Then we left to come home, I was planning to go to the store and pick up groceries but unfortunately the car started making very nasty noises. Went straight to the garage. Turns out it is broken springs and coils (old car of course) gonna cost $1,000 - however, I am beginning to be glad we do have an old car as everyone, including the garage today, says how solid a car it is. It has certainly been a good one for us. Will get the car back tomorrow morning, in time for bowling!!
Then I phoned the grocery store and Ghupal - one of the click and collect people - offered to bring the groceries to us after her shift. Really nice of her. Then I realised our shopping trolley was in the car so borrowed one from a neighbour. Ghupal arrived around 9:20 or so and we unloaded everything into the borrowed trolley. She lives fairly close to us apparently which was convenient. I was very grateful to her.
Guess I need to get up early in the morning, not sure what time they said the car would be ready, so...
This recipe is from Mushrooms Canada. I would not use Miracle Whip personally, but each to their own.

Have a great day
Don't knock Miracle Whip. Sometimes I prefer it to mayo. Very nice of that young woman. Not too many would offer. My car is now ten years old. But I only have 43,000 miles on it so it will be mine for a few years more.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand the stuff Denise. Actually she's no youngster, but yes, it was really nice of her. Our car is 17 yrs old I think. Still runs well.
DeleteThat was nice of her to bring your groceries to you.
ReplyDeleteWe only use Miracle Whip.
It was Alex. Nice woman.
DeleteAs I said above, I can't stand the stuff. Too sweet for a start.
So there are still people in the world who are simply nice. Ouch on the car bill, but it got fixed quickly.
ReplyDeleteThere certainly are Susan. Unfortunately it turned out that I can't get the car until Thursday now. Pain in the you know what.
DeleteThat's a hefty bill, but if the car is usually reliable, cheaper than investing in a new one.
ReplyDeleteYou're right it is Diane. Being an older car it is also more 'solid' that most of the cars around today.
DeleteI only ever use Hellman's/Best Foods for mayo. Never liked Miracle Whip. Sorry about the car repair. It's been nonstop repairs here too. I'm sooooo tired of it plus it costs a small fortune.
ReplyDeleteThose older cars are usually more solid and trustworthy. My first car many years ago was ancient but it just kept going and going.
