Welcome to aboard the Wobbly Wheel of Life 🎡

Hug with brew to start Monday with.

Breakfast.

I got the kids up ready for school.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he went to work.

The kids also had wet 💋💋 before they left for school.

I went outside to breath in some fresh air before I start the housework.

Loaded the dishwasher up.

Put the tumble drier on.

Now for coffee...

The my playlist was turned on....

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Even had time to put some songs on my jukebox on Twitter.

Heard nothing from where I handed in my resignation letter on Sunday.

Cracking of Champagne corks no doubt!

Lunchtime.

I put the breadmaker on in the morning,

As the loaf I made last week was getting really hard....I'm sure the birds won't mind tomorrow.

Nice big loaf made!

I was getting some ideas from my craft magazines that arrived last week.

Tea at 3.

I got my sewing box out and started to make a dog keyring. I couldn't add the stuffing to do, as I had sowed everything on, the stuffing wouldn't fit in!

Nevermind.....

At least it won't bite or bark!

Hubby came back and said "Wow" to it when I showed him.

I gave him a sloppy 💋

He gave me today's newspaper in return.
