Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐪

Nice big hug and brew to wake up too :)

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I woke up my kids for school.

I looked out of the window....

It's raining ☔

Out comes those sexy lumo trousers for the first time in 5 months!

Gave everyone their sloppy wet 💋💋💋

Out the door in the rain.

Here is a picture of those sexy lumo trousers↓

I turned on my lights

(no tree pic as it was raining)

I waited by Sexy Beast to start.

Now for the fun to start......

One black van decides not to STOP and goes straight under my Lollipop stick....

Some on the other side of the road just went for it and decided to ignore my lollipop and keep on going.....

Some of the parents were quite shocked at how car drivers were ignoring me and not stopping.

I just commented...."Let them get on with it!"

Something made my day......

It has been worth waiting for....

It purred when it went past me...

Followed by a yellow 4x4 one.

The rain finally stopped....

So many layers to take off when I finished!

I got my newspaper and my neighbour's magazine.

Back home.

Much needed coffee...

Now to phone the tax office up about the tax grab out of my wages.

I was put on hold, so I started to write yesterday's blog while waiting.

I finally got an answer 53 minutes later...

They sent my tax code last week to the company, and while talking to me, she resent it. They will have to refund it me in next month's wages.

I thanked her for that.

I emailed the company with my tax code, and to repeat what the tax office said, I have to have that money put back in my wages next month.

Then the emails started..

Just like a tennis match...

Back and Forth.....

I'm supposed to have my 3 months interview in July

(To see if I get took on permanently) 

The money I paid out for the cleaning supplies will be reimbursed in next month's wages.

If I need anything else in future I will have to email the company.

I found a cleaning cart on ebay....

(The other two cleaners have got one)

Only £50.....

I probably will be stuck with Mule until a wheel comes off...↓

Anyway got blog finished.

Still feeling cold...

Soup time!

The book came for my neighbour.

My youngest son will drop it and his magazine around later on...↓↓↓

Mission completed!

It was a bit windy for the second part of my Lollipop job.

The winter coat, winter hat and gloves had to be worn. Blowing my lollipop stick all over the place.

It keeps goes invisible my stick does, as car drivers just keep going under it!

Chatted to my friend when I finished.

Back home to get changed....

I kept repeating a great song all the way to work......

(5 times!)

All time classic..from the 70s..↓

I did let Kate have a go when I got in the car park.

Now to try the other vacuum cleaner...

It works!!!!

 Woo Hoo!

Blue sky feeling↑↑ 

Finished on time...

Back to more singing on the way home...

Now for pie!

Now for today's Judge Rinder.

Quick look into today's newspaper.

I was getting tired...

Off to enjoy my sleep tea in bed.

Out like a log I went Zzzzz
