Busy Busy

Well we had a busy afternoon today...I had intended going to the gym once the boys had left for school but ended up going back to sleep as i had a splitting headache...K woke me up later as she knew i needed to go to the bank then we were going shopping...As i have stated loads of times i loathe and detest shopping but today was different...We were going out to buy stuff for K going to uni...I had fallen way behind with all the prep with being in hospital and this is the first time i have really felt up to going trailing around doing a mass shop.

Everyone had been telling me to just go to Ikea when we got down to edinburgh but i wanted to make sure we had it all before we go...I really didn't want to end up trailing around edinburgh with the boys buying essentials...So we popped down to the huge asda and got loads of stuff...Got a kitchen starter pack which has frying pan, sharp knives, bottle opener, corkscrew, cheese grater, salt & pepper, erm lots of things that are useful and some am sure she will not need LOL...It was only £15...Looked at the savers pan set and decided it was yuk and bought the stainless steel set of 3 which was only a couple of quid dearer at just over £9...Got a dinner set that is really groovy (i want one too) for a tenner instead of £15...Got a set of coloured glasses, chopping board, clothes pegs, clothes line...She wanted to just use some thick string <sheesh> I actually wanted to get a clothes horse so we compromised LOL...I know they have a laundrette to use but tumble drying costs money LOL...Her friends she already knows tie some thick string across their room...Plastic coated clothes line won't mark her clothes i told her...Also got a holdall on wheel that is same blue as her suitcase for a tenner...And lastly but more importantly in her eyes we got a laptop bag for £15...It is one for a notebook lappy but her one looks tiny and lost in it LOL...It also looks just as good as the ones that cost £35+ in the likes of comet, PC world etc...We have still to get the printer but that will have to wait until next week...One good thing i found out from her today is she has insurance...She told me i already said i had letter about insurance in my pack...I said i know but you didn't say it was contents insurance for your room...Nice that it is included in the cost of the fees for her halls as is her internet access...I know a lot of universities don't include stuff like that and you have to pay extra on top...The fees for Heirot Watt are about average for a scottish uni too...She has seen cutlery she likes and WOOHOO it is in poundland LOL...Also on way home we went into TKMaxx so i could buy these cool trainers for myself that i saw yesterday...Nike Air Max ones supposedly originally £79 for £16.99...K liked them too and as she is going away and we won't be wearing the same thing i got us both a pair :o) Toodle pip and tc xxx
