What I've been up to.

I went shopping on Friday. First I had quite a few DVDs to donate to the Oxfam book shop. The lady in there said they'd be loving me! After that I went to Superdrug for some bubblebath and sterident tablets. They didn't have our usual bubblebath so I got a different brand. I think.they may have stopped making our old bubblebath. The sterident tablets are used for cleaning false teeth, but aswell as that (my Mum has a few false teeth) she uses them to clean dirty mugs where it's hard to get the grime off. You just put hot water in the mug and drop in a sterident tablet. It fizzes up all blue. We usual do it at night and in the morning your mug's all clean! After that I went up to Holland and Barrett. I wanted to see if I could get some millet but that was out of stock. My Mum wanted sugar free strawberry and cream flavoured sweets but they were out of stock aswell so I had to get Ricola Tasty Cranberry sugar free sweets instead. I got the same but in Delicious Elderflower flavour for me! I got 4 packets of liquorice, one for my Mum, one for my step-dad and two for me. I also got two bars of sugar free chocolate for my Mum, three lots of seaweed thins and some grain coffee for me! When I went to the till I said to the lady there, I never think to get a basket, do I? (Because I just put everything on the lid of the trolley!) After that I went to Tesco and got some strawberries and a small tub of Ferrero Rocher for my sister-in-law Ali for her birthday from my Mum. My Mum thought I was only going in for strawberries so said she didn't think it was worth taking the club card even though she did tell me to get something for Ali "something to snack on" I think she said. Don't know where she thought I'd be getting it from if not from Tesco as I wasn't going in Iceland. After that I went to The Works to look for an artist's portfolio case but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I did get 2 different sized sketch books though. When I got to the till I was told I had a voucher to use before the end of the month so I got my sketch pads for £1.50 instead of £4! Result! Next I went to Wilkos. On Thursday evening after I'd cooked my dinner I was going to sieve out the water from my lentils and stuff and the handle on the saucepan lid collapsed! It split off at the top between the knob and the base and you could see inside it was all green and corroded! Mum said that we couldn't fix that and she wasn't even going to try! But she did say we can still use the saucepan, just without the lid. So I measured the saucepan to 8" or 20cm and went to get a new saucepan with lid from Wilko on the Friday. I found some saucepans with lids but they were 16cm, 18cm or 30cm. I got the 18cm one because it was closest to the one we wanted. It is blue and non-stick. I also got some bird seed for the wild birds but I couldn't see any of the brand we usually get so I got another brand instead. After that I went to Waterstones book store to look for a present for Ali from me. I got some hand creams. They cost £9.99. After that I went to the toilet by the Cathedral and then I set off for home. I felt like I had a stone in my shoe so I sat on a bench by Stowe Pool and removed it, then made a little video for YouTube and took some photos with a view to painting (see above). When I got home I unpacked the groceries and showed Mum the new saucepan. She loves it! She loves the colour and everything! The old saucepan lid has now gone in the recycle! On Sunday I didn't go to Church for personal reasons, so I watched Freedom Church on YouTube instead. It was great. What have you been getting up to? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.
