It's Thursday again! It seems like days have been flying to weekends already. And as usual, Thursday is grocery shopping day for me.
After we bring the kids to school, we head straight to the shop. Our first stop is Lidl, this is our main shop. I love Lidl for its fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and meat. And because of Lidl App, I also got free item and today I got a free digestive dark chocolate biscuit which is Mum's favourite. Oh, I love the word "free"!
Then the next stop is Asda at the shopping centre and Poundland for the rest of the things we needed for a week. Our budget per week for food is £100 and sometimes we're short especially if we're getting things that we don't supposedly should. I blame the husband when he sees some new tools but today I'm so happy. It feels like Christmas as my husband bought me a new pan!
Haha, you know you're getting old when you appreciate home stuff than makeup and perfumes. I was jumping out of happiness coz I really want a new pot. I scrub the other one with a steel brush and ruins it. So I make sure to look after this.
After shopping, I thought he will go to KFC but no he turns left to McDonald's. He said he's having a Big Mac. I only want a cheeseburger and mozzarella dippers. And after getting our food. He asked me, " Where do you want to go today?" Ayiee. Kinikilig pa rin ako every time he asks me that.
So I told him we can go to Scrabo for a change because we were in Island Hill last week. This Scrabo is the one with the Tower if you remember.
But we didn't go up there we parked on the side. There's a picnic table where you can also do a barbecue in the area. Many come here for a walk, especially with their dogs. This is my first time to go this side of Scrabo so I don't know what's in there.
We enjoy our food. But I wasn't happy with this Monopoly thing that you peel because the expiration date says May and the other one is June even if you win something, you cannot redeem it? Sad.
After we eat and throw our rubbish, my husband grabs my hand and told me we are going for a walk. Haha, I would love to! So off we go here in Killynether Wood.
Tall trees, I wonder how old these trees are and so many big rocks everywhere. The husband said the rocks are from the volcano. It's not easy to climb up here with kids. Everyone should be walking with caution. And holding hands while walking. 😜 And mind you it took me three lectures for him to perfect the heart. 😅
And here's the rewarding moment when we reach the top and be stunned by this panoramic view of County Down. We can even see the Mourne Mountains in the background.
And on our way down, we pick up some blackberries. And I can tell you it's sweeter than the ones in the shop. My husband keeps picking for me but he's the one who eats the most.
And off we head back to the car coz were afraid that the meat and some frozen groceries will all be soggy.
And that's a lovely Thursday with my husband. And as soon as I get home, I started my cooking as the kids will be home shortly. So I made them this Garlic Buttered Prawns! I put extra garlic in it. Very satisfying, we ate a lot using our hands.
And that's the part of my Thursday shared with yous all. I had a lovely day, a quality time with my husband.
Take my advice, keep the love alive, keep nurturing the relationship. Have a date, hold hands, have fun together that's also a key to keeping a happy and healthy relationship.
Thank you all for reading.
It's true. Having a kids doesn't mean that you can't go on a date. It's better to boost your love like what you have before. It's important. Thanks for sharing this nakakakilig na story. 😅
