When I Walk In The Room, I Just Have To ....

 If at first you don't succeed, cheat. - Red Buttons
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Warm hug with Brew.
Breakfast.
Thermal vest goes on.....
Dressed.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before I leave.
I had to park elsewhere as the hall was closed.
It was quite warm, so no need for gloves!
Turns on my lights.
Now let's get ready to roll...🍭
Cars and vans failing to stop!
Some have to do emergancy stops!
Some parents are still chancing it by crossing into moving traffic instead of using me!
At least I survived in one piece!
Nips into Co-op to get some bits....
Saves £6.05 on my shopping bill :)
Next onto Screwfix.
Henry the Hoover!
While in the queue, I here a great song playing, So I start singing along, the man looks around at me....
He must want to join in I thought!
I collects my order.
The £5 off my order helped!
Next to pick up my newspaper and my neighbour's magazine.
While I was waiting, a great song came on, and I started to sing-along...
The two men in front started to look around to see where the singing was coming from.
They looked at me, and I kept on singing along!
"Your happy!" I was told when I paid for my things.
"I am now after doing some singing!" I replied.
Just before I left, I joined in with Belinda Carlisle
Back home.
Coffee machine goes on.
Empties the tumble drier.
Loads up the dish washer and puts it on.
Sorts out the food in the fridge.
Recycling get put in the green bin.
(Our 3 recycling bins are being emptied tomorrow) 
Now for some coffee.
I though writing yesterday's blog post would only take an hour, it took longer!
Right up to lunch, and I still hadn't published it!
Light lunch.
Now for part two....
I was singing along with a great song on the way to work.
Such a Big Tune, it was repeated four times it was good...
The song?
At the end of this blog post...
It was warm enough to wear gloves!
Turned on my lights.
Got chatting to my two friends.
Just before I was due to start, I notice a Argos and Amazon van parking on the double yellow lines over the road where I was due to start.
I said goodbye to my friends.
Afternoon shift.
Still having problems with car drivers not stopping.
At least I finished in one piece.
Home time.
Time for a much needed brew!
I finished and published yesterday's blog post.
Now to get on with tonight's tea.
Opened a cupboard door, my oval dish fell out and broke into 3 bits!
It didn't help cutting open my finger while picking up one piece of it, blood everywhere!
Once it stopped, put a plaster on it, now to carry on with the tea.
It was ready before Hubby came home.
When he did come back from work, he had to warm his up in the microwave!
Four plates were empty!
Quick look in today's newspaper.

It's my late mum's 77th Birthday this Saturday.
I have ordered some balloons 🎈 for her birthday.
My good friend who passed away last May would have been 87 on Sunday.
I made him a Birthday Cake for his 78th Birthday.↓
I should a new CD arrive on Friday...↓
Plenty of singing along with this one!
We caught up with two episodes of Top of the Pops from 1991.
Oh dear, the fast forward button was used a lot.
Great number one in the second episode.
Vic Reeves and The Wonder Stuff.
Great cover version of the Tommy Roe number 1 hit from 1969↓↓↓

 Welcome to my Sunday love 💓
I had a hot shower before breakfast.

Going out to get in the mood for Christmas!
B3 was free!

We looked at the pets, and in Hobbycraft.
Time for a drink!
I had my normal order.
Hubby had a sausage and egg sandwich.
We left to look around further and still left empty handed!
Back home.
I carried on writing the 3 blog entries.
Hubby was putting up a curtain rail in the Dining Room.
We had a later lunch...
While we were listening to the radio, one of our favourite songs came on.
I started singing along, and some lyrics were missing!
"The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"
The song is at the end of this blog post. 
Then we had to go out and nip to Morrisons to pick up a Magic Bag.
Plus Hubby's dad had no shopping left in his house as his foot was still swollen up since last week.So hubby did some shopping for him as well.
Gets home to unpack the Magic Bag.
I went round to see my nextdoor neighbour to give him some Figs as he like figs.
We had a chat for half an hour.
When I got back, hubby had put up the curtain rail! \o/
I then went to work on making a sausage casserole.
Out came the heavy red pot with lid.
My amazon order arrived.
The driver was glad I have put instructions on Amazon now, where my house is. That helped.
Tools for my upcoming D.I.Y project.
To make the bed even warmer than it is,
The Teddy bed fitted sheet arrived!
Nice and cozy in there now!
Dished up the grub.
