Making The Most Of The Bargains....

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it - J.P Morgan
I was up before 8am...
The washing machine went on,
I enjoyed a cup of tea,
Now to catch up with MY programme while everyone else was sleeping...
  After watching the episode about Christmas Wreaths, everyone got up!
I put the Christmas Wreath on the front door..↓
I put on my Santa hat with the bells... 
Now off for a little ride....↓
 First stop was to visit Aldi's↓
 We had to visit Morrison's next door to get some more things.
We got lots of reduced food...↓
 Next I visited Argos to pick up another ottoman to put more linen in from the Airing Cupboard↓
 We popped into Sainsburys to see if they had any reduced food!
Loads!
We gets back home↓

Emptied the tumble drier twice.

Only For One, Not For Two!

One can never be too thin or too rich - Wallis Simpson
As normal,
My body clock woke me up at 6.13am!
As there was no clock radio in the room.
I had to scroll down the freeview tv and find Radio 2 for "Sounds of the 60s" to listen to.
We went to have a shower together...
No room for two, only one!
Then back to use up the whole space of bed!
 There wasn't enough milk in the room.
We had a cup of tea last night when we arrived...
Just enough milk to have a cup of tea when we got up!
Looks out of the window↓
Then off to enjoy all you can eat breakfast.
Yum!
We tried to get back into our room afterwards..
The door kept flashing red and wouldn't open↓
 Back down to reception to tell them about the problem.
When we came back up, after 5 attempts, the door finally opened!
We packed our bag and said goodbye to the lovely bed!
 Out and back to the car
 
 
 Our room was in the middle↑
Back home↓
 Quick play with Kenny↓
 Cake put in oven.
