Plants & Pants!

 I'm no angel, but I've spread my wings a bit - Mae West
 Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Hubby's back is giving him problems...
A little rub helped!
Extra warm hug and brew helped.
Breakfast.
Both kids were at home today.
I still opened their bedroom windows.
Dressed.
Gave out sloppy wet 💋💋💋
On goes those big big sunglasses.
On goes the Summer Coat.
Let the fun start....
No sighting of the Lambo today.
Nice view of Rolls Royce with the gold lady on top of the Bonnet instead...
Blue skies and it was getting warm!
Finished in one piece.
Now to take a little ride in Sexy Beast.
I got some things for the Birthday Cake I am making for my youngest son's Birthday next week and some nice reduced items!
Still have to prove my age!
Now for some cold coffee..
The temperature is going up when I got home.
Hubby's new pants arrived and more plants for me was delivered!
Before I put the shopping away.
I cleaned out the fridge, and sorted out all the food in there!
Looking a lot better now!
Puts all the food away.
Feeds the birds.
Waters the plants.
Repots the plants that came earlier.
I received my P45 from my old Cleaner job.
Time for lunch!
I find out my new trainers I bought last year, that I can actually fit into now!
Now out to do the afternoon shift.
Once I turned on my lights, I sat on the bench in the park in the shade. One parent didn't like it and had to sit on the bench further up.
Now for the fun to start!
One learner driver nearly ended up with a cracked windscreen, as my lollypop stick was in the middle of the road. It looked the Driving Instructor slammed on the brakes!
Then another car failed to stop on that side, and my stick nearly went BONG BONG on his car roof when he went past!
One Elderly gentleman had to slam his brakes on as my lollypop stick was in way of going further. I could hear the gums banging when I crossed over the road, and when I returned back to the pavement. I put my hand up to say thank you for stopping....
What a afternoon!
Back home for a suck on a lolly!
My neighbour's son had some spare flowers left over at work.
(Good job I have 3 bags of compost
&
some pots!)
Tea is served.
Now to repot as many plants as I can before it gets dark!
I ran out of compost and pots!!
I still had plants left and some plants coming in the post tomorrow!
Back out tomorrow to get more pots and compost!
The old sofa was put out for collection.
By 9.45pm I had finished watering the plants I had planted...
I was so tired.....
Gave hubby a back rub to help with the pain......
Let's hope the sunshine carries on tomorrow....

Too Much TNT!

 Some people can't be fooled on April Fool's Day because they were fooled too many times during their entire lifetime.”

Welcome to my Thursday 👺
Warm hug and brew.
Breakfast.
Hubby had to leave early as he was having his Covid vaccine this morning.
Gave him a wet sloppy 💋 before he left.
I woke the kids up ready for school.
I got dressed and ready to sew up my son's pocket on his coat!
When I finished, he didn't want to wear his coat, even though the weather is turning from warm to bloody cold!
Gave my kids sloppy wet 💋💋 before they left.
I added more recycling to the green bins before they were emptied.
Fed the birds outside.
Now first day of freedom!
My turn to get the newspaper!
I just turned out of my road, a great big TNT lorry wasn't stopping, I had to resort to parking on the pavement or I would have been hit!
No parking spaces outside the shop either!
One car blocked in a van that was trying to get off the parking space in front of the shop.
I said my hellos to everyone in the shop, and was glad to see everyone.
I went past my dad's house, it was still looking like a public car park.
On the way back home, the same TNT lorry was trying to get out of my road. As there was cars parked also at the start of the road, the space to try to squeeze past the lorry was tight. The TNT lorry driver got out of his cab and said to me, "You can get through the space!"
Looking at the marks on side of the lorry, he has squeezed through some spaces and took paint off some vehicles!
I just got through the space, without touching the black BMW parked on my left and the lorry on my right.
I was glad to get home! 
I was glad of the a much needed coffee!
Now to write yesterday's blog post.
Still no luck on how the house sale of my late dad's house is going, no one telling me anything :(
Finally get to lunch. 
Next to declutter is the draws of my late parent's sideboard. The other half will be done tomorrow with hubby.
2 black bags of stuff later....
I finally found a photo of my late mum I had been looking for.
It was took back in 2000 when we were flying out for a holiday in Benidorm.
My mum passed away in 2013 :'(
Tea at 3.
I had a little play with Henry...
Hubby came home, he was feeling fine after having his jab....
I gave him a wet 💋
He gave me one back!
Nice Veggie tea.
My friend enjoyed his Birthday card and presents I got him :)
We caught up with Judge Rinder.
Quick look into today's newspaper.
