I Won The Bingo...
So got my money back and then an extra £5.50. I was thinking of buying a DAB alarm clock radio at a a discount supermarket that came to the exact money I had from the bingo and then I thought I wonder what other radios are around. I could've waited for Argos to open(a catalogue store)but went into Tesco's.
I found a radio that had been discounted by £10 but was £9 more than I planned to spend but and this is a little technical...
My original DAB radio packed up and yes I had a second one(I was going to say I don't remember how)I do now, I got one for Mum to keep her company for her last few weeks in the Care Home before losing her. I used to be able to play the first model through the old PC and listen to the radio whilst recording some radio to hard drive but the one I have cuts out as I have to use the earphone socket so I can't listen at the same time,
I could on the original model or have to play the radio via I-Player/internet. I was going to but a cheap bedside DAB/FM alarm clock so I can listen to that when the other radio cannot be heard but I found a portable and this performs better than the one I already have(which is supposed to be great brand)and it can be played into the PC so I can hear it again in stereo.
They are both mono but when connected to another system like a PC/Laptop or speakers it becomes stereo. And like the alarm clock DAB this can made to switch off at a time you decide and come back on to wake you. Seems a good buy to me.
I have a big chicken casserole on the slow cooker which I may save for the weekend in case I don't have room for the buffet at the music event later.
I have picked up a couple of food bargains that did not break the bank 4kg of potatoes, two big fruit and custard trifles, two cauliflowers and I paid...16p for the lot. And quality wise they are OK.

A-L
A very good idea. That casserole I said I may save...I didn't :-)
And the weather has been kind so the show will probably go ahead without any problems.
Its actually quite a nice sunny day and no shopping to do so tonight I will probably taking no extra baggage with me.
Perhaps a camera, money for my ticket, bus pass and mobile phone which all fit easily in my jacket pockets.
The phone is mainly used as a personal radio. I've no one to phone and don't expect anyone to phone me.
If I could take my own drink I would but I'll probably have to buy at least one but I'll make it last. If I think I can getaway with a bottle of water. I'll take that.
