Monday

Good morning, everyone.   How did the weekend go for us all.  It seems to have flown past for me and as for where January has gone - just don't ask!!!

I did go shopping but decided that, as I seemed to need more than I first thought, I'd take a drive to Aldi.  I needed all sort of things - dishwasher stuff, washing stuff, loo rolls . . . oh, all that sort of stuff as well as some food so I decided to treat it as a 'beginning of the month' shop (which it nearly is) and now I am stocked up with all sorts of things for the coming month.  It's a very satisfying experience and I now know that Aldi does kind chicken at a much lower price than Morrisons!  They had tomato puree reduced so now I'm all stocked up with that too - I use quite a lot of it one way and another.

It took nearly as long to sort it all out and put it away as it did to buy the stuff in the first place!

The rest of the day went smoothly.  I got three loads of washing done and dried but not ironed so I have that joy to come.

Today is busy.  The morning is clear for ironing and general housework but the afternoon is helping out at school and tuition which all ought to keep me out of trouble!  No knitting club today as the teacher in charge is on a course.

Well - time flies so I'd better stop rambling.  May the day go well for all of us!

  1. Morning Joy - yes, the older we get, the quicker time seems to fly! We go to Wilkos every couple of months to do a toiletries and cleaning supplies shop, they've nearly always got lots of that kind of thing on special offer and I buy enough to see us through for a few weeks. We went yesterday, as it happens, there's free parking on Sundays.

    1. Our Wilcos is right in the centre of town and no free parking which is a shame. Their stuff is very reasonable though, I agree.

  2. Sounds like a good day and yes its boring buying all those bits and pieces like toilet paper etc and as you say it takes as long to put it all away as it does to buy it.

    1. It does, but once it's done, that's it. I'm hoping what I have got will last the month out (February, I mean) now.

  3. Well as February is a short month then hopefully you won't run out.

  4. I bought some toilet rolls from Aldi to try out the other day - they seem OK - sometimes cheaper things are thinner or less sheets or just generally smaller with a larger centre - so I will compare to the Sainsbury's own that I would normally buy.
    Sounds like a busy day. x

    1. I usually buy Morrisons but got Alsi's as I was there. Some are 3 ply and some 4 - I will see how they go in due course.
      The kitchen towel seems fine.
