 You wouldn't get away with that if my scriptwriter was here 
- Bob Hope
Welcome to my Friday Feeling 🎈
Nice big hug for Friday 🎈
Brew with breakfast.
Dressed.
It forcasted rain for this morning.
So on went the sexy lumo trousers.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹before I left the house.
I got my waterproof clothes on....
I put my lights on...
Now for the fun to start..🎈
Some cars were failing to stop,
But on the flip side, some had to press their brakes very quickly when my stick got lowered.
The Mystery blue Skoda came out of the road up the road and turned right.....
Mmmm blue 20 plate Skoda.....I am still keeping my eye for it!
The sun came out, I'm glad it didn't turn out too warm, would have been well hot under the collar!
Finished in one piece.
I collected the newspaper on the way home.
I put the coffee machine on...
I sorted out tonight's tea,
All ready to put on later on...
I wrote yesterday's blog post up to lunch.
It is supposed to be sunny but chilly.
Time to leave the house....
I chattered with my friend until I started work.
Let the fun start again...🎈
Most car drivers did behave themselves.
Especially when I lowered the stick down.
A quieter Friday than normal!
Finished in one piece.
Back home.
Time to put on the tea for later...
Hubby came home for a sloppy wet πŸ’‹
Dishing up the nice tea...
Faggots with Mash, and onion gravy.
Hubby goes off to do the food shopping with younger son.
I have a quick look in today's newspaper.

Welcome to my Sunday πŸ’“
We had a bit of a lie-in...
Then it was nice hug to start Sunday with.
Brew with breakfast.
Dressed.
Then it was load up the car with stuff to go down the tip.
Full car, hubby went with one of our sons.
I meanwhile put the coffee machine on.
And sorted through more boxes from the loft.
When they came back,
It was coffee time!
Now back to sorting through boxes.
Found some Woolworth's vouchers...
Once the car was loaded up,
Off to the Storage Unit , hubby and son went to.
When they came back,
It was lunchtime.
Then it was time to pick up 2 magic bags from two different branches of Morrisons.
While waiting to pick one up from the Redditch Branch. One woman was arguing over her lottery scratch card with the cashier....
A good five minutes, she still left with £5 winnings, but she is coming back later to argue that it should be doubled.....
I finally got my lucky bag!
Then we drove to the Kidderminster branch of Morrisons.
We had to wait 5 minutes for it.
Once we had it, we sorted a bag out for hubby's dad to have.
As well as 2 big slices of Where's Wally's cake for him as well.
Then we drove home to load up the remaining things to go down the tip.
I tidied up the back garden while they went there.
The Pork Joint went into the oven.
Used up the vegetables I had in my Magic Bag today.
A cat left us a present.
In the past week, he got left 2 mice and now 2 rats.
Once all the washing was dried in the tumble drier.
Time to dish up the tea.
Used up the mint sauce, as we had no Crab Apple Jelly left.
Now to go and collect two more Magic Bags.
One from M&S which was half a bag.
&
From Waitrose,which was half a bag as well.
While reading the Waitrose newspaper.
Paul Jones was in there↓
He likes drinking lots of Green Tea!
I go and have a nice refreshing shower.

Welcome to my Saturday ⌛
I didn't get up early today like any other Saturday, when I wake up at 6am!
I will catch up with Sounds of the 60s during the week on catch up.
Nice to have a warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Hubby is having his flu jab this morning.
Now to leave the house
Making the most of the nice weather!
The scandals come out!
First we drop off son at his work place.
Then onto town we go.
We parks in Car Park 4, as 
Car Park 7 has been knocked down!
Onto Boots for hubby's flu jab.
Once that was done, we bought the newspaper and a coffee to go.
Back home to start back on emptying the loft.
We had lunch halfway through sorting through boxes. There is a nice big pile to go to the tip tomorrow morning.
Hubby done one trip to the Storage unit with son.
When he got back, we had tea.
Then it's on the search for hubby to get some Diesel for his car.
We managed to get some from Morrisons.Then the queues started to form.
I got my first Magic Bags of the evening from Morrisons in Astwood Bank.
The staff in the Petrol Station had not experienced the demand for petrol before.
They had run out of diesel and running low on unleaded.
Told them to write a funny message and leave it out for the car drivers when they run out of unleaded!
Then onto M&S which is also a Petrol Station.
They had run out of fuel except food.
I got my Magic Bag.
Moved onto Waitrose on the motorway services.
Not a lot of queues at that petrol station.
Got my Magic Bag.
Now back home to unpack them all!
Then we watched...
Then I looked into today's newspaper.
