Time For The Thermals To Come Out!

If you can afford it, then there is no pleasure in buying it 

- Wallis Simpson

Welcome to my Thursday fun 👌

I had a nice warm hug with a brew.

Breakfast.

The thermal vest went on...

Dressed.

Gave hubby a sloppy wet 😘 before I went out.

Woah it was a bit nippy out.

4 layers, under my Winter coat.

Winter hat and gloves were put on.

I put my lights on,

Let the fun now start...🍭

It was a bit quiet for traffic as the High School had broken up for their half term holiday yesterday. Still had a few cars trying not to stop!

Especially going past, looking up at the stick as they drove past.

A few minutes to go before I finished, a car came out of the nearby side road, put her foot down and sped past under my stick!

At least I didn't walk out in front of it!

Once finished, off to the Co-op to get a top up.

While bagging up, I just had to sing along....very loud to it!

I gets the newspaper on the way back home.

I noticed my neighbour going up the road on his Mobility scooter.

(He didn't too well)

Coffee machine goes on....

Warms up the computer to start to write the blog post...

But first, coffee...

After my Amazon delivery had been, I noticed an Ambulance was out the front.

Then a stretcher was took next door.

My neighbour was brought out on it and loaded up into the Ambulance, and it drove away.

I asked my neighbour's son, "what was wrong with his dad?"

"His oxygen level is too low. He was looking very ill,He has lived a extra 12 months to what the doctors said last year!"He replied.

Back to finish my blog post, up to lunch.

Back out for the afternoon shift.

3 layers under my Summer Coat.

Once I turned on my lights..

I enjoyed soaking up the rays...

I had none of my friends turn up to chat to.

Soaked up the rays until I started my shift. 

Most car driver did stop, just had a few just stop in the Keep Clear space.

I finished in one piece.

Now back home.

Time for a much needed coffee...

I was sorting out the tea, when had a message from hubby, he working over, but he can leave early tomorrow because of it \o/

He came back later and still had sloppy wet 💋

Tea is now served.

Quick look in today's newspaper.

I have ordered some things to do my D.I.Y project.

Hopefully when they deliver them, it's to my house and not one of the factories...

The Business which sent my parcel, has now got so quiet over a refund, might have to go down the legal route if I don't hear from them soon.

Sleep Tea time.

Friday Feeling 🎈 is back tomorrow🎈

Welcome to my Saturday Fun 🎈

It is the 8th anniversary of my mum passing away.

If it stops raining later, I might be able to drop in the balloons and lavender plants I bought last week.

Nice hug with a brew.

Breakfast.

Gets kids up.

Dressed.

Loaded up the new case into Sexy Beast's boot. 

The rain is in for the day by the looks of it.

Drops off son at his place of work.

The other son and me goes and sees Joe and Tracy. 

I try and sort out Tracy's sewing machine out.

I get out my sewing machine.

The coffee is flowing.

I bought a nice wall hanging and some coloured candles.

My youngest son bought a lucky bag.

Packed up sewing machine.

Thanked Joe and Tracy.

Back home to hang up the nice wall hanging.

My son had some nice things in his lucky bag.

My other part of my Aldi order had been delivered.\o/

I got out my felt book to see how much felt I needed for the felt wreath I made.

I used up more than 11 sheets of felt for mine!

It was still raining when we left do some more food shopping.

We picked up son from his work place.

We were trying to get out of the car park,

One car driver was coming in.

We couldn't back up as a car was behind us, and two other cars were waiting to get out as well.

 She got out of her car and said to us:

"I'm not reversing on to the main road!".

I rolled my eyes.

We couldn't reverse, and we just sat there.

She reversed a bit and then we could get out of the car park and go.

She had a silver van behind her trying to get into the car park as well.

We dropped one son off at home. 

First stop was Morrison's. Our son had to finish off neighbour's food shopping from Friday.

Nice drive out to Stratford's Waitrose.

Got the free Waitrose magazine and newspaper.

Got some bits for my son's cooking lesson for Monday.

Moving onto Stratford's Lidl.

Got more bits in there..

(Stocked up the garlic in the jar!)

Now for a nice drive back home in the rain.

Unloads the shopping.

I starts sorting out the dirty washing when my phone goes...

I won the £100 gift voucher to spend in Joe's shop.

*The nice wall hanging I bought was the item needed to buy to win the £100 gift voucher!*

I put the mixed colour pasta in the saucepan.

I fried up some mushrooms, spinach, and garlic.

Washing machine had been put on 3 times.

The tumble drier has now been up on.
