I took my recycling along to Tesco earlier today. It's great, they have the recycling machine and you put your glass, plastic and tins in and you get 1 Tesco green point for every 4 items you recycle. It's a bit hit and miss as to if the machine will be working when you arrive...it's a little temperamental at times you see. Hurrah I screamed to myself as I turned the corner and saw the machine alive and well. I had 2 great big bags of stuff to put in it you see and it drives me made having to leave it in the car until the next time I'm passing if the machine is a little poorly and not working. As I started putting all my empties in I kind of got a bit shy and turned a little so no one could see just how many bottles of alcohol I was putting in. ![]()
There is a new advertising campaing running at the moment about how many units of alcohol you drink in say a glass of wine or beer. It is worrying really when you think about what was downed over the weekend. For me that means I have had the entire months worth of units in 3 days 
Oh dear, I am a lost cause as I just can't say no to a little drinkie or 3. So there I was, posting in the bottles and listening to them crash and counting 1,2,3,4,....
I had a rummage in the sale rack while I was in there and got a bra and trousers! Bargains, I love 'em!! The sales assistant forgot to take the tag off the trousers and of course as I passed through the barrier the alarm went off very loudly!
The security guard come over to me and asked for receipts etc. Now I didn't have a problem with that, of course not, that is his job but I did have a problem with him getting the bra out of the bag and showing the world the size of it! I think he was doing it on purpose
For goodness sake, it's bad enough having to walk around with the equivalent of 2 2lb bags of sugar clamped to your chest, but don't advertise it mate or I may have to slap you round the head with my French stick!!!
Thank heavens I didn't buy knickers too as they are the size of a small marquee and would have traumatised any children in the vicinity!
I made myself feel so much better by eating a custard doughnut in the car before setting off home. You should have seen the state of my face when I got home...sugar everywhere and all stuck to my chin.
...and I drove home like that too!

custard donut? Yum. Time to go baking summat tasty I think. Men hey? Why would you not be more discreet with the shopping? I don't like that ad, it makes out like nobody can work anything out.
Like hubby said, it's not like all drinks are served by the unit, and you can't exactly divide a bottle of wine by the number of units each time you pour!
glad you're well
