I Don't Do Floppy!

        Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? - Mae West
Welcome to my Tuesday 💪
Nice warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Gets kids up as they having the First injection of the Covid-19 vaccine.
I give hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he goes to work.
Dressed.
We soon follow out of the door.
Gets the newspaper on the way. 
One son wanted me to go in with him while he has jab.
The woman on the door, say:
"His brother can go with him the same time as his jab."
"That's good, I won't hear the screams from my car,"I replied walking back to Sexy Beast.
"So we have to hear them then?"She replied.
A good 20 minutes they came out. Sore arms, but everything was fine.
Back home for a much needed coffee.
Does a bit of housework.
Now to plan for tonight's evening meal.
I need mushrooms and garlic!
Out again....
Gets some more nice room spray for the bathroom!
Plus a king size yellow sheet was in the sale :)
Got the bits I need for tonight's tea from  Lidl.
Back home.
Chops up the mushrooms, onions and garlic,
Then put it the pan for later.
Next was to water the garden.
I put the things back up on the wall by the front door.

The paint has now come, so hopefully the second coat will be applied tonight 🤞
Light lunch time.
Now to get and write yesterday's blog post.
Tea at 3. 
I was doing my research on getting a embroidery machine.
Prices start from £500 to £5,000+....
There were some machines using Floppy discs..
I don't do Floppy!
 My search carries on...
I have booked tickets to go to The Creative Craft Show at the NEC in November.
It looks like the Cake Show is separate this year.
Never mind, I will drag hubby around to acquire yet more craft crap!

Pasta with lots of garlic and mushrooms.
I had a quick look in the newspaper afterwards.

More Humpty Than Tumble!

 If it flies, floats or fucks, it's always cheaper to rent than to buy - Anon
 Welcome to my Saturday, not long to go until we go on holiday..🗼
As normal I woke up early.....
I enjoyed a brew before I started to write yesterday's blog post.
I listened to Sounds of the 60s while blogging, 
Once Sleeping Beauty rose from the warm pit.
I finished and published yesterday's blog post.
Now for warm hug, brew and breakfast.
Gets dressed.
Now to drop off son at work...
&
the other son to help out at the uniform bank. 
Now to town we go...
Parks in Car Park 4.
Cheeky Costa...
I then to go off to have my eyes tested....
I don't need new glasses \0/
That saved £150+
I buy a new dress to wear on holiday.
Found something to help with my worries...
Now to pick up son from work.
We were enjoying coffee and cake...
When suddenly a flock of loud mouthed crows entered the room....
One said to me as she walked into the room and called me: "Mr Tumble!".
Considering I was just sat there wearing a black flowing maxi dress with my red multi-coloured hat....
I don't look nothing like Mr Tumble
(as far I know!)
More like Humpty Dumpty!
They were being nasty to my son who served their drinks....
So reminds me of those horrible Stepford Wives I had to deal with at my kids's First School...
I just had to leave the room as my eye rolls was getting louder by the minute.
I said goodbye to Joe and Tracy and off home we went....
Gets home to find the shop had given me the wrong size dress!!!
It wasn't the same size that was on the clothes hanger..
Great, will have to change it when I get back!
Hubby went to pick up the other son from the uniform bank.
They nipped into Lidl to get tea for tonight.
I meanwhile had to pack my bags for the upcoming holiday...
Tea is served.
Quick look in the newspaper.

While on the way, one motorcyclist overtook me, done a wheelie, and sped over a ton to get to the island before me!
 Further on, 2 lanes became one, cars were still overtaking me and then squeezing into the gap I made between me and the other car in front!
Gets to the house.
Unloads all my bits including Henry.
Now to start cleaning!
The lady of the house was worried that I won't be coming back on Friday after the meeting I am having on Wednesday.
"I better buy myself a new vacuum cleaner," was the reply.
Raiding those ice cubes as I was getting nice and sweaty! 
Finished on time.
I took back all the stuff I had bought to clean the house, left the 2 tins of polish and glass cleaner which wasn't mine.
Back home I go.
Light lunch.
 
Back out for the afternoon session.
It was well warm.
Good job I took my bottle of water with me.
