Group 7-day waking average?

I have a Lidl and an Aldi less than 5 mins drive from me. I prefer Aldi generally especially their smoked salmon but they don’t have a fresh bakery part. Tends to be the usual pre packed loaves and I’ve not found any low carb in Aldi.

Happy shopping 🙂
I prefer Aldi also Amigo. Their smoked salmon is very reasonably priced as is most of their produce.
 
11.4 but I have just been told to up my dose of pregabilin and that can affect sugar levels. Could also be the sleepless night and muscle spasms.
 
I don't mind if you send your housekeeper to me Vince if you could spare her ~ I could do with a little help, oh I feel a song coming on!.........:D
I know if I had a cleaner, I would clean before they came
 
Just the kids we need to buy for really and my granddad, first ever trip to an Aldi too so I will be spending a good while scouring their stuff too!! Haha xx
They do lovely 70%chocolate and not expensive
 
Well you have three stores where I'm sure you will find everything you need ~ you might even come home with some change too! Haha!
We have all these in Leven, so my future plan when I retire is to get a funky hurly girly shopping trolley and walk to shops..not for another 3 years at least

I actually have a friend who does just that Carolg lol True
 
Yes PLEASE K
Would very much appreciate it 🙂
I have to change my shopping style from my usual IN, GRAB, OUT, to being more selective.
I got lovely oats bread from there. Not cheap but worth every slice
 
Will do, hat, scarf and gloves are prepared and waiting lol x
Was in next on Thursday, screeched to a halt at a model with cosy pj’s. Fell totally in love. Know what I have told my family about. Hint hint
 
10.1 for me, but had bought an extra pack of fudge for Xmas pressies.. now no more. Feel a wee song going on. White out with frost here today, and busy exciting day ahead. Have a good one all, and Northerner, glad to see you back and recovering

I'd be doing the same Carol ~ my daughters want to bring in a *domestic engineer* to help me out but i said not until I tidy & clean first😳
 
Morning all.🙂 5.8 here.😛

It’s raining! :D Let’s hope it lasts long / rains heavily enough to fill our empty reservoirs.🙄

What’s (or who’s?) a fat rascal @khskel?

I seem to get side swiped every time I’m in town by some old lady dragging one behind her cutting people up.

It's like a cross between a scone and a rock bun I think it's a Yorkshire thing. Not supposed to call them Fat rascals anymore as Betty's trademarked them even though they've been around for a few hundred years

You and your passion for those lethal shopping thingys on wheels make me laugh @Amigo:D I lurve my thingy convertible 2/4 wheels but I am truly careful & considerate when I'm out with mine, honest!🙂 I have to say not all shopping thingy owners are!!!😡 x

@Vince_UK I am so so sorry but I never managed to get a look at the bread etc

I had every intention to BUT we were at B&M's and I went low so had to recover etc and then felt like utter c**p so Aldi was just a quick in and out, I'm so sorry as I feel like I have let you down :( xx

You’ve unfortunately fulfilled my prediction Kaylz because I’d wanted to post this morning and advise you to take sweets or something in case you went low with all the rushing about but thought twice about it because of your issues with eating beyond your comfort zone.
How did you handle going low? Did you have something to take?

Vince won’t care at all about the bread, he’ll only be too concerned for you! 😱

Has happened to many of us Kaylz - I’m sure Vince won’t mind at all. Having a nasty low when out and about is no fun at all. Live and learn eh 🙂 sorry you felt grim afterwards - don’t blame you for cutting the rest of the trip short.

Plump blackguard perhaps?

Portly rapscallion?
