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.

Quick look in the newspaper afterwards:

Bernard "Bernie" Dwyer was an English Drummer most famous for his work with the 60s Manchester beat group Freddie and the Dreamers.He was the first Drummer for Freddie and the Dreamers when they first formed in 1963. Since he couldn't do The Freddie (A Dance move made by The Dreamers) during performances due to him being sat down, Dwyer would bob his head left to right. He remained in the band until 1971. 

He sadly died aged 62 in 2002

The Beatles release "Beatles For Sale", their fourth studio album in 1964.

We carried on the four programmes on Live And Death Row.
The Mass Execution consists of four 60 or 75 minute episodes looking at the 8 inmates on Arkansas death row who's executions were pushed forward due to the expiration date on the Midazolam used in these executions.

The we watched Series 1 of Life and Death Row.

Episode 1, Execution:

   With unprecedented access inside prison walls, it discovers what it's like to live with the threat of the death chamber, as well as hearing from victims and their families and the family of those on death row - some praying for execution, some hoping for a reprieve. Each episode focuses on a key aspect of the system - execution, trial and appeal.

For two of the youngest men on death row in Texas, execution day has arrived. Victim Nikki Daniels reflects on her kidnapping ordeal by murderer Richard Cobb and battles with her conflicting desires to forgive him, while the mother of death row inmate Anthony Haynes fights to use the final 72 hours to halt her son's execution for the murder of a police officer.

Episode 2:Judgement.

 This film follows the trial of 26-year-old Guy Heinze Jr, with remarkable access to the jury members charged with reaching a verdict on allegations that Heinze beat his father and seven members of his family to death. As the trial progresses, there is legal manoeuvring while evidence about the brutal killings unfolds.

Sleep Tea time.

Now off to bed as the heating has gone off!
