Back On The Wobbly Work Wheel At Last!

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it - J. P Morgan
Woo Hoo, Back on the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Up early to do the Heardle.
Heardle 60s:
My answers:
Time for Breakfast and Brew.
The thermal vest goes on.
Now to get out of the house...
I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I leave.
I had to go a different way as the normal way to work, has two sets of traffic lights and it will take a lot longer to get to work.
Gets my winter coat on, two winter hats and winter gloves on.
Gets the newspaper.
Collects my big stick.
Now to turn on my lights.
Turns on my lights.
Now let's go to work 🍭
It was nice for everyone to say "Welcome Back"
I was glad to be back.
The kitchen wall was trying to move next door away from me!
I gave out one BOING for someone who went under my raised stick.
I had to stop a certain blue Mini.
(She might have learnt her lesson from last Monday!)
Finished in one piece.
I got home and had a text message saying my Dunelm order was ready to collect.
Off to collect my order.
Collects my order and got other bits as well.
Back home.
Puts the coffee machine.
Unloads all my lovely things.
Coffee time.
I puts up the new net curtain in the bathroom.
Plus the new lamp shade in the Living room.
 Made some new soup for lunch.
Liquid lunch time.
Now out to do the afternoon shift.
I had to go a different way to work due to traffic lights.
There was no room in the normal car park I use.
Parked in the one around the corner.
On goes my winter coat, two hats and winter gloves.
Just went to put on my lights and got chatting to a friend who I haven't seen since the Summer.
My other friend joined us, I collected my big stick. Said goodbye to one friend. My other friend went with to turn on my lights. 
We go and wait in the square for our other friend to arrive.
She arrived and we got to do quite bit of rabbit!
The low lying sun is going to be a problem.
I said goodbye to my friends.
Now to get with it.
Oh dear, I gave out four BOINGs on cars failing to stop. 
At least I survived on my first day back!
Back home I go.
In need of a brew.
Quick look into today's newspaper.

Never Have Enough!

The worst words in the English language are, "We have to talk."
Either that or, "Whose bra is this?" - Jerry Seinfeld
 Welcome to my amazing Thursday 😍
We were up early to do the Heardles.
Heardle 60s:
My answers:
Now for Breakfast and Brew.
Then on goes the thermal vest.
UPS dropped off my nice order...
Going to smell nice wearing this 😊
Now out to pick up my water filter I had delivered at a drop point.
Tried to park in Dunelm.
No chance!
Rammed solid.
Parked where my parcel was delivered.
The Sales Assistant came over to admire my coat.
I did tell it the buttons weren't included.
"Didn't it show it in the pictures of the coat before you bought it?" She said.
"I didn't really notice no buttons, to be honest," I replied.
Then she said,"You could make a belt to go with it!"
I said "Thank you for that great idea, I will!"
Put my parcel in the boot and carried onto Dunelm. Everyone was circling around the car park for a space.
Got two of them, but I call them veggie racks!
We had a quick coffee while we were there.
The fake faux pom poms were knocked down to £1 for large ones. All of them went in my basket!
This was my view from the coffee shop↓
I went to pay for my order.
The Sales Assistant commented on all my pom poms..
"I see you have bought them all!"
I replied, "I need them to make things with!".
She collected my on-line order and found I had bought some more Pom Poms!
Walked back to Sexy Beast.
Back home we went.
Time for a light lunch...
Hubby is bringing some things back tomorrow from his late dad's house in a hired van.
So we spent all afternoon sorting out the house when the things are going......
Phew!
Then I got on with the tea....
Tea is served!
Yum.
Quick look into the newspaper.

There was a old man in a blue car on the opposite side of the road, had his window down, and looking at me.
He said to me, "I used to be a lollypop man in Ireland...."
