Mistakes Are Meant To Be Made!

 Never advise anyone to go to war or to marry - Spanish Proverb
Welcome aboard my Wobby Work Wheel 🎡
Nice hug with brew!
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Gets kids up for school.
Gives everyone their wet sloppy 💋💋💋 before I leave.
The big big sunglasses have to come out again!
Nice picture of the tree before I turn on my lights.
Oh the fun of Mondays....
One van went under my raised lollypop stick and put his hand up to say sorry.
Some children were moaning about going to school, I commented it's Bank Holiday Monday next week, so no school for them and no work for me!
The sun was shining bright, but it was still cold.
Finished in one piece.
Back home for a quick coffee.
Then out for next job.
I asked the question to the Director of the cleaning company, why when I was offered a extra 30p a hour at the interview and then when I started, it stopped the same wage.
He said "He doesn't normally deal with this, but this one and only time he will."
I had instructions on what to do today.
I was gagging for a cup of coffee.
I wasn't offered one.
I in fact finished a lot earlier than normal.
I was told a email was sent concerning the 30p.
It was quite warm when I got home.
The email said "It was a mistake to offer an extra 30p an hour, we all make mistakes, and my hourly rate will stop the same!"
I should be having a vacuum tomorrow as well.
I did some of my own housework up until lunchtime.
I swapped the 60s CDs to 70s CDs.
Onwards to Lollypop job.
Summer coat came again!
One of the mothers I chat to has now got the cleaning job at the Primary School.
Before she left to go in, 
I said to her,"Don't forget to wear gloves!"
My good friend came for a chat afterwards.
He already has had his 2rd Covid Jab.
I should be having my next month. 
Once finished, off home to get changed for next job.
70's CD goes on, now for more singing along on the way to work!
Put all the cloths I washed over the weekend back on the shelf.
Now to load up the Mule! 
Once mopped, the yellow sign had to come out to warn people of slippy floors!
At least the sun is still shining...
Someone signed me out with the wrong time!
Cheek!
Soon crossed it out and put right time.
Back home in record home.
Stir Fry time.
Lovely patterns in the sky...
Even a night bright full moon!
Watched today's Judge Rinder.

When A Eyeroll Isn't Enough!

Friday. The golden child of the weekdays. The superhero of the workweek. The welcome wagon to the weekend. The famous F word we thank God for every week - Anon  
The Friday Feeling is back again \o/
After such a late night....
It was nice to have a little bit of lie-in..
We had cuddles in bed....
Then all the windows got opened up!
We got ready to leave...
Fresh air time..
 We went round to my dad's who is still unwell.
We changed his duvet covers on his bed.
I took my Henry round as his hoover is crap.
We had to wait for the plasterer to give us a quote on some water damage from one of the pipes in the bathroom.
 Nice cup of coffee.
I chatted with the Plasterer for over an hour....
We gets back home for coffee and nibble↓
 Playing army games in the garden↓
I went to my job.
One co-worker was moaning about there was nothing at the end of the titles of "The Avengers Endgame".
He watched it last night in 3D.
(So did I)
He got upset at the end.
(So did I)
He was pissed the cinema staff told him there was nothing at the end of the titles...
(I knew already) 
I finished mopping the floor, added the yellow sign saying:
One co-worker says:
"You should have rinsed out the mop head before mopping the floor".
I reply with:
&
"I had to get the tea stains off the floor!"
Then she just walked straight onto the wet floor....
I left.......the building...
I needed to get my Superhero trailer finished.......as Superhero Day is nearly here...
After 3 hours of trying to match the trailer to the brilliant soundtrack...
I finished it!
*Here it is for everyone to see...*
 After the Evening Meal was ate.
Another Superhero's film we just had to watch...
I checked the Birthdays.
