Nothing is happening, but everything is really. Love the shawl - Jo is so clever. I'd love to meet her some day, and you. I think £100 for a weekly shop for 6 (especially Waitrose!) is very good. We can spend around £70-80 if we go to Aldi or easily over £100 if we go to Sainsburys, which is nearer and nicer. And there's only four of us. We do drink a lot of wine though.... xxGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-88512580404847169542017-01-15T17:19:49.851+00:002017-01-15T17:19:49.851+00:00Love the duffle and shawl combo.

Marc's new job means that he is only home every other weekend, and even then he gets home late Friday and leaves after tea on Sunday. I think a weekly shop from a nice supermarket, with a few treats, is entirely appropriate. Have a lovely weekend. <br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-17187965980342914112017-01-14T09:08:26.115+00:002017-01-14T09:08:26.115+00:00Not mundane at all!

Unfortunately Megan noticed the difference between frozen peas from Waitrose and those from Tesco. She doesn't normally eat peas but 'these' were lovely. i have inadvertantly reared a child snob!! have a good week, it might be quite hard going I guess or it might swing the other way and you can do all the deciding.

Awesome eh...you've got those children trained. What an amazing shop. Sadly tho we have Waitrose they don't deliver and they charge more for items over here. Freight charges according to them :(. Bet you will have a wonderful time in Cornwall. We are hoping to go there in may for one of our family holidays. Need to book a big enough cottage first. Hope it's not too cold up there.
