Every Which Way Around The Kitchen!

When a piece gets difficult, make faces. - Vladimir Horowitz
We now have reached Sunday.
I left hubby to have his lie-in.
 Tea and toast↓
 I got two blog posts wrote.
Our local radio station read out a Birthday request (for tomorrow)
Now onto work I go
 RIP rat↓
 Listening to some good tunes↓
I gets back↓
 There was a lovely smell of white spirit coming from the back garden...
Hubby said he knocked over the jar of paint brushes with the white spirit.
FFS
I told him to wash it away.....!
While hubby goes to do a tip run.
I put all my teapots back on the shelf↓
 The unit I painted up
Now contains all my cook books in the Dining Room.
While we had a light lunch↓
 We watched Louis Theroux's Weird Weekend.
"Demolition Derby"
 Louis has to overcome his nerves to enter a demolition derby in car-mad Michigan.
 Now to sort out the kitchen.
Got everything off the surfaces.
Done a check pattern with the tiles.
Ordered a new net curtain to match the black & white theme of the kitchen.
Filled up the new cupboard..
Hubby was trying to sort out one of our son's bedroom....
After our tea,
The kids disappeared upstairs,
We watched more Louis...
First up was "Infomercials"
Louis attempts to become a presenter on Florida's Home Shopping Network TV channel and meets Anthony Sullivan and Billy Mays. He also meets people who invent, sell and make a fortune from products such as the Win Gym.
 then↓
 "Swingers"
 Louis meets a couple from Southern California who host swinging parties. He visits one of these to find out what drives couples to want to swap partners. This programme also offers a brief look into other kinds of swinging through an organisation that has a database of members that are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. Under this system, people rated highly are invited to exclusive parties intended to keep out unattractive, socially awkward, or otherwise undesirable people.
 Wow after watching that!
I'm back on the small Wobbly Work Wheel tomorrow...🎡

Oooo That's A Massive One

How time flies when it's you who doing all the talking - Harvey Fierstein
Welcome to my Saturday!
I woke up early to listen to the "Sounds of the 60s"..
Nice cup of tea

Mmmmm
I had a nice cold shower to cool down afterwards.
On goes a great t-shirt...
My nice magazine arrived..
 Off out to get some supplies for today 
 
 Enjoyed a coffee↓
 Popped in to see my dad.
Gave him his newspaper.
My younger brother turned up.
I gave him the money to pick up my kitchen unit.
 The rain is back.
We moved all the things out of the Dining room, so the unit could get in.
Now off to town we go↓
 View from the top of Car Park 4↓
 
 I have to have my eyes tested.
I had to have 3 pairs of glasses..
I chose wisely
 
 
 I look forward to wearing them.
I bumped into a dear friend.
I had a nice hug off him.
Spotted some nice sunglasses in New Look↓
 Then bumps into another friend.
(Her daughter goes to school with our youngest son)
Finally bumps into another friend who I haven't seen for 12 months.
We had a nice long catch up.
His son had a lovely big watch.
I said to him,"Wow what a maasive watch you have! Do you need sunglasses to look at it?
How much did that cost?" I asked.
He laughed and said "£360!"
I laughed and said, "Wow, my watch only cost £27!" 
I said goodbye to my friend.
Back to the car we went.
More rain due? 
 My unit arrived↓
 We put most of the things back in the dining room.
Now to enjoy a homemade lemon,mushroom, salmon risotto↓
 I put up my sign on the kitchen door↓
I looked in the magazine that came today.
 I moan at paying £10 for paint↓
We caught up with Louis programmes on Netflix.
First up was:
 Louis Theroux in Philadelphia:
 followed by

The temperature has gone down now.
I had to sleep under the duvet and not on top of it. 
More Sunday Fun tomorrow....

Welcome To Mum's Singing Party!

I believe in large families.Everyone should have at least three husbands - Zsa Zsa Gabor
At last it's arrived!🎈🎈🎈
The sun is coming up!
 Enjoying a cup of tea in bed↓
 I gave hubby a sloppy 💋 before he left the house.
Now to get up our kids.
We have to visit town for some bits!
 
 I had to nip to the man's cave again to pick up my paint order↓
 At least there was another woman in there!
Now off to town we go....
 The view from Car Park 4↑↑
My youngest son went off to get his haircut.
While in town, I met so many people to chat to!
One of co-worker who used to work with me at Fawlty towers, I bumped into in Barclays Bank.
Chatted with her for 10 minutes.
On the way to the market,
I chatted with one of the Labour Councillors.
While getting some food off the market,
I bumped into a friend who I haven't seen in 12 months.
Good chat for 6 months.
While my kids were choosing some food off the stall.
Some great tunes came on,
I just had to sing-a-long very loudly...
"Mum,it's not a singing contest!" One son said.
"No son, it's mum's singing party!" I laughed!
On the way back to the car, I bumped into another friend I used to work with.
We just missed out on paying £2.50 by five minutes in the car park.
 My son a pic of a nice car we when we were leaving the car park↓
 There was a nice song I just had to put on repeat on the way home...
Lots of tuts after the third time from my kids ;)
At least is not too hot↓
 
 Light lunch↓
 A read of the newspaper↓
 All the lovely stuff I bought from town↓
 My postman had to come back with my Bodyshop order, as he forgot the first time he gave us the post.
 I finally got paid, a day late \o/
Off to work I go.
 I came back to have a sucky↓
 My gerbils asleep↓
 Then we went out so my kids to do some boxing practice↓
 At least the temperature went down when we got back↓
 After tea,I was waiting for my younger brother to come round, as I bought a nice kitchen unit and I needed to pay him to pick it up for me...
He couldn't come round in the end.
I had left it too late to go and do my other job.
(That will be done over the weekend instead)
Now to drag a tired hubby to bed,
To enjoy some Friday Feeling 🎈🎈🎈
