Yesterday started well with a £25-00p reward from "Tesco"a Bonus from them that had gone astray somehow. points we had earned in the past ,So after we had to call off our Home group at the last minute due to illness by four of our team, I persuaded Eileen to get ready and we would go to Tesco and have a luxury shop, with our cheque,which we did, the first visit she has made there for over three years, she was amazed at the changes that have taken place since last she went, for me I rate it as the Best Shopping centre in our Area bar none, every thing one could wish for under one roof beautiful surroundings, and free parking, I firmly believe the days of open markets are almost well and truly dead. this is what people want, so we had a good shop. but spent another forty pounds on top of our "bonus" but came home with quite a few "Tit -bits to use over the next week or so. the variety of goods has now soared to an almost obscene height, considering the state of much of our world, we truly are becoming a little America. so I shall be sorting a few new recipes out for us to enjoy, and this is "lent"!!?? but my feelings towards that changed from the "traditional" many years ago, and since then have been centred on GIVING more than giving up, both in Time and finance, so no guilt feelings. Thank GOD I am not under Law and condemnation, what a difference that made when I reached that position in life. Hair cuts today when our"Girl" comes later. Mine really needs a trim ready for "Easter". Plans advancing rapidly now, OUR CHURCH TREE is finished. and our own almost. so a quieter day today although our "Young un" Cathy comes today for her weekly visit so looking forward to laugh and joke time with her. cheery bye for now, PtP.
