We went to the Post Office in the village to return something to Amazon. That done, we nipped into Sainsbury's to buy a few things. Kev had 20% and a ten pound voucher to spend. So we got the wine to take to Sue's Christmas Day, and other bits and bobs for next week. Its the first time we've been in since the refit of the freezers and I must admit it does look better. It's not the nicest of shops, and remember working there one day when it snowed and I was unable to get in to Arnold, not very friendly. I never went again, luckily that was one of the worst snow days we've had since we moved to Cotgrave. The other one was when I had a day off and Kev didn't. He got into work, but then struggled to get home as they pulled the buses. He had a nasty fall in town too, luckily Charlotte was with him and she helped him. They had to get a taxi home, but that only dropped them off at the Shepherds and they had to walk from there. They didn't get home until gone 7 pm.
After we had what we needed we caught the bus into Bridgeford and had a coffee, getting the bus home after. We did that rather than try and get in at one of the places here, the Pig and Pudding in the village was packed and Streza is too far of a walk, and walk again home with a heavy bag. So , nipping into Bridgeford was a better option. It got us out for a bit, and got our steps in, not that its a problem now I have the treadmill, if I need to move and walk I can always use that now.
Kev did a full roast dinner, as we got some lamb steaks, as with him being at work, we dont get much chance at one. It was a shitty day weather wise, so it w
as nicer to come home rather than eat out.
We will be out a lot next week in any case, it's his birthday on Monday so we will go out then, and then we meet Sue and Pete on Tuesday in town, Wednesday lunchtime we are having a catch up with Tracy Milano at Shepherds and Thursday is at home, but it's our Christmas "fuddle" with Charlotte. We always have one just before She breaks up, and we have a bit of a giggle and food and a drink. So a busy week ahead.
Kev helped me sort out my Tim Holtz stamps collection, I got some more protective sleeves to save losing any small stamps that might come adrift and also makes them easier to organise. I have a few with die sets, so I pop the dies in the same folder and that keeps everything to hand. After Christmas I think it's time for a bit of a cull of my bigz dies in the bottom drawer of my filing cabinet. There are some I wouldn't part with for the world, but I do have others that never see the light of day so I think its time to let go.
Mind you, I do always say that my greatest superpower is getting rid of stuff just before I need it, so I might have to think long and hard before I do.
