Yeah I think I'll have to get it online in future, ASDA's wild bird seed is really expensive.
Well I've been all around the houses today! Wilko's Bolton branch were showing out of stock for bird seed so I jumped on the train to Wigan, I got two 5kg bags of wild bird seed for £8
never thinking I'm not in the car & have to carry this lot along with some cat biscuits/treats
The bleddy handle broke on the plastic bag so I had to go back into Wilko's and I bought a cheap backpack for 5 quid (it'll come in handy) Back to Wigan Wallgate station & since the pandemic the timetables have changed
and the train I needed was on the WCML western station, you can see it from Wigan Wallgate station but it's a bit of a walk for an owd phart like me with a gammy knee
I ended up catching the Manchester Piccadilly train as it would have been over an hour til the next Manchester Victoria train which stops at my nearest station (they used to run every 31 minutes) .I got to the main Bolton station then jumped on a bus which is next door to the railway station to get home
Good job it costs me nowt with the free travel pass
Me right knee is the size of a football again and is screaming now
I'm tempted to open a bottle of Henry's to take an handful of painkillers.
