    Sounds like a great shopping trip....took me a while to work out "Marine- Condiment- sounding shop"...lol.  I agree presents should be about needs and not just wants. Last year, my daughter gave me a set of mesh produce bags because she knows I hate buying veg in plastic bags and MIL got me some lovely fleecy socks.  I love presents like that. 
    Nope, I still can't get the shop 
    Got it ..... about 2.30 this morning

    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Oh you have been making me smile with all your guessing.
    @ziggy2407 - I hope your sudden realisation at 2.30am didn't mean that my obfuscation kept you awake! I pinged awake at 4am myself for absolutely no good reason that I could think of. Insomnia is so draining....not to mention infuriating, isn't it?
    I didn't mean to set everyone puzzling, I was just trying not to advertise.

    Cranky I got very excited as I spotted the clothes from marine.condiment shop in M&S in big shopping mall not far from Manchester too….my favourite shop of all time 😃
    Yes, that's exactly the place that I meant. The place with the cathedral and the city walls has the condiment shop itself. I seem to think that you were close by that place at the weekend. 
  • Love that shop but find I have to go in to take a look as it's rarely what I imagined when I order online. The clothes last really well. You really had a good shop there foxgloves! Sometimes it falls into place doesn't it.
