Can't Even Have It!

 Ducking for apples. Change one letter and it's the story of my life - Dorothy Parker
Welcome back to the Friday Feeling 🎈
Up early to do the Heardles.

My answers:
Breakfast with Brew.
I got dressed.
(Thermal vest included)
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before he left for work.
Dishwasher went on.
Now out for yak and coffee.
I got the newspaper on the way.
I had to choose which way to get to the Garden Centre, as both ways had traffic lights.
I turned left at the island and fun with those lights.
Gets to the Garden Centre.
Now to take some photos of my surroundings.
The staff was glad to  see me.
Coffee first. 
&
Toast
My friend arrived.
Other guest joined the conversation. 
I was told there is family of 4 robins that come for breakfast.
I had another coffee.
Then we left.
She is coming round next week for some Chocolate cake....
(As we can't have any as we have given up Chocolate and cake for Lent)
*So no Birthday cake for me on Tuesday.*
On the way back, I saw and waved to one of my friends who I have a rabbit to on weekday afternoons.
Speaks of friends, I saw the other friend who I rabbit to on a weekday afternoon, walking his dog. I stopped Sexy Beast, and had a nice long rabbit with him.  
He even me what he bought me for my Birthday!
Wished him a good weekend and see him on Monday afternoon!
Back home I went.
Liquid lunch time.
Now to write yesterday's blog post.
I had Tea at 3. 
The tea got put in the oven for later.
I had emails concerning the saga involved my house......
They have arranged a meeting for us to discuss the options.....
(there won't be Morecambe and Wise coming either like last time either!)
Probably one option...
When am I shipping out.....?
Hubby came back and had a sloppy wet one 💋
Tea is served.
Now to look into today's newspaper:
Time to catch up with The Apprentice.
We have brought back 50% of the pictures we put up on the walls of my late father-in- law's house...
Tomorrow is going to jig  the pictures I have already, to put the others up.
If I had to move out, it's going to cost the Council a lot in storage costs...
I know where two storage units are, that hopefully will be avaliable by March 31st....↓↓↓
Sleep Tea Time.
Now to enjoy the Friday Feeling in bed 🎈

When I Walk In The Room, I Just Have To ....

 If at first you don't succeed, cheat. - Red Buttons
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Warm hug with Brew.
Breakfast.
Thermal vest goes on.....
Dressed.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before I leave.
I had to park elsewhere as the hall was closed.
It was quite warm, so no need for gloves!
Turns on my lights.
Now let's get ready to roll...🍭
Cars and vans failing to stop!
Some have to do emergancy stops!
Some parents are still chancing it by crossing into moving traffic instead of using me!
At least I survived in one piece!
Nips into Co-op to get some bits....
Saves £6.05 on my shopping bill :)
Next onto Screwfix.
Henry the Hoover!
While in the queue, I here a great song playing, So I start singing along, the man looks around at me....
He must want to join in I thought!
I collects my order.
The £5 off my order helped!
Next to pick up my newspaper and my neighbour's magazine.
While I was waiting, a great song came on, and I started to sing-along...
The two men in front started to look around to see where the singing was coming from.
They looked at me, and I kept on singing along!
"Your happy!" I was told when I paid for my things.
"I am now after doing some singing!" I replied.
Just before I left, I joined in with Belinda Carlisle
Back home.
Coffee machine goes on.
Empties the tumble drier.
Loads up the dish washer and puts it on.
Sorts out the food in the fridge.
Recycling get put in the green bin.
(Our 3 recycling bins are being emptied tomorrow) 
Now for some coffee.
I though writing yesterday's blog post would only take an hour, it took longer!
Right up to lunch, and I still hadn't published it!
Light lunch.
Now for part two....
I was singing along with a great song on the way to work.
Such a Big Tune, it was repeated four times it was good...
The song?
At the end of this blog post...
It was warm enough to wear gloves!
Turned on my lights.
Got chatting to my two friends.
Just before I was due to start, I notice a Argos and Amazon van parking on the double yellow lines over the road where I was due to start.
I said goodbye to my friends.
Afternoon shift.
Still having problems with car drivers not stopping.
At least I finished in one piece.
Home time.
Time for a much needed brew!
I finished and published yesterday's blog post.
Now to get on with tonight's tea.
Opened a cupboard door, my oval dish fell out and broke into 3 bits!
It didn't help cutting open my finger while picking up one piece of it, blood everywhere!
Once it stopped, put a plaster on it, now to carry on with the tea.
It was ready before Hubby came home.
When he did come back from work, he had to warm his up in the microwave!
Four plates were empty!
Quick look in today's newspaper.
