I am currently temping at Lotus cars. I opened my payslip for last week's work to discover that I have been paid holiday pay for August Bank Holiday.

I have now visited the northernmost and southernmost Wimpy's in the UK.

So did I till I found one in Shrewsbury, so much better than McDonalds.

Apparently, there are about 60 left. There might be a plan to visit every last one. In one go, under development...

We went to the Wimpy in Brighton last month. Very clean & tidy, friendly & efficient staff and the food was surprisingly good.

Had Wimpeys in Luton long before MCDs arrived when I was a teenager, it was quite a treat when I had my own money and could choose what mum n dad would never buy me.  Nearest now would be the Aylesbury branch…..mmmm now then when are we over there for a theatre visit???  Think we’ve a date with Ultimate Classic Rock show in a few months. Ooooh, actually it’s later this month, 25th.  Wonder how close it is to the theatre

They were here a good while before McD's invaded. In my teens there was an ace burger joint, Rumblebelleys, owned by Greek Nicky Loizou. Best burgers, and relishes, I've ever had

Slightly odd that this sink is not on the wall next to the bot washer

This is some of the best I've seen on YouTube in a while. And there are English subtitles that explain everything.

Had the Lidl app for ages but never had much in the way of savings, just a few pence here and there.  Lots of offers for free bakery products of no use to me.

Also a load of Nectar points from diesel but never venture into Sainsburys.

Went to Pity Me Arnison* Centre. Looked in Sainsburys for Chinese tomato ketchup.  No go but found chocolate buttons that I have been looking for for ages (for great grandson) and some NZ Barolo wine.  Paid with Nectar points all but £1.76.

Then to Lidl for the bulk of today's shopping and it used a load of points.

Altogether sixty quids worth of stuff for £12.

A successful outing for a change.

 

*Spellcheck suggests 'arsonist'   

 

ED:  I was given a coupon for money off fuel.  Ripped it up as I very rarely see my car and haven't put fuel in it for ages, once this year I think.

Then realised that my son and his wife are off to foreign on Monday and I have the car for a couple of weeks.
