Bored of wait around wednesday!!!

I just need to get on!!!! Hurry up May!!!!!

Picking up hire car tomorrow before epic journey and family stuff so may be away  for a few days from  blogland dear chums.  Acquired a few patriotic bits for weeny girls patriotic wedding barbecue- all from Aldi - I like that shop - one on my way home.  Lidl is still cheaper for a few things, Morrison's and asda are good for others. I juggle like we all do. Only £17 and a fair few bits  of food and nibbles to take away with us on our care home adventure. Back on Sunday to clean and organize before work. I also intend on familiarising the Wanderer to the ways of frugalism - This is my ex pat sister who after only paying 14p a litre for petrol and living it large in South East Asia  is in for a big shock! I am sure frugalism will be of benefit nowshe is having to put up with the old country again. Wish these niggling cramps would just get on with it. I have no patience for these things anymore. All pointless!!!

Fajitas for tomorrow - to be cooked by Biggles fair hand while I pack and organise for our road trip. Fajita pack form Aldi for 1.49 - not bad considering the purchase of tortillas and seasoning ( which if I got on with it I could make myself) I can make my own salsa. MAY MAY MAY . Must make more effort. hmph!

  4. Have a great time! We will miss you.

    I should start shopping at Aldi, too. It really does save you some dough.

    Love,

  5. Hello Eeek, thanks for your comment, nice to know I have interested readers. Just thought you might like to know (having perused your details and a few of your posts) there is a Brian Froud not 6 inches from my left hand (Good Faeries Bad Faeries) and I am not only a fan of Mr Pratchett but I actually went to school with him. Even have some of his 'unpublished' work in several issues of the school magazine from the mid-sixties.
    I also brew my own beer (so you can have a pint after you've walked all the way here to see the aforementioned TP stuff!) as is fitting - I live in a village called Brue. BH is a fan of popcorn like you, also G&T. Have you tried Hendricks gin? It's best drunk with cucumber! Enough! I'm starting to drivel. Love to you and wee one and Biggles.

  7. I am just down the coast near Boulmer. fish and Chips are great in Seahouses. If you do walking and are in Alnwick at all try hulne park - its a bit hidden but does have some great walks and picnic spots as well as a ruined abbey and a folly - Brizlee Tower so worth a look and cheaper than the castle/gardens!!!! enjoy!!!!!

    Hi albedo - have been to Skye and Rassay and would love to make it to the outer hebrides one day - are you as bothered by the midge???? Will check pout Hendricks and the cucumber p sounds good!!!!

    Eeek
