A Grand Day Out

We had a day out yesterday, and just for a change, we thought it would be a good idea to go to a shopping centre!

So at 09:30 yesterday morning we set off for 'Cheshire Oaks' The weather was a bit on the damp and windy side, but even though it's not a 'mall' there are enough covered walkways to ensure that even bad weather is not a problem.

We did spend quite a bit of cash, as the sales reductions on some already quite impressive prices was hard to resist - especially for Amy who still had some Xmas money to spend. I was very tempted into purchasing a 'RD-85DT' 160 GB HDD/DVD Recorder from the Toshiba outlet - £229 but eventually decided to leave it until, either a) Get new TV, or b) Existing DVD player packs up. Hopefully neither of those will happen too soon!

After leaving there we headed just a little North and visited some friends (Peter & Carol) in Knowsley for a hour, before finally arriving home again at 21:30 with an average fuel consumption figure of 49.5 MPG - good to see the new engine is finally starting to loosen up.
