Sing,Repeat, Sing Again!

You have no idea how much it costs to look this cheap - 
Dolly Parton
Welcome to July!😎
Once the alarm was turned, I fell back to sleep...
Looked at my watch it was 6.50!!!!
Got up, washed and changed.
Woke up kids.
Breakfast with a slurp of brew.
Gave out my sloppy wet 💋💋💋 to everyone.
Now out of the house I go.
Wearing some fancy trousers...
Time to wear the summer coat!
Tree pic.
Now for the fun to start!
The Cheeky Window Cleaner shouted through his window to me:
"You still left your pyjamas on!"
Cheek!
Didn't see the Lambo...
Instead  a nice white McLaren sports car went past me.
A few cars had to test their brakes!
Finished in one piece.
Back home.
Last day for the Bunting to be up in the garden!
Much needed coffee.
Younger son wasn't up,
So we didn't go to Bidford car boot this week.
Instead I did some shopping on-line on the Dunelm website....
"Sale Time!"
My new trainers had arrived. 
However, looking at the size of the box.
(Being on the small size)
It turns out they are a size 10!
(I am size 12!)
Wrapped the packet back up, and going to send it back later.
Now to get tea made for later...
Rolled out the pastry.
A bit of blind bake time...
Fried up some peppers, mushrooms, garlic and spinach in a pan.
Once done, I checked the jar of Pesto.
(Gone off!)
I used a carton of  Tomato Passata instead.
Added everything, and put it in the oven for later.
Watered the plants outside.
I had a bit of missmatch for lunch.
Run out of salad, just had bits of the fridge.
I left the house a bit early to post the parcel.
 I put on the 50's CD on I bought at the weekend.
Kept playing one song over and over again,
As it is that feel good feeling!
The song is:
Posted the trainers back,
First Class Recorded Delivery.
Now down to do my afternoon shift of Lollipop.
The sun was trying to break out of the clouds.
Summer coat went on.
Now for bedlam to start.
There were two coachers parked further up the road, which caused a backlog of car trying to get pass them. A lorry further down the road, had car drivers backing up the otherside of the road.
Cars everywhere!
Banging of gums as well, especially when I had to stop the car drivers.
One man went past and shouted to me:
"You didn't stop me!"
"I will next time!" I laughed.
Parents were still trying to cross behind the coaches to get over the road in front of moving traffic!
At least I finished in one piece.
I was going to get a drink from the near-by mini-mart.
As I was picking up by Dunelm order, I might as well nip into Lidl and get a drink.
Picked up my order from Dunelm.
Picked a salad and a drink from Lidl next.
Back home to see the Bunting had been took down!
Time to unpack my bargains from Dunelm.
At least the house is going to smell nice :)
I caught up on 3 days newspapers.
Gave hubby a sloppy wet 💋 when he came home.
Time to slice up the tart!
So yum!
Nice long look into today's newspaper.
Guy Mitchell (born Albert George Cernik ) was an American pop singer and actor, successful in his homeland, the UK, and Australia. He sold 44 million records, including six million-selling singles.He died on this day in 1999 aged 72.
Last teabag of the Sleep Tea.... 
Hoping I will have more delivered this weekend.
The Friday Feeling 🎈 is back tomorrow!

Points Don't Mean Prizes!

I'm not a snob. Ask anybody. Well, anybody who matters - 
Simon LeBon.
Welcome to my Saturday 💪
Hug with brew.
We listened to the last hour of 
"Sounds of the 60s".
Breakfast.
Both kids were up...
Now out of the house.
Drops off one son at his workplace.
Off to Lidl.
There was a nice t.v for sale in Lidl.
It wouldn't fit on our tv stand even if we wanted it!
I did a bit of shopping to get the £10 voucher for next week.
Now to park in the Asda car park.
Off to look in the Charity Shops.
The Town Crier was giving a good shout out!
Now to hit the shops.
I got some great bargains...
I popped into Costa Coffee for a drink.
I don't mind waiting.
The 3 members of staff was rushed off their feet.
 The woman in front of me, her bill came to £5.90, she handed over a piece of paper and then the total went to £0.
Then she wanted points added onto her Costa Coffee account. The staff tried and couldn't do it.
She wasn't happy about it! 
(Karen alert!)
I got my coffees and left the shop.
I got some 50s CDs for £1.
Found a older version of my Kenny in one Charity Shop↓
Then we heard Bagpipes...
Then we saw
Sajid Javid, the MP for Bromsgrove.
This is what was going on in the High Street.
I saw a nice hat in the shop window.
I went in, bought the multi-coloured hat 
&
Blue one.
Dropped off the bargains in the car.
Quick look in Asda...
There were some nice Ghomes on the way out.
On the way home, we got another coffee with doughnuts....
Back home to unpack everything...
Time to have a doughnut!
Hubby went to pick up son from his workplace.
The Daily Star had a funny front page.
(Free facemask)
I added more things to tree..↓
I wrote two blog posts.
Now for a nice tea....
Then we watched Oceans 13.
The Health Minister has now resigned over the scandal...
Sajid Javid is now the Health Minister.
Sleep Tea time.
Now it's time to make the most of Saturday Night in a warm bed with warm hands!

Not Big Enough For The Hole!

Teamwork: a chance to blame someone else - Ambrose Bierce
Welcome to my relaxing Sunday 👀
Nice big hug and sloppy 💋 to start Sunday.
Breakfast.
All the males of the household, are going for a much needed haircut.

While they went to the barbers.
I enjoyed a much needed coffee.
A Labour leaflet was dropped through my letterbox.
Straight in the recycle bin after I was stitched up over the Councillor job!
Hubby came back with a little bit of hair....
Now to get out of the house in Sexy Beast.
I collected my mops and buckets from Dunelm.
I got more bits from Lidl. 
Off to the clothes bank at Sainsburys.
The bag of clothes that my younger son has sorted out was just too big for the hole....
The bag has to be broken into and added to the hole in small sizes.
Once done.
Now to see mum and dad.
Someone had died 3 years short of her 50th Birthday :(
I said hello to Bill
I said hello to my parents and telling what has been happening about their house. Not to haunt me but my other brothers!
As it was so nice outside.
We had our lunch in the front garden.
My amazon order arrived with things I need tomorrow.
Back out to get our monthly meat order.
