No Soggy Bottoms Here Thanks!

Any fool can tell the truth,but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well - Samuel Butler.

 Welcome to my Tuesday ⛄

It was nice to have a warm hug,

(And I not to rush out either)

Brew with hug.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he left.

He was laiden with his snooker cue, magic bag for his dad, and mince pies.

I wished him good luck for his snooker match later on.

Then I got up.

Thermal vest goes on, as well as Santa Hat.

While younger son was getting ready to come out with me.

The Pink car was ready to go to a new home.

Loaded it up into Sexy Beast.

Picked up the newspaper.

I went past my late dad's house.

They are putting the roof on the extension they put on the side of the house.

Dropped in to see my friend.

Gave her the car, card and mince pies.

Had coffee and chat and son played some games with her daughters.

Then I was off again to drop off another Christmas Card.

He wasn't in when I knocked the door. I posted his Christmas card through the letter box, and left his bag of mince pies by his front door.

Traffic lights appeared on the way to the Co-op, I went down one road and a truck was blocking the way through, I reversed and just about to come out of junction when a BMW went the way I had been, 

(Then he saw the lorry, and the brake lights went on!) 

My son was surprised I knew all the back roads around here. I delivered mail around here for 20+ years, there would be a problem if I didn't!

I managed to get back onto the main road, there was a long of tailbacks on the otherside of the road due to the Traffic lights. 

We got some bits from Co-op.

Then on to a quick look around a garden centre.

25% of Christmas bits.

I put a mini Christmas tree and tinsel for my parent's grave.

Son made a bee line for the Jigsaws.

£5 off.

I got myself a Nutcracker Soldier which will be added to the rest of my Christmas Decorations.

Next stop was to drop in and see my parents.

As I was waiting at the Road Traffic Island, who happened to go past, the younger gold digging brother of mine. He stared at me when he went past, he probably could feel the burn of my stare when he carried on up the highway!

Then into Sainsburys we went.

Nice car was parked in the car park.

We got some bits.

Then off home we went.

Hubby phoned me when I got back.

His boss ate one of my mince pies and said:

"No soggy bottoms then!"

Next up was to have a quick play with Kenny.

I used up the old bananas and added chocolate chips to the mix.

Mixed it up and put it in the oven.

Son soon completed the 3D jigsaw.

Tea at 3

Now to get 2 blog posts wrote.

The Nutcracker Soldier looks great with all my Christmas things!

I had another meat free tea.

What is behind the Advent Calender Door?

Quick look in today's newspaper.

Hubby texted to say his team won 3-2 and he was on the way back.

Banana Bread made.

Sleep tea time.

When hubby came back, he had a sloppy wet 😘

He didn't win his snooker match.

Excuses excuses.

He should enjoy the rest from it over Christmas.

He can light the Christmas Pudding with the cue tip of his snooker cue on Christmas Day!

(He didn't find that funny, but I did!)

 
 

 
 
 

Trying Not To Slip & Slide!

It's the good girls keep diraries. The bad girls never have the time - Tallulah Bankhead

Welcome aboard to a very cold Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

Nice warm hug.

Brew with Breakfast.

Lots of layers on top of the thermal vest.

I gives hubby his sloppy wet 💋 

Very icy, and cold outside.

I parks in the car park around the corner.

As the Covid-19 Boosters are in the hall.

2 winter hats go on with gloves, and boots.

The Christmas Santa has now returned!

Now let's go to work.

Car drivers were going a lot slower than normal because of the ice on the roads.

I hope where I stand in the afternoon, defrosts, as it is slippy as hell on that side of the road.

Everyone commenting on how cold it is this morning. It was -2.5c when I started this morning.

Few car drivers kept going and not stopping on the otherside of the road.

At least I finished in one piece.

I was careful going back to Sexy Beast.

I got changed and just about to walk down to the Post Office, when I forgot my facemask.Back to the car to fetch that.

I was careful going down the hill. Gets my letters weighed and gets asks if I know these people I have wrote a letter too.

"Nope, not yet, as they are on Death Row in America, I won't get to meet them personally either."

She was fascinated about it.

I told her about the series on Netflix about people being on Death Row. 

I found a website that you can write to inmates  on Death Row. So I did!

The queue was getting longer in the Post Office, so I finished my conversation and said goodbye once I paid the postage.

I just about got up the hill, but nearly slipped over in the car park near my car.

Gets off my boots.

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

Puts on the coffee machine.

I moved the things around in the bathroom to create more room in there!

Put the recycling out, and fetch some bread to the birds.

I had my minor workout after that!

Coffee is now needed.

I had to chase up Amazon up as they charged me full price for two Amazon echos instead of £29.99, I even put the discount code in.

I will have to wait for them to be delivered next week to get the refund!

I write yesterday's blog all the way to lunchtime!

Now for part two.

Nice little tune on repeat on the way to work.

Managed to park in the car park of the old Health Centre.

I gets gloves and 2 winter hats and walks up to put on my lights.

Has a good rabbit with my two friends before I start my afternoon shift.

Now to start.

One parent commented he nearly slipped over on the pavement before I crossed him back over this morning.

I'm glad the ice has now been defrosted on the pavement.

One parent I was talking to, was saying she went out for meal with 3 others on Saturday at a nearly pub. The cost was for three courses each, wine etc...... The amount was £280!

I pointed out I don't drink alcohol, I normally drink lemonade, but go dangerous and have lime added to it!

I wished her a happy Birthday for tomorrow.

Finished in one piece.

Hometime.

When I got home, the younger son had got all the boxes of Christmas decorations out from the loft.

He has put all a Christmas Tree in his room.

Hubby is at snooker tonight, and won't be putting up the decorations in the house until tomorrow night. The boxes went back up in the loft.

Someone was kept downstairs mind.

In need of a  strong brew...

Out comes the new wok we bought Saturday.

Meat Free Stir-Fry time.

Quick look in the newspaper.

I go upstairs to wash my teeth, and surprise surprise, a DPD van goes up the road....

Then I receive a pic of my parcel...

Let's DPD customer service department know it's been delivered wrong.

They will phone me back tomorrow morning.

I let the seller know the parcel has been delivered else.

I say goodbye to my friend.

No chance of tap and crack!

Back to the pavement I go.

At least I finished in one piece!
