Go On Do It!!!!!

A dress has no meaning unless it make a man want to take it off - Francoise Sagan
Welcome to my Saturday fun of bargains 🎲
We did the Heardles before breakfast.
Heardle 60s:
My son's answers:
Breakfast time.
Now out of the house....
Drops off son at work.
Now onwards to Droitwich we go.
So much traffic before we actually got there!
We parked in the Waitrose car park....
So we can have a nice walk up to the Droitwich Lions event.
Now to look around the Droitwich Lions's event.
I bought a great big hamper
(To put all my fabric in)
Lots more as well.
Hubby had to go and fetch the car to put it all in.
Once we loaded his car up with it.
He went back to park it back in Waitrose car park.
Then I waited for him to join me.
First we needed a drink!
I found all the main characters of the film, "The Secret Life of Pets" in teddy form.
Two didn't have a price on, and the woman made up the prices.
I went back into another charity shop and got the film on DVD for 50p!
Still went looking for more bargains.
Nice single :)
Nipped into Waitrose for some bits.
This was in the reduced items bin↓
There was a nice car in the car park↓
Back home to unpack all the bargains.
Another Minion to add to my collection!
Light lunch time.
Then hubby and younger son went out to do the week's shopping.
I in the meantime had to move about everything, so the big wicker basket could be put in and all my fabric put in.
Got two wicker baskets to take over to my late father-in-law's house tomorrow,to put where the Fridge and Freezer was.
Then I start to catch up on my blog.
Hubby comes back with the food.
Then we drop off son.
I have to go to 3 shops in one hour to pick up bits to take to my late Father-in-law's house tomorrow.
First stop was Dunelm.
Only had to pick up one item...
3 people in front of me, two people on the tills.
I thought I was bad when I go in there, one person's bill was £53.
I finally pick up my one item, comes out of the store. I walk over the crossing to the car park, when this blue car appears, and just drives at me on the crossing, I get over the otherside when he stops the car and shouts out of the window:
"Are you trying to get run over?"
"I was on the crossing,it was my right of way,"I replied.
I must have took him by surprise
(Not used to a woman answering him back)
"That's not a crossing!" He shouted at me.
"If you want to run me over, reverse and finish the job!" I shouted back at him.
He then parked his car opposite where my hubby was parked. I got in the passenger seat and looked in the rear view mirror.
He got out and followed wife into Dunelm.
I thought he wanted another word in my ear.
He is probably not used to trying to get hit by traffic twice a day like me in my job, 34 wks of the year!
Next stop was Tool Station and Screw Fix.
Finally got home!
Unpacked my stuff.
Hubby put the tea on, as I have blog posts to finish.
We even got to hear the whole of "Sounds of the 60s.
UK top 3 of 1965 
3:
The Fortunes - You Got Troubles
2:
The Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man
1:
The Beatles - Help
Quick look into today's newspaper:
US No.1 on this day in 2016:
Sia featuring Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills 
Sleep Tea time.
Bed time, as we are well busy tomorrow!

Pressing The Button!

 I started  out with nothing and I've still got most of it left - Groucho Marx
Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
Nice warm hug to start the day!
Brew with breakfast.
Dressed.
Gets the kids up for school.
I give out all sloppy wet 💋💋💋 to everyone.
It's looking quite nice out for a change!
Even the big big sunglasses came out!
Time for the summer coat to go on!
While I was waiting to turn my lights on, it started to spit with rain...
Tree Pic.
Now for the fun to start....
There was a big hole further down the road, which was causing traffic problems...
Hopefully the hole will be filled in later on!
Nearly all the car drivers stopped,
Which amazed me for a Monday!
No sign of the lambo today :(
Finished in one piece!
I got the newspaper on the way home.
Managed to park outside the shop without any problems for a change!
Back home.
Much needed coffee!
Kenny came out for a quick play.
Once the Banana Bread went into the oven.
I got to work with a Butternut Squash.
I cut it in half. 
Fried some mushrooms, garlic and peppers.
Added to the butternut squash and put it in the oven for later.
Next was to write yesterday's blog post.
After the fun I had of not be able to clean the toilets at work on Friday.
The emails battle started.
"I use to much toilet cleaner!"
I was told....
"Funny I have to clean 26 toilets everynight, so I have to have a night off from cleaning them?"I replied.
He even asked if I wanted to do some overtime next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No sign of my tax they took off me last month, go and tell the tax office, I was told, I replied to that, I already have, and you shouldn't have put me on the BR code.
He has move my probation meeting forward to next month instead of July.
I wanted the Monday not the Tuesday, as I can give him the keys back and be home before my hubby gets home....
I must have pushed his button as he chose not to answer any more emails after I sent that.
Light lunch time.
Now onto the afternoon shift.
It has stopped raining when I got into Sexy Beast.
On the way, a black Audi was doing 25 m.p.h in a 40 limit.As the next available safe time I overtook it, there was a convoy forming when I looked back in the distance.
Those dark clouds are worrying↑
I still put on summer coat...
The rain kept off \o/
Some of the parents said 2 of the 3 schools are closed on Friday for a TE day.
As the High School is open, I still have to work....
Finished in one piece!
Back home.
Coffee and crumpets are needed↑
 
I see the Banana bread is being liked↓
Off I go with my rain mac and a handful of 60s Cds...
While I was on the way, I was nearly stuck for 20 minutes behind a car doing 20 m.p.h in a 50 limit. At the right moment and Safest, I overtook it. The convoy behind it was well long in the distance.
Back to the singing along..
I load up the skip with both mop buckets.
Hoping my vacuum cleaner will be sorted out tomorrow....
Finished on time...
Now back onto the singing along...
Back home.
Now for tea.
Hubby is visiting his dad.
He will have his half tomorrow for lunch.
Time to chill with a look in today's newspaper.
Sleep Tea followed...
I kept the bed warm for when hubby came back....
I tried to keep awake......Zzzzzz


 





 

 
 


Sunday 7 February 2021

Counting To Ten!

I'm not a snob.Ask anyone. Well,anybody who matters. 
- Simon LeBon
Welcome to my Sunday 👾
Warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Had a lie-in listening to the radio in bed.
After a while, it's time to get up!
I need a few items for tonight's meal.
I'm giving Asda a miss and trying Morrisons.
Taking Sexy Beast out for a ride.
We only needed 8 items.
It was so packed with people, that each till that was open, that was a queue of 10+ people down in each aisle. We were in the queue for the self service. People were thinking it was a  good idea to jump in front of us who were queueing! 
By the time we got to the front of the queue, I had enough of the queue jumpers....
"The queue for this till is at the back of that long queue:"I said.
Pointing to the long queue behind me.
Three people took the hint.
As we unloaded our shopping onto the belt, a couple with their grown up daughters jumped ahead of the queue and unloaded their shopping on the next self service till. The man with the earphones tried to get into the act, until I told him where the actually queue was!
I was so glad to get out of there.
This was worst than shopping at Christmas!
Surely there are limits on how many customers you can have in a store!
I got a takeaway coffee and the woman serving me, told me:
"People were queueing up since 9.30am to get in here!"
Get's back to Sexy Beast, to enjoy the lovely coffee!
Finally back home!
Light lunch without soup today!
Now to start on the dessert for tonight.
I tried not to repeat what I did last week with the lemons....
Once done, let it set in the fridge.
Just in time for Tea at 3. 
I wrote yesterday's blog post 
&
Added some great tunes for my Jukebox on Twitter too.
Tea was served up.
I went to serve up the dessert,
When trying to take off the cling film...
It was crash!
Good job I had spares!
Lemon Posset!
Quick read of today's newspaper.
