A Taste of Aggro Part 1

If I were two-faced,would I be wearing this one? - Abraham Lincoln
After going to bed late last night...
 I had a much needed lie-in...
We enjoyed cuddles and tea in bed..
Back off to sleep a bit more..
Then it was up up up↗↗↗
Washing machine, dish-washer and tumble drier on...
Getting some housework done...
 While I am doing that, my hubby goes and gets and delivers my dad's newspaper.
When he comes back, he is all upset.
He says,"Your dad is looking like death."
I get in touch with my younger brother who was working and will try to pop in to see our dad. Hubby goes back round to see my dad again. Younger brother turns up, and both he and my dad talk my hubby out of phoning the 111 service to get a doctor to look at him.
My younger brother tells phones me to give me a lecture on what NOT to say to my dad because he doesn't want to see him upset.
I put the phone down on him in mid word.
He is starting to turn out to be an Arsehole like my other brother(who I don't speak to!)
Back to doing the housework....
Hubby comes back. He will phone the Doctor's surgery tomorrow and book a home visit for the doctor to come out.
I am guess the dreaded Pneumonia is coming back.
(He nearly died from that in April)
The chicken goes in the oven.
More washing and drying to do...
The Christmas cake will have to be made either tomorrow or Tuesday.....
 Tea is served up!

I had a nice big lie-in.
It involved tea, snuggles,and a 16 tog duvet!
 Hubby's mission was to put up the two curtain poles I bought yesterday.
I had a quick look at the Birthdays before I got out of bed.

 My Amazon order turned up↓
Hubby put the curtain pole up in the kitchen.
Now just waiting on for the warmer curtains to arrive (From Ebay) to put up↓
 Light lunch↓
Then he put up the curtain pole in the Living Room ;)
Then out for ride in Sexy Beast.

 

 Checked his tyres.

 Hubby sorted out the clothes out in our bedroom.
While I had a little play with Kenny!

  Once the cakes were baked in the oven.
We put our tea in the oven to cook.
Kids had their showers, and got their things ready for school.
I got my stuff ready for my jobs too.
I managed to unload, and load up the dishwasher twice so far today....
What with washing, baking, and enjoying a much deserved lie-in, will it a third time with the dishwasher????
We caught up with some episodes of 
That the ending was cut off from some episodes we had recorded off another channel off Sky or they didn't show.
*My hubby reminded my younger brother to see our dad tomorrow.*
"If Needs Must..." text message came again.
It going to get to the point, we will be seeing our dad 7 days a week and it will be 0 times for him!!
Then once our dad has gone, he will moan he didn't spend enough time with him. 
He starts with that conversation, the phone will be put down!!!!! 
It's now getting well cold at night.
Mad dash to jump into pyjamas and snuggle down under that 16 tog duvet is a MUST!
All ready to mount that Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow...

One B-I-G L-I-E I-N today 🛏
I had sent in a Birthday request for my hubby's Birthday for tomorrow and my eldest son on Wednesday to be read out on the 📻
They didn't play the request :(
My email probably ended up in the 
Box
  Once we finally got up,
So many things to do...
Washing machine went on 4 times,
followed by the tumble drier..... 
Unloaded the dish washer 
&
Loaded it back up.
While hubby and kids went to do a minimum food shop...
I went off to work....
with some good tunes to listen to...
When I got back,
I had to tidy up my kitchen,
Order a new mop,
and 
the final birthday present for my youngest son.
While making my hubby's birthday card.
The ex-plum phones again....
(Second time in 6 months.....)
(Could he be after a Birthday Card 
&
Father's Day Card?????)
 He asks "What my youngest son want to be after he leaves school?"
My son replies "Chief"
Ex-plum then says a nasty comment about my cooking...
Let's hope my youngest son doesn't take after him either↓↓
(Ex-plum's attempt of cooking a burger!)
I finished making my hubby's Birthday Card.
I'm going to enjoy my hubby's company tomorrow, as he has got the day off from work!
Now to get everything ready to mount the Wobby Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow....

Getting My Hands Dirty....

Flowers are happy things - P.G.Wodehouse
Welcome to my Sunday...
The ear-plugs had to be inserted last night, as I couldn't sleep over the snoring....
All that gardening yesterday,
Made me oversleep!
However, we mustn't moan at having a lie-in!
 Bacon and black pudding sandwiches with coffee for breakfast...
Once up, the washing machine went on,
as the dishwasher too.
The sun was out....
Quick coffee and nibble↓
 Hubby loaded his car up for a trip to the tip.
I meanwhile had to go to work...
 Some great tunes to listen to..↓
When I returned from work..
Hubby had mowed the lawn...
All ready for Spring!
