Beautifully decorated despite being full of young girls, 11 yrs down. Princess Di went there several years later than I of course.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-69659230294824531832019-02-20T17:26:48.013-05:002019-02-20T17:26:48.013-05:00You sound like my husband about shopping!

I went to a summer camp in England once in Tewkesbury and it too, was a grand mansion. A boy's school during the school year. I loved it. I think it's now a boarding school for kids with Dyslexia and other learning disorders.

But I was never left in the car, thank goodness. <br /><br />I didn't know about the comparison shopping although I have seen notes at the top of the screen quoting better prices for stuff. Will have to check that out. Love my sweat.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-16462564517211798452019-02-20T03:44:38.187-05:002019-02-20T03:44:38.187-05:00We're about to set forth for Gatwick airport e...We're about to set forth for Gatwick airport en route to Malaysia and Singapore so will overdose on oriental food - such a multicultural society there. <br /><br />David is one for shopping around (online) and always searches out cashback deals - I can't be bothered - life's too short!

I'd have a notebook or a book to keep me company. No wonder I hate shopping now. <br /><br />And online comparison shopping is so easy. If you have google, just put in what you're searching for and click shopping and it shows you all the stores with all the items at what price. That's how I found a certain Grandma Dragon sweatshirt. I accidentally found it in a tee, but wanted it in the warmer version since winter was coming. Put what I wanted in the search bar and google did the rest!Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.com
