I worked in Poundstretchers from 1989 -1990.

We laid some flowers for hubby's mum, who celebrated her 85th birthday this month.

I Am Not Worthy!

One way to help the weather make up its mind is to hang out the washing - Marcelene Cox
Welcome to my sweaty Thursday..
Change of plan for the weekend...
No trip to Ikea,
Just rejig the Dining Room about....
A very early picture appeared on my timeline on fb...
Back in 1989,
I was a humble shop assistant working on the Youth Training Scheme in Poundstetchers...
(Playing with Henry the hoover)↓

I gave everyone some sweaty πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹ before they all left.
Coffee first..↓
Dishwasher
&
Washing Machine on.
Got out the new mop and used a new flavour of Zoflora...
Mmmmmm lovely!
Now for a lovely lunch..↓
Back on the Wobbly Work wheel 🎑
It is so warm↓
Big sunglasses timeπŸ•Ά
 Quick look at the newspaper↓
There might be clouds...
But it is WARM!


My face turns to beetroot in a space of an hour....
I get help packing away \o/
 Another chin sweated off!
Listened to some great 70s tunes...on the way back home↓

Another cold shower
followed by a cold lolly
Off to do my other job.
Again the beetroot coloured face returns.
My t-shirt actually starts sticking to me,
I was that hot....
I had a cold wash...
Felt like doing the Timotei moment in the garden....

Instead I have another cold shower
I gave my hubby a big hug when he came back from work.
Once we had tea,
He had to do my dad's shopping.
I meanwhile had my final job to do with some great music...
 Looking for another kitchenette from the 1960s.
I'm finding out most are up north on Ebay.
My cheeky brother quoted me £70 to fetch one 45 miles away!!!
Now to enjoy the bed!
The Friday Feeling is back tomorrow 🍾🍾
