Twisted Kites

Holiday today! About half an hour before I have to leave for the airport.

Hope I’ve not forgotten to pack anything. Already took some non essential out so I can bring goodies back without going overweight hopefully.

I’ve put in a tube of Pringles into my case. Hope it survives the baggage handlers. Pringlecrumbs just aren’t as tasty.

iPod is charged, I have a book to read, Euros sorted for the shuttle bus. Shame I have to buy a drink either on the plane or Airside, as I can’t even take my own bottle of water through. I always have a bottle of water with me. Sure I’ll survive a few hours.

Obviously, I might not be blogging while away unless I find bargain wifi! I think the hotel has it in places, something I’ll find out about when I get there.

BUT!! Through the powers of magic (or a Wordpress feature) some blog entries may appear randomly without me having to do anything. Yes, future scheduled posts, aren’t they fantastic.

Have a nice week everyone, doing whatever it is you’re doing.

Went into Coventry centre today. Picked up a bunch of Euros of course. Found a load of good stuff, some of which were good bargains including the following:

Picked up some cargo shorts (hot sunny weather willlllll be here alllllll summer), one fairly standard pair from Debenhams at £15 (a few pounds of in a sale) and a Slazenger pair for just £6 from TJ Hughes. Also from TJs a new suitcase, super light, average size, large capacity, deep purple colour (easy to find on the carousel), down from 40 to just £16.

A charity comedy DVD down from a tenner to just 99p from a bargain shop. Also in the same bargain shop, a 6 pack of Guinness for £4.99, cans of D&B (hard to find these days!) for 23p a piece, 2 tubes ‘of XXL’ sized Pringles for £1.38 total, bottle of Marstons for 99p (£1.59 in supermarket) and a bottle of apple flavoured vodka mix drink (£2-3 in a bar) for 39p!

Stopping at United Footwear on the way home, found a pair of Base light brown suede shoes for £19.99, and a pair of black leather Skechers slip ons for just £5!

I do think I’ve done pretty darn well today.
