Digging Up The Past!

Im eighteen years behind on my ironing. There's no use it now, it doesn't fit anyone I know - Phyllis Diller
Welcome to my Saturday 📦📦
Nice warm hug with a brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Out to get the newspaper.
Gets back and puts on the coffee machine.
Starts to get the ladders ready.
Cup of coffee to have before we start.
Now to sort out things for the tip or storage unit.
One trip to the storage unit.
Then a trip down to the tip.
Lunchtime.
Then back on it.
Another trip to the Storage Unit.
Slowly filling it up...
Then it's final trip down to the tip.
I meanwhile got the beef stew made and put in the oven...
The trusty casserole dish came out...
Dished it up when it ready.
Beef stew with leaks and green beans.
I found some old pictures of me....
Found a picture of me from 1998 with an old boyfriend called Paul.
The next photo is off two women who I used to go with to a Single Parent's Club in the late 90s.
Jackie on the left.
Ann on the right.
Next photo was me at my Birthday Party in Brannigans, in Birmingham with my good mate Harry↓
I even found a 18th Birthday card, from the staff of Poundstretchers with a £7 record token↓
I also have got all my Misty Annuals...↓
Time to get some more Magic Bags.
On the way to get the final Magic Bag,
Some one was in the wrong lane and swerved in front of me...
Nearly took my car out!
Was glad to get back home after that!
My father-in-law is having some of the above.
Out comes the Sleep Tea.
Watching series 20 of Hell's Kitchen.
Quick look into today's newspaper.
