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!)

Traffic Light Sandwich

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception - Groucho Marx

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

I had a nice warm hug to start the day.

The brew soon followed.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Woke up the kids ready for school.

Then I gave out the sloppy wet 💋💋💋

Out I go.
Even the big big sunglasses came out!

I looked at the weather forecast. It wasn't going to rain until it least 11 am.

I am going to risk it...

On goes the summer coat!

Tree Shot.

Traffic lights were still there!

Those dark clouds kept coming over.

Fingers crossed the rain held off until I finished.

I had a few cars having to slam on their brakes when I stuck out my lollipop stick.

No lambo today :(

I finished in one piece.

Time for a takeaway coffee!

Back home.
Once I finished my coffee...

Now to some housework of mine.

Wiped down the kitchen surfaces.

Put the washing machine on twice.

Recycle went out.

Mopped the kitchen floor.

Now to catch up with blog....

I wrote 2 blog entries up until lunch!

Light lunch time.

Now out for lollipop job...

It forecasted rain for the afternoon.

On the way to my lollipop job,

There were more traffic lights at the bottom of the road I work in.

Two sets of traffic lights in the same road!

I put on my winter coat and boots.

Good job really, it started to rain 15 minutes before I started.

Traffic was building up for a minute and then going quiet.

While I was walking back to the pavement, one child, just about to walk into the road, I grabbed hold of her hood of her coat, and got her back to the safety of the pavement.The car on the otherside of the road, was thankfully still there.

I crossed the family over safely after that!

10 minutes before the end of my shift it stopped raining \o/

My friend appeared at the end with his dog in toe.

We had a chat for 10 minutes before we said our goodbyes.

Back home for a much needed Boost!

Just gets in the car to go to my other job when the rain started again!
