More Of It To Clear......

When a divorced man marries a divorced woman, four get into bed - The Talmud
Welcome to my Sunday 💓
We had a bit of a lie-in...
Then it was nice hug to start Sunday with.
Brew with breakfast.
Dressed.
Then it was load up the car with stuff to go down the tip.
Full car, hubby went with one of our sons.
I meanwhile put the coffee machine on.
And sorted through more boxes from the loft.
When they came back,
It was coffee time!
Now back to sorting through boxes.
Found some Woolworth's vouchers...
Once the car was loaded up,
Off to the Storage Unit , hubby and son went to.
When they came back,
It was lunchtime.
Then it was time to pick up 2 magic bags from two different branches of Morrisons.
While waiting to pick one up from the Redditch Branch. One woman was arguing over her lottery scratch card with the cashier....
A good five minutes, she still left with £5 winnings, but she is coming back later to argue that it should be doubled.....
I finally got my lucky bag!
Then we drove to the Kidderminster branch of Morrisons.
We had to wait 5 minutes for it.
Once we had it, we sorted a bag out for hubby's dad to have.
As well as 2 big slices of Where's Wally's cake for him as well.
Then we drove home to load up the remaining things to go down the tip.
I tidied up the back garden while they went there.
The Pork Joint went into the oven.
Used up the vegetables I had in my Magic Bag today.
A cat left us a present.
In the past week, he got left 2 mice and now 2 rats.
Once all the washing was dried in the tumble drier.
Time to dish up the tea.
Used up the mint sauce, as we had no Crab Apple Jelly left.
Now to go and collect two more Magic Bags.
One from M&S which was half a bag.
&
From Waitrose,which was half a bag as well.
While reading the Waitrose newspaper.
Paul Jones was in there↓
He likes drinking lots of Green Tea!
I go and have a nice refreshing shower.
Then it's onto the Sleep Tea.
