I have plans for tomorrow which do not involve going to work. I have the day off and will go to Birmingham.
As it's not going to be a blazing hot day I've decided not to set out really early but to get the bus after 9.30am when it's cheaper, which means I can have breakfast before I set out. And luckily it appears that when the standard bus fares went up recently, the daytripper fares (ie bus/train/tram day tickets) did not.
I have shopping to do in Birmingham, which involves going to Lush to stock up on soaps, Boots or Superdrug for E45 lipbalm and some own-brand handcream, M&S for lingerie, Hotel Chocolat for chocolate, Selfridges for JellyBeans, Dixons (or whatever it's called) for one of those brick-tough iPhone cases, and possibly The Disney Store to look at baby stuff with Tigger on. Or possibly look at non-Tigger baby stuff in Mamas & Papas or elsewhere. And not to go to the food court at the Pavilions for lunch, it's high time to find somewhere else for a change, even if I end up with sushi or a panini yet again. And something cold from Starbucks on the way home again perhaps? Cos those things are yum, and I only have maybe two or three a year.
