The convenience of living in a big city with relatively efficient public transport, from home to the NEC by train in less than 45 minutes....and no £10 parking charges either. Apparently most of the city had descended on the Grand Designs show at the NEC on Saturday morning when we went. Fortunately left the children at home with my mum, luckily she is here for a couple of months (thats another post). It was a productive visit for us, with the kitchen and bathroom section, hopefully all will go well in the next few months.
Surprise of the day - seeing a Goan food stall!!!! Run by Savio from London who travels to exhibitions across the country. Tasted the Prawn Balchao - very good. Wanted to place an order for sausages but told he does them only in the summer :(. Restaurant called Olde Goa in Croydon.
Ikea have money off vouchers for this month! Another surprise. £5 off £20 etc. Looking forward to carting sacra famile along for a morning of sofas, kitchens, plants, odds and ends, meatballs and the play area. Not to forget the 35p ice cream cone at the end which isn't great but my children think is heaven on earth......
