Oh, How Love The Taste Of Birthday Cake!

It was so so cold this morning.

Scraped the car...

It was minus 5c....

Once I finished first shift of Job 1,

 The temperature had gone up a bit to minus 4.5c

Joined in celebrations of my local library celebrating its 40th birthday

Cake, coffee and chat with old friends

 The temperature is going to go down to minus 3c  tomorrow morning

Time to warm the thermal knickers again!

 

At Least Something's Warm!!

It was minus 4c overnight.

The thermal knickers were put on

Time to scrape the car.

It was minus 3.5c at the time of the first shift of Job 1

2 pairs of gloves, 2 scarves, and  7 layers of clothing under my big coat...

Nearly had a play with Henry the Hoover.

However I got wind of bargain.....

A pack of 6 Kilner jars for £4!!!!

You never have enough jam jars!

Thermal knickers are warmly nicely on the radiator,

At least something will be warm....

for  tomorrow..:P

 

Touching The Arse!!

Back on the wobbly work wheel,

Got wet, and dodged cars on the 1st shift of JOB 1

Went to Webb's to enjoy coffee and toast.

On the way back home..

I experienced what Dennis Weaver put up with in the film "Duel"

This lorry driver was driving right up my arse!

 It was that close, I couldn't read his licence plate number.

Got to the traffic lights at Hanbury Turn Pub.

I was driving 5 mph as there was a queue at the Traffic lights.

The lorry driver  slammed his brakes on behind me!

It nearly took me out on the Aldi's roundabout.

Like Dennis Weaver in the film, I made it out alive....just!

 

 

Getting The Look!!

Woke up to see it was snowing...

Didn't last too long, all gone by dinnertime!

I dressed down today (far too cold to wear a dress)

I bought new large school shoes for my youngest son.

It might take a few weeks for him to break in those Doc Martins shoes..

Went to have a look in Waitrose for any bargains..

I had the "Pretty Woman look"off one member of staff

The look of "what are YOU doing in here ?"

The same look, Julia Roberts had when she walked into the posh shop on Rodeo Drive in the Pretty Woman film.

I just rolled my eyes loudly..

I handed over my Waitrose card,sipped my free coffee and  got the free magazine too boot!

Playing With Chopsticks

We were on the big shoe hunt today.

Mind you it was freezing...

Lots of layers to keep out the cold

Two pairs of new big sized trainers later..

 I had better watch out, they might be wearing my trainers soon!!

 More adult sized school shoes and PE pumps bought!!

Had a lovely takeaway M&S coffee...

For dinner I had takeaway Sweet and Sour chicken with noodles...

Even mastered using the chopsticks!

 

Size Matters

We were supposed to have loads of snow over night!

Yeah right.....

Just a little sprinkle....

Still freezing cold.....

Went to Webb's for a half price breakfast...

Roll on the weekend...

As we are doing the shoe hunt.

Both children needing more big school shoes.

The way it's going..

 they will be wearing clogs....(they never wear out!)

 

Truly Madly Deeply

After having an early night I felt ready for another day.

Wearing several layers of clothing....the snow is coming....

I heard earlier the great Alan Rickman had died.

My middle son is named after his character in the film Truly,Madly,Deeply.

I have grew up watching his films, Die Hard, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves,Close My Eyes, & Help,I'm Fish.

I must be the only person in the world that hasn't watched Love Actually!

He has joined the many stars in the night time sky.

He leaves a legacy of some great films!
