In Between Days

Monday.

We decided to head into Bridgeford. We needed some essentials and so we caught the bus instead of walking into the village where we might not get what we wanted. 

We stopped off for a latte at Costa, before going in Iceland and M&S.  Having got those O nipped into Specsavers as I've seen a pair of frames I like, so I might ring up and book an appointment. Ive not long had an eye test and would be able to just have prescription put into those. Fingers crossed I could have the reactions lenses in so that I could benefit from not lugging my sunglasses around with me when I wear them. We got back home and settled down to relaxing afternoon watching something that had been recommended to us by Pete, Small Prophets. Very funny. 

Tuesday.

We woke up around 8.30am, showered, changed and headed out to meet Sue and Pete, we didn't need much shopping so after we left them after a lovely lunch, ( I was very good and had salad, but I did allow myself a red wine!) We caught the bus and went to Arnold. We wanted to go to the large Aldi there, to pick up some of the special buys they had in the middle aisle, they have loads of beauty stuff because its coming up to Mother's Day so, I got myself some of the offers on the basics. I also grabbed a couple of candles the hotel collection ones that are dupes of the Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarin ones. I got Kev a dark chocolate Easter egg ( because if you don't get them now the choice will get worse as it gets nearer Easter. I also got some red and green lentil pasta, which hopefully be lower carb than the regular pasta. 

Not at Aldi but I did pick up a Clinque mascara in town this morning. I'm fed up with cheaper brands, they don't do what I want from them and I think its about time I realised this, stop buying cheaper stuff and get something that I know works. Clinique have always been one of those brands that I've used for years. Reliable and I can guarantee they do what it says on the packaging. Plus wearing lenses means anything that close to your eyes needs to be gentle and non irritating. Ive even tried the brands supposed to be for more mature ladies ( not cheap by any means, but still find that they don't exactly do as they promise) I dont wear anything remotely like the amount I used to, but I still like to wear some make up when I go out.
