I've just been to the little Tesco again. My weather app said cloudy with sunny spells. It was mainly cloudy. Before I went out Syd got a phone call from the electrician to organise sorting out lights outside, changing the light bulb in the bathroom, and maybe sorting out that irritating beeping that's been going on in the dining room. My Mum was only just getting her breakfast and she hadn't written her shopping list, so I said, you tell me what you want and I'll write it down. So I found a piece of paper and did just that. I went to the toilet and got ready. Then my Mum gave me a £20 note and 2 £5 notes, her Tesco club card and TV magazine voucher. I put those and the shopping list in my purse and off I went. When I got the shop I got some honey roast peanuts, and then I got the TV magazines. I saw a Doctor Who magazine, but I decided to get it tomorrow from the big Tesco. I then got some chocolate croissants again for my Mum and Syd, and a bounty bar for Syd. I then went to look for some strawberries, but there were none there! Not a smidgen! So I just went to get 2 bottles of milk, and then I went to pay. It came to just over £10. I gave the lady the £20 and she gave me a £5 and 2 £2 coins with the change. So then I went home. As I was approaching my house I saw a guy who I thought was coming from our house, then getting into a van and driving off! When I went in the house my Mum said You've just missed the electrician! I said, I know, I just saw him leaving! She said he'd given them a quote for the lights outside, and they'd found the source of the beeping! It was an old fire alarm that was on the shelves that my brother David had given us in the dining room! We didn't even know it was there! He just took the battery out of it! And now the beeping is no more! I told my Mum I couldn't get any strawberries. Then I unpacked the groceries and put them away. And now I'm watching Homes Under the Hammer again! What are you lot getting up to today? I hope you are all well. Have a nice day.

It's good that the beeping was such an easy fix.

Yes, we were wracking our brains trying to find out where this stupid beeping was coming from! What I want to know is why my brother left a fire alarm on the shelves he gave us!

@sharonelton I got to go to Sainsbury’s and got unpleasant letters from the tax person. Went for ice cream too.

I hope you enjoyed your trip to Sainsbury's. I'm sorry you're getting unpleasant letters from the tax man. I hope you enjoyed your ice cream.

Glad you solved the beeping, that would drive me mad! I guess it has become normal to expect strawberries in November, but not so long ago they were a summertime treat.

Yes, it was driving us mad! I'm glad it's solved. Yes, we have come to expect them. Hopefully they'll have some in the big Tesco tomorrow.
