Going to the big Tesco again.

Yesterday afternoon we went to the big Tesco again. It was hot again so I went without a coat. I had a large book and a DVD boxset to give to the Tesco book swap so my bag was very heavy. After putting the recycle in the recycle receptacle as usual and going up on the lift to the main shop, I went to look for some Art magazines. But the only one they had was the one I've already got, which was the very last one of my subscription, so no joy there. I wasn't sure if I was going to get a sandwich for tomorrow because I've got to go and get my repeat prescription again and so I thought maybe I'd kill some time by getting lunch at either 24 Market Street (the pub), or No.19 (the cafe opposite the Cathedral). But I got a sandwich anyway and if I don't eat it tomorrow down town I can always save it for later. We got the usual things. We didn't need any flowers this time. But unfortunately I couldn't find any plant based Philadelphia cream cheese. I hate it when that happens! We got to the till and my Mum went and sat on a nearby bench. When I'd put all our groceries on the conveyer belt, and I got to the other end, the lady on the till said, "Hi, there. Don't you usually come with your Mum?" And I said, "Yeah, she's over there," and I pointed to where she was! After we'd paid for our groceries, I went and sat on the bench with my Mum and drank some of my water. Then I went and changed my book (and DVD) at the Tesco book swap. It was a relief to lighten my bag! At about 4:10pm we went back down on the lift to wait for my step-dad. When he came, he just chucked the bags in the boot with no care for the items that were inside! I had to pick up a couple of bags and replace a few items that had fallen out into the bottom of the boot! Fortunately it was just Mums incontinence pads that had fallen out, but I just wish he'd be more careful with the bags! We went home and I unpacked everything and I had my dinner. My Mum went to the Life Group from Church again last night and she tells me that the people who host it in their house have four new kittens from the ferrell cat that sometimes lodges with them! Only two weeks old! How cute! I wish I could have seen them. How was your day?

Isn't it nice when the cashiers recognize us and they know our habit? When I go they always ask me where is my husband if they do not see him near me.

@sharonelton Most of the employees are nice, but a few are rude.

@LadyDuck I haven't had the displeasure to encounter any really rude staff. Maybe I'm just the lucky one?

Seems you are a regular at Tesco because the lady recognized you. What were you able to swap your books and DVDs for?

Yes, we are regulars at that Tesco. We go every Wednesday afternoon. I got another book. It is a fantasy novel of the Lord of the Rings/Game of Thrones type.

I can see how busy you are there but manage the things good. I will be going to shop for food later in the evening when the sun is not too hot. I will be having problems buying some meat if it is really hot. I am enjoying my time here at mylot and had baked some brownies for my snack later Have a great day

Good morning and thank you very much. Yes, we were very busy. Did you manage to go to the shop in the evening when it was cooler to get some food? And how did you manage with the meat? I'm glad you are enjoying your time at MyLot. I hope you enjoyed your brownies. You have a nice day too.

I like Tesco products but they are expensive. Glad that you got your groceries. We will have Life Group meeting this coming Sunday.

I think Tesco is about in the middle when it comes to pricing. I don't think they're as expensive as say somewhere like Morrisons or Waitrose.

Good morning. It is cooler here today too. It promises rain around 12:00 midday and 2:00pm, but it might not happen. But I'm going down town prepared anyway.
