1) Cashiers are also known as tills (I was asking if I was after a till at Tesco but didn't know what it was until the lady said check out).
2) Cash out (or taking money out while charging to your debit card at the check out) is known as cash back
3) Knock off work is known as finish work (I think they don't use the term knock off cos L laughed when I asked her what time people knock off from work..oops!)
4) ATM or tellers are known as cash points
Cooked pasta for lunch today with my celery and carrots and yes, the canned meatballs in tomato sauce. And I guess I didn't mention that I bought choc chip cookies and a bar of choc yesterday at Aldi supermart

and I thought the designs on the Tesco plastic bags are nice too so took pics of it
Wanted to head out to explore an area called Perry Barr cos saw online that they have a few shops that sell household stuff quite cheap and a few outlets stores there so thought I'll check it out. But it's about 1h journey by bus..hahaha! I prob can do this when I have time which is now. I guess when uni starts, I won't have much time to do shopping, even grocery shopping only on my way home! Well, it's great that shops here close ard 6+ to 7 or 8pm (supermarkets close later), compared to in Aust. Maybe I'll go tmr or thur. The orientation events are more or less fully registered and targeted more at undergrads. For Postgrads only like tea sessions or welcome evening etc. those usual networking stuff.
Oh ya..yday also past by the Uni Halls in the car..I'm sure my choice is right. Halls didn't look that lovely as where I am now..haha! L did ask if I wanted to stay in Halls and also asked abt the rent. Hmm..hope she doesn't increase mine! Till now haven't talked abt housekeeping matters..hah..keep telling me settle in first. I'm blessed!!
Shall watch my shows on laptop now..
