If you can afford it, then there is no pleasure in buying it 
- Wallis Simpson
Welcome along to my Monday 🚦
Nice hug
The milk had gone off, so no cup of tea this morning...
Orange juice this morning instead.
Breakfast.
I gave hubby a nice sloppy wet πŸ’‹before he went to work.
I went back to bed for a bit..
(Stupid Mistake!)
I woke up late felt like πŸ’©
Dressed.
Now out to get some milk,newspaper and bargains.
 While get the £1 coin out for the newspaper, the zip got jammed!
(It's going to be one of days is it!)
I parked behind a car outside the Newsagent Shop. The car driver shot me a look when she got back to car. I watched her from inside the shop, to make sure she didn't hit my car as she reversed her car.
(I left her loads of room!)
Further on, the traffic lights stopped me for no reason, as there were no other cars at the three way lights!
(Going to be one of those days!)
I gets down to Studley.
Now to use my offers on the Co-op card!
50p off Starbucks drin
50p off my shopping!
Got more milk!
Now to have a quick look in the Charity Shop.
Loads of bargain buys on the DVDS!
Gets back home.
The coffee machine was put on .
Unpacking my bargains...
Now for coffee...
Tumble drier went on
(As I don't trust the weather!)
I had a week's newspapers to catch up with.
So I caught up todate with everything.
The 3 green recycle bins are being emptied this Thursday... 
Now for lunch.
Done more tidying up to Tea at 3.
Then I went out to get a Lucky Bag from Morrisons.
(It's a good job I only got one, as the other two bags were the same as mine!)
I did my Stir Fry, but I had a little meat with it.
Mmmm  what to watch?
Hubby came back from visiting his dads.
He had a sloppy wet πŸ’‹
We carried on watching Netflix.
I quickly looked in today's newspaper before I pressed start.
Aretha Franklin  was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. Referred to as the "Queen of Soul", she is regarded as the most influential female vocalist of the 1960s. Franklin began her career as a child, singing gospel at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan, where her father C. L. Franklin was a minister.
At the age of 18, she embarked on a secular-music career as a recording artist for Columbia Records. While her career did not immediately flourish, she found acclaim and commercial success after signing with Atlantic Records in 1966. Hit songs such as "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)", "Respect", "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", "Chain of Fools", "Think" and "I Say a Little Prayer" propelled her past her musical peers. 
She died on this day in 2018 aged 76. 
Sleep Tea Time.
My kids are going to have their first Covid jab tomorrow....
Hopefully there won't be screams!

Shining On The Halo

Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge
 - Audre Lorde
Welcome to my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎑
 I gave a nice big stretch!
Now for cuddles and a cup of tea↓
 I gave everyone their sloppy πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹
(I didn't hear anything from my younger brother, so my dad must still be here!)
 Time to leave the house↓
 
 It's getting warmer↗↗↗
Today's tree picture↓
  The sun was shining its rays on me, while I was stood still waiting to cross people over.
One man, commented, "It looks like it's charging up your halo!" 
I had a few failing to stop like normal!
At least I finished in one piece!
Gets back home...↓
 
 I had a must needed coffee, while reading the Waitrose Food magazine↓
 I put the dishwasher on..
Then for a light lunch↓
 I helped my neighbour with his shopping before I left.
Now for some great singing:
I have a peek in the newspaper↓

He is 73 years old🎈
Gwen Guthrie, American singer ("Ain't Nothin' Goin' on but the Rent"), died of cancer aged 48 years old in 1999.
     A first look of the week at the fields of fun↓
 I performed some great miracles again!
Plus a great red face! 
Back on to the singing wheel↓
Back home↓
 Coffee and nibble↑
Back out to do the afternoon Lollipop shift.
Oh dear.
One car failed to stop, and went straight under my lollipop stick.
The car driver on the other side, rolled down his window, and said:
"You should stick that stick through his windscreen!"
I laughed, and replied,"Don't give me ideas!"
One Porsche driver was revving up his car behind me when I was crossing some parents over!
One van looked like it wasn't going to stop, until the very last minute....
I survived!
Back home to get changed.
Off to the Happy Place Of Work.
Nice red sky when I got finished↓

 I makes my meat-free Stir Fry.

Yum Yum
Now to burn it off at the final job of the day.
While going past the Offices,
One office was open. The man was busy at work on the computer. I noticed the gold bell attached to the wall....
Does it get rung if they get a sale????
Now for some great music↓


 I gets back.
Jumps into a hot shower...
Afterwards, the plan is to catch up with the weekend newspapers in a very warm kingsize bed....
Zzzzzzzzz
