    Very nice - and at least you know your money is not going to one of the global giants with their dubious means of dealing with HMRC.

    There is a similar version in Stafford behind Wilko and in Nantwich at the Methodist church in town but I've not been recently. They have soup lunches on Thursday as well - very useful as there are no cheap eateries, no Greggs, poundbakers, Morrison caf! etc

    We have a Christian Book Shop nearby, we installed a phone system there, and I have a signed book by Terry Waite from when he visited. They are rather expensive though.

    Took mum to visit care home and :dance::dance::dance: Wednesday after work she will be moving in :j:j:j

    Was there with mum and Hilary nearly 2 hours had a :coffee: and tour went all over and mum chose her room :D

    We also stopped and chatted to staff and other inmates :cool: :rotfl::rotfl:

    Mum even knows were she will be sitting for her tea on Wednesday and met the couple she will be sitting with a lovely married couple.

    Mum seemed a lot happier she would have stayed ;)

    Got taxi back to old care home but went in pub first :beer: and had our dinner and mum had a pot tea she said that was 2 lovely cups she had had that day in pub and new care home :T:T:T

    I have left her enough clothes in old home and fetched others home to wash even though they clean they will smell better blowing dry on the line :D

    Saw the red arrows fly overhead today :D We were at the villages summer fair , always a good do. It s where Dawn lives and it was on the field by the school.

    Apparently they were in LLandudno and they stopped to refuel at the aerospace place nearby so someone must have asked could they do a fly over the field on their way back down south. :D
