Bargain Hunting!

 If it's good, they'll stop making it - Herbert Block

Welcome to my Thursday Fun💙

Looking a bit gloomy out there!

It's Heardle time 

Heardle 60s:

 My son's answers:

Time for some breakfast and brew!

I got dressed.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before he left for work.

I meanwhile had lots to keep me occupied!

Put the washing back out on the line.

I watered all the plants in the garden.

Then to move things about...

Now time to leave the house.

I dropped off younger son at his new job.

I carried onto Sainsburys.

Now to get some bits.

My shampoo I normal buy has gone down to £4.50, instead of £7.

I normally get it when it's on offer.

I got some more bits for the garden as they were in the sale.

Walked about the store a few times.

Now to pay for it all.

I waited for the woman in front to load up all things on the belt.

Never bothered to put a divider between her and my shopping. I stetched over and done it myself.

I overheard the conversation from the next till.

Mother to the till Operator:

"When are the kids going back to school again?"

The son replied to his mum:

"When are you going back to work mum?"

Silence.She smiled,put the final bag in her trolley and walked off with son in toe.

The Till Operator was talking to the two women in front of me, no problem.

Got to me, nothing.

My Nectar card wouldn't scan, he took it off me, scanned it, gave it back to me, I said "Thank you."

He then scanned everything, I put it in the bags.

Paid for the things and off I went.

Loaded up Sexy Beast and off home I go.

I put the coffee machine on.

Unloaded the shopping.

Now to add to the garden a bit more!

Butterflies added to the Pear tree.

Now for a much needed coffee!

After relaxing in the garden.

Time for a light lunch.

Now to write 3 blog posts.

Tea at 3 was needed.

Got the tea on the go once blog posts were done.

Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one

💋 

Tea is served.

Then kids went off to the Labour CLP meeting.

I looked into today's newspaper.

  We just relaxed in the garden.

The kids popped into Lidl for a bit of bargain hunting....

Hubby picked them up.

Younger son's receipt.

Total was 4p!

Back in for some sleep tea.

We watched last week's Hotel Inspector.

Now off to a warm bed with warm hands.

Friday Feeling is back tomorrow 🎈

It's my late dad's 81st Birthday as well 🎈

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Got up the normal time.

Time for a bit of Heardle!

Heardle 60s:

My son's answers:

Brew with Breakfast time.

Dressed.

I gave my hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before I left to get the newspaper. 

I gets the newspaper.

Waiting for the traffic lights to change to green.

As I was about to go,

A white van on my right hand side, pulled straight in front of me, I had to brake or he would have took me out!

I looked across at the White Van man who put his hand up at me as he carried on.

Too late to give him the finger!

Then the traffic lights turned to red!

Waited for a few minutes for it to change to green.

Nearly had a repeat performance from the car on my right, he let me go, I put my hand up, and off I went back home.

I need a strong coffee after that!

On goes the coffee machine.

Watered the plants,

Unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher.

Once the washing machine finished.

I put the clothes on the line.

My neighbour was out the front on his mobility scooter. 

I went out and gave him his magazine I got yesterday for him. 

He then went off to town on it.

My friend came for her Birthday present, chat, and cake!

The Nurse came for my next door neighbour.

Alas he was not back.

10 minutes later, a taxi turned up, the taxi driver got 2 bags of shopping, and my magazine out of the boot.

Then the mobility scooter was unfolded, and my neighbour came down the path.

Followed by the nurse.

I wished my friend a Happy Birthday.

I then carried on putting the washing on the line.

Then off out with my youngest son...

First stop was Lidl.

Then into Dunelm.

Got my bits I needed.

Back home.

Unpacked all my things I bought.

Before I start doing things with the stuff I bought.

Light lunch.

Then I replaced the pillow cases on our bed.

(Hubby will change the bed sheet on our bed later)

I took off everything of the sofa.

Got my old mate, Henry out for a quick play.

Hoovered in the living room, hall, and under the sofa!

Made the sofa with the new throwovers.

Tea at 3.

The older son went and got some Magic Bags.

Here is what he got:

Now to get on with the tea.

Hubby came home and a sloppy wet one 💋

Beetroot Burgers.
