Welcome to my Halloween 👻

It was nice to have a lie-in...

Lots of rain going on outside...

Nice hug with brew.

Breakfast.

My watch has a button that has stopped working to put back the hour and minutes back!

I bought this watch four years ago...

Speaking of four years ago.

I had a major accident which involved my achilles tendon snapping off, breaking a bone in my foot. 8 months off work, learnt to walk again. 

The NHS,family and some good friends help me get better a lot quicker!

As soon as I got back to work at my old lollipop job, 

(I did 21/2 weeks before I broke up for the 6 weeks school holidays)

Then I was made redundant from it :(

At least I have another lollipop job to do....:)

One minute raining heavily, then it stops...

I put my lollipop stuff in the car ready for tomorrow. 🍭 

Coffee time.

Washing machine went on.

My hunt for a simple watch was on.

I was not going to get a £350 watch....

I don't need the bells and whistles......

At least a good DVD boxset arrived.

One son filled out his application to get a Passport.

(He is going on a Foreign School Trip next year)

I sorted it out.

The other son needed a Scientific Calculator for his A level Maths and Chemisty.

I got that for him.

I finally found a watch that wasn't in the £££££'s.

Lunchtime.

Now to watch Red 2.

Really Great Film :)

After watching it.

Time to write my blog post from yesterday!

Then it was time for showers for everyone!

Tea time.

Then to watch the first disc of the Kenny Everett boxset that was delivered today...

George Harrison's "Something" is released by the Beatles as a single in UK, his first "A" side in 1969.

Dame Shirley Bassey did a good cover of it...

Sleep Tea Time.

Back on the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow.

(Hopefully without all the rain we have had today)

We collected the newspaper on the way of dropping son off at work.

Lots of surface water on the road. 

Parks in Waitrose car park.

Now onto the first Charity Shop.

On came a good sing-a-long with:

I started to sing and two men in the shop really enjoyed me singing!!!!!!!!

Hubby paid for his CDs.

I waited until the end of the song, before I left.

The men thanks me for my singing and it made their day!

"It made mine,"as I left.

Moved on further down the High Street.

One charity shop wasn't open until 10am, so we had coffee and nibble...

Nice sign by where I sat.

While we were waiting to pay. The woman paid in advance for some cocktails that was being drunk there tonight.

The price was £68.

(Special offer was 2 cocktails for £12)

Goes to two more Charity Shops....

Gets more bargains...

Now to nip into Waitrose...

Finds the zero salt stock cubes I was looking for.

Now back home.

Unloads the things I bought today.

Jars are for one son for his seashell collection.

The Red lampshade is for the other son.

I am going to make a fabric Advent Calender for Christmas...

Coffee time.

Light lunch time.

Now to watch a good film while having lunch.

Really good film 

Now to check the types of Sexy Beast.... 

Back home.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Then we carried on watching 2 episodes of Hell's Kitchen.

Tea Time.

Then out to get some magic bags.

When we got back, let's have a look inside.

The milk was out of date by 2 days :(

I met my friend for chat, coffee and nibble.

One good yak...

Fits somewhere with the rest of the Lemax we have got at Christmas...

I said goodbye to my friend.

Now for more finger tapping along with the big songs...

Back home.

At least I got my Zoflora!

Hubby had been on my spin bike and watching "Squid Games".

Light lunchtime.

Now for a bit of Netflix binge..

Hubby then went shopping with younger son.

I had two blog posts to write.

I put tea in the oven.

Once they come back and I finished my blog posts.

Later on, tea was ready.

The curtains arrived for my son's room.

They are the bigger version of those in the Dining room.

Now to binge a bit on Prime Video.

Quick look into today's newspaper.
