We have a huge one only about a 10 minute drive away. I parked up, grabbed a trolley prepared to blow the lot in one go. Didn't happen. Yes they had clothes I sort of liked but not in my size, or if in my size not in my length or in a good colour. The spaces between the clothes, bedding etc did not accommodate two trolleys passing each other so the whole time was spent backtracking to let someone through. After two hours I'd had more than enough and thought I should buy some flowers and food instead. I found a super bunch of roses (the last one)
and some lovely tulips.
Could I have a bag to stop them dripping? NO. Apparently giving me a bag could only happen when I paid. So I carried my dripping flowers round the food hall. My trousers got wet and I slipped on the wet floor as I was behind my dripping trolley.I gave up, paid and came away after two and a half hours with two bunches of flowers, one pair of jogging pants and a couple of bits of fun jewellery. GRRRRRR!
I'm still left with vouchers and I really am not looking forward to a repeat performance. I wonder if I can sell them on Ebay?
I did however go on to a new Waitrose supermarket. It is lovely, not like my local one. We had a wonderful mid week meal of smoked haddock and salmon tians followed by dressed lobster. A huge extravagance for no good reason but it was lovely.
I did manage a little work on my latest quilt but you'll have to wait a little to see that.
