We went to Manchester during the weekend and bought some groceries from Chinatown. Not really in Chinatown but it is one of the bigger Chinese supermarket, the Wing Yip.
It has a Chinese restaurant called the Glamorous restaurant above.
Ate there before, the food is not bad but can be expensive…hehe.
Anyway, just bought these groceries, mostly sauces and noodles.
I am not cooking so much nowadays as I am busy working 3 nights a week. Why? Money! Also have my class on Mondays and then I have applied for my UK driving license…hehe…all the while I have been using international driving license which is illegal. You can only use it the first 12 months. So, have to study, go for driving classes and the full works! Arghhhh! So hopefully I will pass…my manual gear driving is a bit rusty..I drive automatics here…
By the time I am done with all those, nearly my whole week is gone, not to mention the piling housework and IRONING!!!! HATE IRONING!!!! NEVER ENDING CYCLE!!!!!!
So, that’s about it. By the way, for those of you waiting for the contest result, I will announce it later in the week…hehe. And if you don’t win, don’t fret, I have more contests and prizes coming soon including some prizes from Timberland….mmmmm……
Good luck with your driving test! I’ve been driving in Malaysia with my Kiwi license for the past 5 years, well ever since I got it really :p 15 years ago. hehehe ssscccchhhhh… I think that’s not allowed either :p
All the best with the driving test. U can do it.

Good luck in your driving test & happy cooking!
