Shopping in Newport & Liams Driving Test

The mission today was to transfer the money that we had saved in the Halifax and put it in the bank ready to pay off the holiday. So I got up at 10:00 am (how lazy was that) and had a shower. As I went to put my glasses on, the right hand lens fell out, which luckily didn't break. Lisa had a look all over the bathroom floor for me trying to find the screw. No luck so we went down into Lake to the opticians who sorted it out within 3 minutes bless them. Went to Newport with Lisa (Gemma had to go to work at 1pm & Elena was at school). Her eyes lit up as there were Sale signs everywhere and she loves Sales. She bought a black party dress for £9 (should have been £30), a red jumper for £7 (should have been £15) and a black evening bag & earings for £2.50. She is the queen of bargains lol. We had a strawberry milkshake from Thorntons. Andrew met us in Woolies so we posted the letters (including the thank you letters for Uncle Joe the Shorter & Uncle Wally) and carried on to the Halifax and HSBC. We went to our favourite little cafe for lunch and bought a card for Liam. He is taking his driving test at 3pm so we have everything crossed for him.

YAY - LIAM PASSED!!!
