Trying To Find The Odd Bargain!

My husband said he needed more space. So I locked him outside - Roseanne
Welcome to my Saturday...
I enjoyed  a cup of tea and a snuggle in bed. 
 I even got to hear the final hour of "The Sound of the 60s"!
We all got up and out of the house by 9.30am. as we were off to Droitwich.
 Of course it had to rain!
We go and see what bargains are at the Droitwich Lions.
While my hubby takes one of my sons to his Boxing Lesson. My other son and me look around the charity shops in the rain.
 Stopping under cover.
We had been in all of the charity shops.
I only bought 3 things...
 We looked in Waitrose and got some bargains.
On the way to meet hubby, there was a nice car parked outside Waitrose↓
 
 Waved goodbye to Waitrose
 &
The church on the hill↓
 Nice nibble to eat↓
 Unpacked my items I bought.
 While hubby went to fetch our son from his boxing lesson.
I put the curtain up over the front door.
 Our son came back with the new boxing gloves I bought him.
 (Early Christmas present)
My lunch↓
 Then we had a ride out to Bromsgrove to look in their Charity Shops.
Oh dear, we only bought one DVD and Kevin the Carrot cup.
Hubby nearly lost his ticket to get out of the car park. The rain wasn't helping either!
Back home to have tea!
 Jay Black, American singer (Jay and the Americans),is 81 years old 🎈
 Bruce Welch (The Shadows) is 78 years old 🎈

Stefanie Powers, American actress, is 77 years old 🎈
  While I caught up on the blog.
We caught up on last week's television.
&
The Graham Norton Show.
 Dame Julie Andrews, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and Sir Ian McKellen join Graham Norton on his sofa.
We did the sandwiches for our trip to the NEC tomorrow.
Hopefully the rain will keep off...
Nearly finished the book I have been reading.
 Then off to try some ideas of my new book on hubby....

 We have a lovely breakfast.
We left in our rain macs.
We waved to the Tower
 There was a nice car in the near by car park↓
 We caught the tram to Star Gate.
Then got utterly soaked  going from Tram to Bus Stop in the space of 20 minutes.
 I had to wring out the water in my skirt a few times!
Good job I had leggings on!
One bus failed to stop.
The next bus did stop!
We goes to Lytham St Annes.
We pop into the First Charity Shop.
Where to get a change of trousers for our kids, as they are soaked as well.
I buy all the teddy bear wool.
The next charity shop,
I buy myself another skirt!
Now to visit a nice coffee shop

There was some nice music playing outside the Charity Shop.
 Then we jump onto a bus to Lytham.
There were lots of Charity Shops.
I got some nice things.
Another Red Telephone Box.
We jump on to another bus to Blackpool.
Tram to the South Pier.
Late lunch time!
 That is giving me ideas for later↓
 Back on the tram to the B&B.
