Bargain Hunting!

 If it's good, they'll stop making it - Herbert Block
Welcome to my Thursday FunπŸ’™
Looking a bit gloomy out there!
It's Heardle time 
Heardle 60s:
 My son's answers:
Time for some breakfast and brew!
I got dressed.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet one πŸ’‹ before he left for work.
I meanwhile had lots to keep me occupied!
Put the washing back out on the line.
I watered all the plants in the garden.
Then to move things about...
Now time to leave the house.
I dropped off younger son at his new job.
I carried onto Sainsburys.
Now to get some bits.
My shampoo I normal buy has gone down to £4.50, instead of £7.
I normally get it when it's on offer.
I got some more bits for the garden as they were in the sale.
Walked about the store a few times.
Now to pay for it all.
I waited for the woman in front to load up all things on the belt.
Never bothered to put a divider between her and my shopping. I stetched over and done it myself.
I overheard the conversation from the next till.
Mother to the till Operator:
"When are the kids going back to school again?"
The son replied to his mum:
"When are you going back to work mum?"
Silence.She smiled,put the final bag in her trolley and walked off with son in toe.
The Till Operator was talking to the two women in front of me, no problem.
Got to me, nothing.
My Nectar card wouldn't scan, he took it off me, scanned it, gave it back to me, I said "Thank you."
He then scanned everything, I put it in the bags.
Paid for the things and off I went.
Loaded up Sexy Beast and off home I go.
I put the coffee machine on.
Unloaded the shopping.
Now to add to the garden a bit more!
Butterflies added to the Pear tree.
Now for a much needed coffee!
After relaxing in the garden.
Time for a light lunch.
Now to write 3 blog posts.
Tea at 3 was needed.
Got the tea on the go once blog posts were done.
Hubby came home and had a sloppy wet one
πŸ’‹ 
Tea is served.
Then kids went off to the Labour CLP meeting.
I looked into today's newspaper.
UK No.1 on this day in 1960:
Cliff Richard & The Shadows - Please Don't Tease
UK No.1 on this day in 1966:
Chris Farlowe - Out Of Time
UK No.1 on this day in 1979:
The Boomdown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays
  We just relaxed in the garden.
The kids popped into Lidl for a bit of bargain hunting....
Hubby picked them up.
Younger son's receipt.
Total was 4p!
Back in for some sleep tea.
We watched last week's Hotel Inspector.
Now off to a warm bed with warm hands.
Friday Feeling is back tomorrow 🎈
