Go On Do It!!!!!

A dress has no meaning unless it make a man want to take it off - Francoise Sagan
Welcome to my Saturday fun of bargains 🎲
We did the Heardles before breakfast.
Heardle 60s:
My son's answers:
Breakfast time.
Now out of the house....
Drops off son at work.
Now onwards to Droitwich we go.
So much traffic before we actually got there!
We parked in the Waitrose car park....
So we can have a nice walk up to the Droitwich Lions event.
Now to look around the Droitwich Lions's event.
I bought a great big hamper
(To put all my fabric in)
Lots more as well.
Hubby had to go and fetch the car to put it all in.
Once we loaded his car up with it.
He went back to park it back in Waitrose car park.
Then I waited for him to join me.
First we needed a drink!
I found all the main characters of the film, "The Secret Life of Pets" in teddy form.
Two didn't have a price on, and the woman made up the prices.
I went back into another charity shop and got the film on DVD for 50p!
Still went looking for more bargains.
Nice single :)
Nipped into Waitrose for some bits.
This was in the reduced items bin↓
There was a nice car in the car park↓
Back home to unpack all the bargains.
Another Minion to add to my collection!
Light lunch time.
Then hubby and younger son went out to do the week's shopping.
I in the meantime had to move about everything, so the big wicker basket could be put in and all my fabric put in.
Got two wicker baskets to take over to my late father-in-law's house tomorrow,to put where the Fridge and Freezer was.
Then I start to catch up on my blog.
Hubby comes back with the food.
Then we drop off son.
I have to go to 3 shops in one hour to pick up bits to take to my late Father-in-law's house tomorrow.
First stop was Dunelm.
Only had to pick up one item...
3 people in front of me, two people on the tills.
I thought I was bad when I go in there, one person's bill was £53.
I finally pick up my one item, comes out of the store. I walk over the crossing to the car park, when this blue car appears, and just drives at me on the crossing, I get over the otherside when he stops the car and shouts out of the window:
"Are you trying to get run over?"
"I was on the crossing,it was my right of way,"I replied.
I must have took him by surprise
(Not used to a woman answering him back)
"That's not a crossing!" He shouted at me.
"If you want to run me over, reverse and finish the job!" I shouted back at him.
He then parked his car opposite where my hubby was parked. I got in the passenger seat and looked in the rear view mirror.
He got out and followed wife into Dunelm.
I thought he wanted another word in my ear.
He is probably not used to trying to get hit by traffic twice a day like me in my job, 34 wks of the year!
Next stop was Tool Station and Screw Fix.
Finally got home!
Unpacked my stuff.
Hubby put the tea on, as I have blog posts to finish.
We even got to hear the whole of "Sounds of the 60s.
UK top 3 of 1965 
3:
The Fortunes - You Got Troubles
2:
The Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man
1:
The Beatles - Help
Quick look into today's newspaper:
US No.1 on this day in 2016:

Sleep Tea time.
Bed time, as we are well busy tomorrow!

Oh Dear, How Sad!

 Cheer up! The worst is yet to come! - Chase Johnson
Welcome to my Saturday 🚗
I listened to Sounds of 60s.
Then it was Breakfast and Brew.
I got dressed.
(I left the thermal vest off)
Got both kids up.
Loaded up shopping trolley into Sexy Beast. 
I gets the newspaper.
Drops off son at work.
Then off to enjoy some car booty at Stratford Car Boot.
The whole field was full.
My son and I went around twice and got some bargains!
Then I drove back home.
Bargains I bought today↑↑↑
Now for some nibbles...
I went to pick son up from work.
Nipped to the Garden Centre for more compost.
Came back.
Now for another nibble.
While I was in the front garden, potting some plants. Someone handed in next door's neighbour's son's keys as he left them in his Land Rover.
As hubby has got Covid, I went round to hand them in.
Went past their old television...↓
I gave my neighbour the keys. Made him a coffee.
I told him about hubby's dad passing away.
His response was: "Oh well, nevermind."
I left soon afterwards.
Now to carry on potting some plants.
Finished for now.
Still got more to do tomorrow.
Tea time.
Yum!
Quick look in today's newspaper.

"I had the radio on!" - Marilyn Monroe
Welcome to my Sunday Love 💓
Nice big hug...
Brew with breakfast.
Up I got,
Thermal vest goes on.
Lots of chores to do...
Coffee machine goes on....
As does the breadmaker..
Now to get out for some fresh air...
Nips to the local garden centre.
Reminds of someone....
Meets someone in there, I used to work with.
She left the company, 3 weeks ago.
They still haven't replaced me after 2 years!
We loaded the plants in the car.
Then off to Co-op for some reduced food.
One of my friends who I talk to on weekday afternoons was just driving off in his car.
I shouted several times, he finally stopped.
I asked him,"If there were any bargains to be had."
"I didn't see any,"He said.
"I will see you next week, and have a good Sunday!" I said to him.
We get a trolley and look in there.
Loads of reduced food!
Loaded up car, and off to see my parents.
I taking away the pot of plants, as the lavender has died over the winter.
Back home we go.
Unloads the car of food and plants.
The bread was done!
We had sandwiches outside in the sunshine.
Afterwards, he did his thing.
I had some quiet time in the garden to pot and tidy up the garden!
Not bad for 3 hours gardening!
Meanwhile hubby had been getting on with the Roast Chicken Tea.
Yum.
We then caught up with the final episode of "Dragon's Den".
"Have I Got News For You!"
&
Final 2 episodes of the second season of "Fame"
