Can't Find Me Again!

He may have hair upon his chest but sister, so has Lassie .....
- Cole Porter, I Hate Men
 Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Enjoyed a brew with hug!
Breakfast.
Dressed.
I got the kids up ready for school.
Gave hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹ before he left for work.
Both kids had πŸ’‹πŸ’‹ before they left for school.
Loaded up dishwasher.
I was hoping my yellow paint might arrive between 9.30 -11.30am so I can carry on painting the skirting up the stairs.
Nice cup of coffee to start the morning off with!
Now to write yesterday's blog!
Email from the delivery company...
Couldn't find my house,
Paint gone back to depot,
Try again tomorrow!
GREAT!
Let's hope they find me tomorrow!
I also have the Plumber coming tomorrow to service the boiler, let's hope he turns up this time....
I wrote and published yesterday's blog.
No painting to be done....
Tidy up instead.
First declutted some of the Dining Room.
A lot was from my late dad's house.
Including the infamous Chef cookie jar I bought my late parents.
Moved it to a safer place 
(I hope!)
I found a Birthday present and card that I got for a ex-friend over four years ago.
While I was on my previous lollypop job, I had the card and present in my lollypop coat pocket.Because it was raining at the time, she didn't come out of the car to fetch it! I had got home later and left it on the table. She dropped off my son after school, I texted her to wait for my son to get her present. She didn't wait but drove off!
Card went in the recycle bin.
I'm sure I can reuse the presents again in the near future.
I got more recycling done, all the way up to lunch.
Back to doing some tidying up.
I found some old ceramic flour and bread jars and they went into the kitchen window.
Like  those below↓
I had a nice long chat with my Lollypop boss, 
It was nice to have a chat!
Tea at 3. 
I told one of my sons that if he don't get his bedroom tidied, I will be in there tomorrow....
He thinks I'm joking!!!!
The white vinegar I put a order in, failed to arrive today.
Hoping it will turn up tomorrow.
Now to start on tea for tonight.
The pork meatballs I got from Waitrose last week were crap!
Ended up with more mince in the pan afterwards!
Chopped up some mushrooms, onions, garlic and some peppers to it all.
Chopped tomatos went over it.
Lingine went in the saucepan.
Gave hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹ when he came home.
Tea was served up.
We watched today's Judge Rinder.
Quick read of today's newspaper.

I rewatched last week's Motorway Cops
(As I missed the first half) 
The BMW driver featured in this one doing over 150 mph on the motorway!
New series of Traffic Cops to watch as well.
We caught up with the newspaper review.
Sleep tea time.
Let's hope people find my house tomorrow
or
I will have to tie those red lacey knickers to the lamp post outside!

Disco Time!

There are two types of people; those who walk into a room and say, "Well, here I am," and those who walk into a room and say, "Ah, there you are!". - Frederick Collins
Welcome to my SundayπŸ’‹
After the late night we had.
We had a bit of lie-in.
Nice brew in bed with a warm hug.
Breakfast.
We just lay in bed listening to the radio.
Loud knock on the front door.
It was my next door neighbour.
He was locked out.
Good job his son gave me a spare key!
Now to get dressed!
First a warm coffee to wake the brain.
Then out for a little ride.
We got the newspaper.
Then to test hubby's air pressure of his tyres.
The electrics were playing up on his car....
Spooky time πŸ‘» 
Gets back home.
I use up some shortcrust pastry and a jar of mincemeat. 
Blind baked the pastry.
Let it cool down.
Added the filling and back in the oven it goes.
Late lunchtime.
The tart had been baked.
I gone on with cooking tonight's tea before putting it in the oven for later.
Belated Tea at 3.
I ordered some things I need for the upcoming Valentine's Day πŸ’—
Hopefully they will arrive before Feb 14th!
Tea is ready.
Pig in Blankets with Root mash.
We were still full up to eat the tart I made earlier, we are eating our little bit tomorrow.
One son was not....
We carried on watching Season Two of Narcos up to episode 9.
With some Sleep Tea.
