We set off at 8am.

With my daughter safely delivered to school, we went to a town called Lublin!.

It is -9c and bloody freezing, but hey ho we went anyway. This time we set off via that thingy called a bus. 3zl or around 60 pence takes you the full distance of 35 miles or around 43 kilometers. (& you said it was expensive here?)

I do not normally use buses but this was a public interest exercise to see what it costs. We visited a nice warm and very devoid of customers shopping center to take in the shop they call Auchan. The meesterboom lookalike slippers were purchased from said establishment for the tidy sum of £4 or 20zl. :-) (And very comfy they are too.)

Whilst in this massive shop we stumbled upon a microscope that my daughter has been asking for for 6 months, and as that naughty Santa failed to deliver, daddy stepped up to the plate and secured one for the same price as my boomy slippers.

Hank marvin (starving) I was by now.

So with the rumble in the tummy to settle I did something I do not normally do, and I bought some junk food from KFC, 2 pieces of chicken for 60 pence, 1 portion of french fries for 40 pence, and 1 large chocolate milk shake for the price of both of the above combined plus a touch more, bringing my total to a grand total of £2 or 11zl (zloty).

With movingman going to all the wrong places to buy the things he wants.

I stated that clothes were in fact cheep here if he steps away from buying them in supermarkets, as we are not doing supermarket sweep here. Auchan is a supermarket though a very large one with permanent sections for clothes and electrical, not like Lidl where it is a 1 week affair with most things apart from food. A blender he said, go to Auchan I said, A shirt he said, go to Auchan I said, so we priced up both and my price I stated from memory was bang on the money with shirts for 25zl or £5 if you prefer and a blender for under a tenner, in "fact" only £5. (Hand blender note.)

Note tshirts for under £2.................

Bloody expensive here NOT!

We are safely back home now in the warm, and even just spoke to the mother in law outside on the way in, who has been out cycling in the snow at -9c, I have no idea how she manages not to fall off that bike but 1 day you just never know.

I shall do a restaurant guide price next time at a selection of my local bars/diners. As the closest one to me gets me 3 main-course meals, a bottle of red wine, any that I choose, 1 desert for my daughter, 2 drinks for my ladies and change from a tenner you see (£10)......

@shepz1 is wishing you all the very best day ahead, we have another day above ground, so make the most of it my friends. All images are obviously my own..................
