At Least The Bird Is Singing This Time!

Life is a mirror.If you frown at it,it frowns back; if you smile it returns the greeting - William Makepeace Thackeray
Woo hoo 
It's back 🎈
Lots to get for the return back to school in 2 weeks time!
(Where has the time gone???)  
I had a lovely hug and cup of tea in bed↓
  Nice t-shirt to put on..↓
 With Spiderman Earrings.
Finally got the kids up!
Now to get out for a ride in Sexy Beast.
 
 It's getting warm↗↗↗
Time to get some school uniform↓

 I recognised one of the mothers in there, as a old school friend. Who got in touch in 2013, and asked how much would I charge to make an Aston Villa Birthday cake for her son.
(Like I made my son for his 8th Birthday)
 I said "£30."
She said her son didn't want a cake.
Found out later, her Aunt had done him a swimming cake for nothing.
Oh well.....
Back to buying the new uniform.
2 bits of uniform = £44
Now off to town to get more...
View from Car Park 4
 
 Visits the Uniform Bank,
Gets a large pe top and shorts for one of my sons.
We visit the food man on the market.
He is playing some good tunes...
 He then put another song,
Which my youngest remarked...
"Is this you know who?"
"It is!"
While my kids printed off some homework.
I caught up on the newspaper
 We got a new pair of size 12's school shoes.
They didn't have another pair for the other son...
The size 13 pe trainers wasn't very comfortable either.
I need a coffee now...↓
 Quick read and drink of coffee,
Before we leave↓
 It's getting warm now↗↗↗
 Early lunch↓
It was too late to do any painting!
Unloaded the dishwasher 
&
Loaded it back up.
I got some size 12 new shoes off Ebay.
I put a offer in for some size 13 pe trainers.
The man wants the auction to end and declined my two offers...
*I won another pair instead.*
(I will see the trainers stop at the price he put the trainers on, when the auction finishes)
The covers for two light switches came.
Now off to a happy place of work.
I didn't realise it was that hot when I got back home and was all nice and sweaty!
 Sucky time!
 Hubby came back from work early.
Nice hug and big 💋 for him.
While he went to do my dad's shopping.
The bird went in.....
Law and Order went on...
 Moved onto season 16 now
The bird started singing...
(Makes a change from me!) 
 Now off to do the final job of the week,
With some good music↓
 It was nice to take off my shoes...
I enjoyed one more episode of:
with some sleep tea...
Then off to bed for some snuggles and more....💋💋💋💋

Name That Singer!

A well-composed book is a magic carpet on which we are wafted to a world that we cannot enter in any other way - Caroline Gordon
Welcome back to the Friday Feeling🎈
 It was nice to start the day with a hug and a cup of tea!
I gave hubby a big sloppy 💋 before he left the house..
We had lots to do today.
While kids were getting up and having breakfast.
I had coffee and nibble.
 The kids sorted out some outgrown uniform to give into the uniform bank which is on tomorrow.
Now for some fresh air.
 
 Enjoying listening to the CD's again!
We parked in the college car park
 Off to drop off the bag of uniform.
It's already getting of loads of uniform in.
 
 We visited the food stall on the market.
Back to mum's singing party...
Even my youngest son knew the other song being played..
Then the stall holder said to me,
"Who is singing this?"
 After singing along for 7 seconds, I replied.
"Cat Stevens!"
"Correct, you know your music!" He said.
*My kids were proud of me!*
Off to have an coffee to get over my excitement!
Back home in the rain.
 My new bedroom sign has arrived!
 Early lunch↓
 I caught up with some:
Then off to my happy place of work
 I came back to drop off our kids to help sort the uniform out ready for the uniform bank tomorrow.
While I put the evening meal in the oven.
I enjoyed a taste of the Friday Feeling 🎈
 Once everyone came back.
Evening Meal was served and ate up.
I had to go and do my final job of the day...
With some good music!
Once I got back,
I kicked off the shoes.
Caught up with the news.
Then for snuggles in a warm bed with hubby!
