the car as he won't walk far at all still it works out cheaper to park for 2-3 hours than it does to take the bus!!!!...Daft when they want us to use more public transport and less using of the car...Went to the bank to make sure they have paid my car insurance today and they had :o) ...Got book tokens from ottakers for my niece as she loves reading...I always loved getting book tokens or art stuff as presents when i was a kid...Didn't like being given books unless it was one i had requested...It's fun going and chosing yer own :o) ...We have a new shop opened here poundland so we went in for a looksy...I need to take daughter in there as some of the stuff is dead cheap for her going to uni...The service was atrocious though, we had been in a long queue for one of the tills...Then the manageress asked everyone to shift o one of the other queues as that till was closing...We grumped and moved (been in queue for 5-10 mins at this point)...After the person there had been served the till closed and woman on the till moved to the one behind and opened it....The manageress then shouted for people to move to it!!!!!...I mean FFS everyone could have just waited where they were and been served in time but no people who hadn't been queuing jumped in and got served...Manageress was not happy and glowered at people shouting at her over it but what did she expect...I wasn't the only one who said in a very loud voice they wouldn't be back <ggg> ...We dumped some of the stuff back at the car and went to primark and woolies...So youngest now has shiny new folder to put his important certificates in :o) ...Got 2 new pairs of jeans for both boys i really wish they'd stop growing...They now need 34" leg length each and i refuse to buy expensive ones when they still growing LOL...The ones they have i only bought at easter time and nowt wrong with them just short in the leg <sigh> ...Went to get tyre on car on way home and garage man had forgotten to get one WHOOPS...Going und ASAP in morning to get it put on just before we go north for the day...Glad to be home as i really utterly detest shopping LOL...Still need to get eldest lad new trainers for school which is a pain as he's got to rest his ankle...Will try on fri and if there is no spaces in disabled area right beside the centre then he will have to wait until there is LOL...Going to have a soak in bath...Toodle pip xxx

I've had some good stuff from our Poundland.........service is the same though lolol, they do get busy.  Think you've earned that soak, shopping is draining, I'm not a keen shopper. xxRache

Sounds like you had a busy day there, we have a poundland here in Leeds and the service is dreadful but some of the stuff they have there are real bargains.

Ugh, I hate shopping too.  Sounds like you got most of the things you needed though, so deserve that soak in the bath :o)  I keep putting off my last shop before the holiday, J still needs new sandals and swimming trunks, will do it tomorrow... or the next day!
