Love Tokens!

I really do, I love receiving gift tokens. We tend to keep them for a while then have a bit of a spending spree when we have the time to do things properly. So yesterday we took an envelope of tokens [saved from my birthday, Bob's birthday and Christmas] and were able to get a few things we had been saving up for - but did even better, because of the sales

Full marks to

  • HMV - where we got the DVD of Cloud Atlas [Bob's wanted this for ages] and the latest Rend CD- and because of a Sales Offer, got the DVD of 'Theory of Everything' as well. And the assistants were brilliant, they knew exactly where things were in the shop.
  • John Lewis - Bob's got his new Satnav at last. I am not saying the original needed replacing - but we were unable to navigate to anywhere which had any of the letters S-Z in its name or its postcode!
  • Maplin - replacement soldering iron in the sale
  • M&S - underwear [and not the usual boring plain stuff either]
  • Castle Mall Post Office, for its very efficient self-service section [no queue]
I also found in Thorns the replacement gasket for my pressure cooker, and in Jarrolds I finally got the candles for my Swedish Tree [also 30% off in the sale] so they will be going in the box ready for next Christmas.
For lunch we went to Clark and Ravenscroft's Deli - Alexandra Ravenscroft, one of the owners, is the daughter of the late, great John Peel.

The food is really good - and they make the sandwiches to order [so you can have red onion marmalade instead of tomato chutney, if you like!] 
Another successful day in one of my favourite cities - exploring the lanes and enjoying the sunshine.









And that is my sales shopping done for another year - thanks to all my nearest and dearest who made it possible!
