Welcome to my Monday 🎈
(No Wobbly Work Wheel this week 🎡)
Nice warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
I gives hubby a sloppy wet 😘 before he goes to work.
Now to make full use of nice comfy bed 🛏
I am going to have a rare lie-in.
Felt better after that!
Gets up, gets dressed.
Puts on the coffee machine.
Loads up and puts on the dish washer.
On goes the new washing machine.
Empties all the bins in the house.
Now for coffee...
One son gets the newspaper for me.
My new curtains arrive for the Dining room.
One son helps me put them up.
Tumble Drier goes on.
Nice healthy lunch.
Now for the follow up for the parcel which was supposed to be delivered to me on 14th October but was delivered elsewhere.
Fed-Ex has picked up the parcel and delivered to the correct address!
I was told.
"Not here, I replied back"
This Business is trying not to give me refund, not answered my emails and just hoping I will go away, however they don't know me well enough!
I need to chill.
What better way to do some sewing with a brew.
Tea at 3 time.
The first 3 draught excluders done.
Then the remaining three done \o/
Hopefully our house won't be so draughty now!
Hubby was visiting his dad with all the shopping he got yesterday and playing snooker afterwards.
While our kids had their tea, a nice tune came on the music channel we were watching.
Then I flicked it over and started singing along with Def...
The room cleared!
That's nice!
I got on with my tea.
Then I caught up with Kenny Everett's series 3.
Then I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Hubby won his snooker singles match but lost in the doubles.
His team still won 3-2.
Published my blog post.
Quick read of today's newspaper.

Now to snuggle down into that warm bed with hubby 😘

Back on to catching up with the blog.
The weekend fun was posted.
Out comes the sewing machine.
I updated all my facemasks to include the pleats at the front.
I had a box come for me↓
It contained the blue suit I won off Ebay last week for my son to wear in Sixth Form from September.
His black jumper (To wear in the winter in Sixth Form) also arrived.
I also have some black trousers coming to go with the two suit jackets that arrived last week.
Tracksuit bottoms, t-shirts, for his boxing will hopefully come by Saturday...
The much needed belts to keep his school trousers up, will hopefully come by the start of September!
Next week it's going to make sure they have everything for school, including stationary.
Check list being wrote as I write this blog!
Even better, I got more funky fabric coming to make yet more facemasks!!!!
