Nearly......

The first Sunday I sang in the church choir, 200 people changed their religion - Fred Allen.

Welcome to very cold Thursday 😨

The rain has moved elsewhere \o/

Breakfast and Brew.

Thermal vest and Thermal knickers goes on.

Dressed.

Big coat and Russian hat goes on.

Now to leave the house.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before I go.

I tried to put my lining into my Winter Coat.

Ran out of time, so I will add it later.

On goes the winter coat, winter hat and some very warm gloves.

Turns on my lights.

Fetches my newspaper.

Swaps my newspaper for my big stick.

Turns on my other lights.

It was very trying to say the least.

Going up the road too fast and suddenly having the slam on their brakes as I was walking across the road in front of them!

Both sides of the road, they had to brake very quick.

Some left it really late as I could have done a Tap and Crack on their windscreen!

Parking in the the Keep Clear space was being done as well!

At least I had no low lying sun to deal with!

Finished in one piece.

Off to Morrisons.

At the self-service till.

None of the reduced food barcodes would scan.

Even the full priced Blueberries. 

I had to fetch another pack of Blueberries as it was 3 for 2.

Got shopping.

Back home.

Put my shopping away.

Quick coffee.

Then I made a Cauliflower Cheese.

Left it in the oven for later.

Now out to have a quick haircut.

While I was waiting, a Barry song appeared on the radio.

Just had to sing-a-long

Felt better afterwards.

I will have to wear that Russian Hat a bit more often now.

Back home.

More Minions arrived.

Time for some Liquid lunch.

I talked to hubby on his lunchbreak.

Now off to do the afternoon shift.

On goes my winter hat, winter coat

&

The big big sunglasses.

I go and put on the first set of lights.

Off down to the Charity Shop.

Someone came out of the shop holding the blue/white rug I had donated this week :)

Loads of bargains in there...

Gets my bargains.

Says goodbye to all the staff.

Turns on my lights.

Exchanges my bargains for my big stick.

Off to the square for a rabbit!

My two other friends joined us.

They told me, they rejected the offer of car insurance (as it had gone up too much)

They went with another insurance company.

Only for the old insurance company to take out £600 on the old debit card that had expired!

So they had fun this morning to get the £600 back. As the old debit card had expired, they will send a cheque for the full amount!

I thanked them all for coming as it was time for me to start my afternoon shift.

No low lying sun to worry about until 5 mins at the end of my shift.

The big stick had to come down.

Soon the brakes were applied!

Finished in one piece!

Back home.

Puts the oven on.

Cup of brew time.

Unpacked all my bargains...

Started taking down the pictures off the wall, leading up the stairs.

Hubby came back home and had a sloppy wet one 💋

Tea is ready.

Yum!

Afterwards I looked into today's newspaper. 

We watched last night's Headliners.

Hubby took the rest of the pictures of the wall leading upstairs.

It looks so empty and it now echos going up the stairs.....

The pictures will be back up tomorrow night :)

I had to catch up with some Council work.

Sleep Tea Time.

Lots going on tomorrow...

The most important thing is...

Friday Feeling 🎈 is back!

Once I got up, the thermal vest went on.

First up was to nip out to get the newspaper and bits for tea tonight.

I got everything from Tesco Express.

An orange Skoda has parked so the traffic lights couldn't pick him up to change to green.

A good ten minutes he was waiting for the light to change. I went the other way. 

The house next door to my late dad's old house is up for sale...

£300,000 and it's yours!

Back home.

Coffee time!

Now to use up two cauliflowers that was in this week's magic box.

I caught out some new material..

I added on top of the lining material.

Lunch time!

And

After lunch, I cut more material out.

I got the sewing machine set up.
