Going shopping

Because my partner went fishing yesterday I went shopping today. I needed to get school uniform for my eldest and I like going in the pound shop. I did manage to get a nice lie in before I went and I got some washing done and put out on the line (we are due to have rain tomorrow and I needed to clear some of the pile that is building up)

Sadly the range of clothes that was able in the school uniform section was not very good at all. I was only able to get him his gym kit and three shirts. I did see some trousers but I did not want to get them as I did not have much to spend (I was not planning on getting trousers today anyway) I do think that I will just order the rest of the uniform Online. I only need to get some trousers, three shirts and name tags. I might get some more socks but I can get that at a later time.

I will take my son into town the week before he is due back to start to get his feet measured and get him his school shoes.

I did spend a lot in the pound shop though. I think it is great. I got toys for the younglings and some things that my partner had asked for. I got more DVD cases and a thing to make ice lollies. I also got something for my friends birthday. While I spent quite a bit there I know that if I had have got them elsewhere I would have spent a lot more that what I did.

While I was out I treated myself to a coffee and chips at one of the cafes. It is a very sweet cafe (it is a proper traditional cafe) After that I went and stood by the sea for a bit. I need to get to the sea more often. I find it so soothing to be there. I love the smell of the sea and the sound of it. I really hope that I eventually live in a town right by the sea (or within easy walking distance)

When I got home I took the remaining DVD's out of their boxes and put them into the cases. There has been some DVDs that we will be keeping in their boxes, but not many. Now I need to sort out what DVD is in what case and write out a list.
