I went to the big Tesco again today, but I went on my own because Mum didn't think she'd have time to get her shoes on because she's got a bandage on her leg after going to the doctor's on Monday to have them looked at.
Syd dropped me off, and said he would pick me up at 4:30pm as usual. I went and fetched a trolley, then I went and posted a letter. Then I got rid of the soft recycle and went up on the lift.
I got 2 TV magazines first because I didn't go to the little Tesco yesterday because of the weather again. Then I got a craft magazine.
Next I got a bounty bar for Syd and 2 bottles of water for me. I got 2 different types of sushi.
Then I went and got some nappy sacks for my Mum. She uses them to put her used pads in. Then I went and got some Nurofen lemon meltlets. I then went and got some pads for my Mum. They had two packets there so I got them both!
After that I went to the fruit and veg section and got some blueberries for me, 2 lots of strawberries, green grapes, spring onions and celery for me. Then I went and got some soy milk with no added sugar from the side. I then went round the next isle and got some easy peelers and bananas.
Next I went over to the f&f clothing section and got my Mum some pants in size 16. I then went back and got 2 bottles of milk for my Mum and I got my yoghurts. I got some puddings for my Mum and Syd for Sunday.
Then I went to the vegan and ready meals isle and got some tofu, my vegan pizza and 4 packets of meat free bites. Then I went over to the other side and I got some beef dinners for my Mum and Syd for Sunday, and some shepherd's pies.
After that I went to the ingredients and sauces isle and got some chives. I then went and got some wholewheat couscous. And now that I think about it I think I forgot to get my soy sauce!
Next I got a Multigataway soup, a small tin of salmon and a chow mein pot noodle for Syd.
Then I went and got some apple turnovers for Mum and Syd, and some small cupcakes. Then I got myself some maple syrup. I saw some of the ones with the green tops at the back of the shelf, so I moved the cardboard that was in front of it, and I pulled one forward using my walking stick until I could reach it!
After that I went and got some pringles and a packet of crisps, and then I went and got some malted milk biscuits for Mum and some chocolate digestives for Syd. I got some matcha T-bags and some camomile T-bags for me.
Next I went to the cereals isle and got myself some porridge oats. Then it was off to the frozen section and I got some peas and some frozen garlic. Round the other side I got those meatball type things that begin with f except they're made with pork! I got some Youngs battered fish, but the posh ones with two in and I got some prawns for me.
I went round to the household cleaning section and I got some washing up liquid, some limescale prevention tablets for the washing machine, some colour catchers, also for the washing machine and some comfort pure conditioner also for the washing machine.
Then I went to pay. It came to just over £166
It was 4:05pm when I went and sat on the bench. I didn't have a book to swap, but I did go to the books and took one and put a 40p donation in the pot. Aren't I generous? I took the book back to the bench and started reading it, and now I'm already on chapter 4! (They are rather short chapters!)
At 4:25pm I went down on the lift. Syd wasn't there when I got into the undercover car park, and there was someone on the bench. So I went and stood by the drop off point. I didn't have to wait long. Almost immediately he arrived so we put everything in the boot and went home.
When I got home I unpacked the groceries and put them away. Then I had my dinner. Now Mum has gone to the home group that was postponed from last week. I still haven't given her her change and everything, so I'll put that out before she comes back.
What have you lot been getting up to today?
I hope you are all well.
Have a great night.

@sharonelton I love mulligatawny soup. We drove up to Belfast to buy a certain kind of paint and discovered that the shop was no longer there.

I don't actually eat tinned soup myself. If I have soup I make it from scratch in my soup maker! But I haven't actually done that in ages!
Oh, dear! I'm sorry about that! How long is it since you last went?
We went on holiday once, this was years ago, and we went to go to the little cinema that we used to go to every year only to find out it wasn't there any more.

@xFiacre And it's closed in that short time?
I used to like going to Riley's the fruit and veg shop. One week I was there getting all the lovely fruit and veg, the next week it was closed with white drapes at the windows.

Yes, it was a lot. I had two shopping lists, mine and my Mum's, which also had what Syd wanted on it too.

Thank you very much. I'm glad too. I don't think there was anything I couldn't get today! (Only one thing that I forgot!) I did have a good rest of the day, thank you very much.

I went to a doctor appointment this morning, came home and worked on sharing news stories and complete surveys.
