Well Friday was pretty quiet and not a lot happened here apart from Amy (sister) visiting in the afternoon. Her car has broken down and is in the garage for repair. Apparently she was just parking and heard a bang, got out to look and the back axle had snapped, so car was down on the road on that side. Now Amy is known for seriously overloading her car with various junk (I mean treasures) that she buys and sells and often gets from skips. It is a seven seater but wardrobes, washing machines etc have all been taken for a ride in it! And she makes a good living from the things she gets so who am I to condemn her? But at the end of the day it is a 'car' and not a lorry lol. She also uses it for car boot sales so all this wear and tear means it has been too heavy for the poor axle and Bang! I did suggest she should buy a van but she's getting it repaired, to break another day lol. Amy told me her daughter's flat has a back and front garden so that will be really nice for the kids, and she is moving in next Friday.
OH came home around 6 pm - not so early today. He went to the shop for some milk and came back with a Chinese takeaway for tea which saved me cooking omelettes. Really dislike cooking so I was not complaining! Got a disturbing message from daughter saying the toddler had accidentally knocked a cup off of a shelf in a shop and broken it. The shopkeeper wanted her to pay for it but she didn't have cash on her. Shopkeeper called a man and they tried to keep her in the shop and take her bracelet as payment! They got out of the shop and he followed her down the road grabbing her and insisting she give him something from her bag to pay for it or give her bracelet over. Her friend stopped him and they got back to the hotel safely. She saw the rep who advised her to report it to police but she was told the police don't speak much English and probably wouldn't do anything anyway. And the cup was only worth around £6! To be honest I would have paid for it if one of my kids had broken something, but really intimidating someone and following them is not on.
Oh Dear Storm In A Tea Cup!
Today (Saturday) OH had the day off so we went shopping to Lidl and B&M. Saw a food processor and liquidiser for £29.99 so bought it as it was a reasonable make - Russell Hobbs. I have got an old food processor that Amy gave me years ago (she bought a job lot in an auction) but only used it once as it was not complete and had no instructions with it. Also had lots of bits some of which didn't even belong to it! Well, it might regenerate my interest in cooking - you never know. Have grated some cheese for cauliflower cheese and a carrot to test it so far lol. Heard from daughter and she is all ok but staying in the hotel for the day as it is 35 C on the beach! They are all off to a dinner and show tonight and a boat trip tomorrow. Sounds good to me.
Bye for now All the best x
