Cleaning Out The Dream Catchers

The quickest way to make a million? Marry it. Zsa Zsa Gabor
I don't know what I was sniffing last night..
But I had some serious bad nightmares..
Time to empty those dream catchers out!
  Once I woke up properly...
Breakfast in bed..↓
 With a much needed coffee↓
 Out for a little ride↓
 Burcot Garden Centre sent out a email earlier on last week, with a discount code on bird food.
So here we are↓
 
I bought another Poinsettia,
To keep the other one company...↓
 I got £4 off my bill.
Next stop was Lidl's↓
 I found something that could cure my hubby's snoring!
 One fellow customer said,
"It won't work!"
I replied,"If it fails, put the pillow over the nose, that will cure it!"
I enjoyed a much needed coffee↓
 I gets back home to unpack the food shopping.
Fills up the bird station.
Next to check my tyres on Sexy Beast.
 Gets back for a quick lunch.
I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Then it was to get all the things ready for the school and work week.
Even the iron had to come out a day early.
 Baths soon followed...
Even washed my Lollipop coat...
 Jack found a Aldi receipt in the Lidl trolley we used earlier...↓
Nice tea...↓
Caught up with more↓
All ready for the tomorrow's Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Remembering......

The trouble with words is that you never know whose mouths they've been in - Dennis Potter
Welcome to my Sunday.
The sun was back \o/
 I had a nice cuddle and cup of tea in bed.
 Then we got up, and out to do some shopping.
 The sun might be out,
But its still cold↓
 We get to the Shopping Park↓
I pick up a Poinsettia for £1.99
Also I had £10 off my shopping from buying the Mail on Sunday.
At 11'o clock we stopped what we were doing and stood in silence for two minutes. Pity no one did. Everyone else carried on with their shopping and talking on their phones.
Then we went to Pets At Home and Homebase.
 No I did NOT buy another pet!!
Next stop was Webbs.
Car park was rammed.
 Webbs
Poinsettia's were £6.99 each.
 
 
 Some nice table Xmas Decorations on show.
Then we went to the till.
The first couple spent £100 at the till.
The couple in front of us spent £247 and didn't bat a eyelid.
I only spent a tenner!
Finally got home!
 Late lunch↓
 More housework done.
Finally got the curtain up over the large window at the top of stairs↓
 My new book has arrived to read↓
 Chicken tea↓
 My new plant looking good!
We now have moved onto series 12 of Law and Order.
Back onto that big Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow.
First Monday of using the 🍭 
(Wish me Luck Please)
