Domestic Goddess Goes To Harbourne.

[NoMercy]

Yes, the domestic goddess had to go out, once again, to buy some groceries.

Knowing that I am going to be very busy next week, I thought I'd get plenty of stuff to take back to Hereford with me tomorrow afternoon - enough food to last me through til next Friday. My nan always offers to feed me, but somehow the thought of a salad topped with 185 deep fried chicken goujons doesn't exactly float my boat... so I infinitely prefer to go buy my own stuff.

Well I took a trip to Waitrose and bought the following:

2 Slices of rare beef from the Deli Counter.
1 Box Geo Organics Aloe Vera Sea Salts for Bathing.
1 Pack of Emery Boards
1 Bottle of Bredon Champagne (special offer).
1 Pot of Umi Peach and Macadamia Rejuvenating Sugar Scrub
1 Tube Umi Pomegranate and Acacia Honey Hand Cream
1 Pot Rachel's Organic Low Fat Cherry Yoghurt
1 x 4pk Eat Natural Almond, Apricot and Yoghurt bars.
1 Large Tub of help yourself salad.
1 Punnet Blueberries.
1 x 6 Free Range Eggs.

Eat your heart out, Nigella.
1 Pot of Umi

Well they used to do great tributes on a Monday night. I liked the Rod Stewart tribute they did one night... fabulous. We always used to eat at the Bird In Hand (about 10 of us) and then go down to Henley's for the tribute. Good times..

you went all the way to harborne from hereford?? am I missing something
harborne baths are being "done up" piggynose, what were you doing in harborne mighty white?

[boxtops]

There's a Waitrose in Harborne? there wasn't one when I lived in Quinton (but then that was 20 years ago!)

[cazzz1975]

its the old safeway box, there is an m&s further up past the clock tower

when I worked in Birmingham our team organiser lived in Harborne (near the Grove Hall), and usually managed to arrange our christmas dinners within stumbling distance of her house. We went to Buonissimo's several times - it's quite good, though not necessarily authentically Italian.

[boxtops]

Is TGI Friday's still on the Hagley Road near the Harborne turn-off?

[cazzz1975]

the building is still there but its called something else now

[boxtops]

I remember it being a pub before it became TGIF - way back when then, I used to work for Mitchells & Butlers - that was in the days when they still brewed in Smethwick, before they pulled it all down and built houses on it.
