We went to the big Tesco again this afternoon. I put the soft recycle in the recycle recepticle as usual, and then I got a trolley that was in the foyer. Then we went up on the lift. First we got some fresh flowers. Then we got Noel Fitzpatrick's book Dogs and their humans which is going to be my Mum's friend Nan Nutt's Christmas present. Mum wanted to get a book by Martin Clunes about animals for Syd for his birthday, which is on Friday, so we went and found that. Then I went and got a Doctor Who magazine, and then I went and got 2 bottles of water. I didn't need to get any prawn layered salads again because I made a couscous tofu salad yesterday which lasts me four days. I asked my Mum if she wanted to go and sit on a bench, so she gave me some money, her club card and her shopping list. So then I went off to get more stuff and Mum went to sit on a bench. I went and got Syd a day planner, which has a pen with it. I also got a pen and metal bookmark set to go with it. I also decided to treat myself to a pink 2025 diary and a fluffy grey pencil case. After I'd got those I went and got 3 packets of soothers for Syd. Then I went to look for some pads for my Mum but they didn't have any again. So then I went to the fruit and veg section. They've changed the layout and got completely new display stands. I got a cucumber, some green grapes, blueberries, spring onions and a red pepper. I didn't think I was going to be able to get any strawberries, but then I saw some on a top display stand. So I managed to reach them down and they were the last two! I also got my Mum some lettuce, tomatoes and bananas. I looked to see if they had any edamame beans but they still didn't have any. I got my yoghurts, 2 bottles of milk,2 puddings for my Mum and Syd for Sunday and a bottle of kombucha for me. Next I went and got some grated cheddar cheese and some sliced red Leicester cheese. I also got some mini pork pies. After that I went to the vegan and ready meals isle and I got some plant based pieces for my lunch on Monday, some tofu and just 2 packets of meat free bites. For my Mum I got 2 beef ready meals and 2 tuna pasta bakes. Then it was off to the ingredients and sauces isle and I got me some extra virgin olive oil and sesame oil. I got some cranberry sauce for my Mum and some sauerkraut for me. I got myself some couscous and some soy sauce. Then I went and got some baguettes that are made with sourdough. You have to bake them yourself. But I'm going to have them for my breakfast instead of the Alpen because I've gone off the Alpen. I'll still have my porridge on a weekend. Next I got some raspberry turnovers for my Mum and Syd for their supper tonight. Then I got them some Viennese Whirls. I got some crisps for Syd, some malted milk biscuits for my Mum and some wagon wheels for Syd. I also got some honey cheerios for Syd. Then I went to the frozen section and I got some peas, chips, chicken pies and battered fish. I also got myself some prawns. I didn't get any salmon bites or anything like that because I've got enough for this weekend and then I'm going to have something else for my tea which will help me lose some more weight. I went to pay, and it came to just over £168. I paid for mine with some money out of my purse, but it didn't quite cover it so I told my Mum I owed her £2.50. I managed to find £1.50, so I told her I still owed her £1. It was still only 4:00pm when I went back to sit with my Mum on the bench. We started making our way to the lifts slowly at about 4:20pm. When we got into the undercover car park, Syd still wasn't there. So I went to sit on a bench again. As soon as I sat on the bench he turned up! When I got home I unpacked the groceries and put them away. Then I had my dinner and watched some telly. Later I put out the recycle ready for the recycle bin man tomorrow. What have you lot been getting up to today? I hope you are all well. Have a great night.
