Shopping

Was woken up again today but today was L...she switched on TV in living rm..grrr..but when I woke up, it was off. I swore it was on..n it didn't sound like it came from their room. Anyway, did some surfing then decided to go out since weather turns out to be good today. Packed my clothes and stuff for my overnight trip tmr. Lazy to dress up so just wearing tshirts and 3/4 jeans..haha!

Headed out to Northfield Shopping Centre cos I saw a boy's sunsuit on sale online and I didn't seem to see it at the Bearwood branch. Wanted to buy for LT's son cos she asked me to look out for those sunsuits for her daughter who's outgrowing her current one..and turns out she likes the one that I saw yday at Debenhams too..so went town to get it after Northfield. Oh, I was happy to get a dress too..the other time I was at the Bearwood one, they didn't have my size..well, actually the cut is quite big so even for my size, I could go a size smaller but they didn't have liao. Anyway I thought I can either alter it or wear a belt. I like it and on sale..so why not? Hehe! Anyway the kids sunsuit was my first purchase at Debenhams..this dept store is like Robinsons or Tangs..things more atas kind.

On my way back from town, stopped by the big Morrisons...it's really BIG! And I was amazed at how many different cuts of pork they have!! Was excited also cos the pork belly joint was on offer..so only
£3.74/kg! Too bad only left 2 pieces of boneless pork belly joint and other piece had lesser skin..so I bought..in case Sun need to cook braised pork or roast pork belly. Haha..the joint with the bones was too big a piece. But at least I know where to get it if I want! The pork knuckle was big and sold by weight too. I was thinking even if I don't cook on Sun for church, I can just eat when I want it!

M replied my email...she told me to go ahead with my chicken rice and cook any pork dish for the minister and added that she thought the braised pork pic looks good..hahaha! I had sent pic of the food I mention so she knows how it looks. So I prob will cook that and chicken rice. Told her they can have the pork too if the minister has his fill. Hah! Not sure if I should cook french beans also (cos xiao bai cai is v ex here..no point buying then can't cover the cost in a way). I'm not intending to claim the cost from them la..just take it as if I pay for my meal la...Have written down my list of things to buy and bring. Hope they won't buy their stuff to put in mine while I'm away..but I'll be buying my stuff on Sat. Heavier items will be chicken and melons..but I should be able to manage..otherwise just do two trips cos the melons are in Harborne while others can be from Aldi at Bearwood. Oh..and I asked how much rice to cook cos I don't know how to estimate and she said for them, she usually cooks about 1/2 cup for 2 of them..and said people don't eat a lot of rice! Hah..so that means for 6 people (excluding the plain rice), I can cook 1.5 cups but shall cook 2 cups to make it safe.

Eating my leftover ribs from Mon for dinner tonight. Yay!! Going to York tmr! It will be a nice break! Anyway for the Korean drama, I should be finishing it tonight! Quite a nice show! Till now it's more funny than sad!
