Combining Trips Saves Time & Diesel

My youngest Son aged 5 had to go to The West of England Eye Hospital this morning. That was another £1.50 gone on car parking. After spending a couple of hours there we made the most of the diesel on the way back by stopping at the supermarket for a new pair of jeans and a pack of socks, he chose monkey ones! We paid £1.75 for the jeans and £5 for the large pack of socks, it felt a bit odd paying more for the socks than the heavy denim.

Then we visited the country store for a new pair of wellies. Last time I bought him wellies they were green and white camouflage ones, they looked really nice and cost more than the practical green ones but they have lasted only 3 months before cracking. This time I bought the cheaper green ones and we will see how long they last compared to the last pair. These cost £7.95 but are necessary as we live on the land and have lots of smelly dung as well as all the mud and puddles during wet seasons. Combining trips saves me diesel and time too!
