He Will Be Running Out Of Time...

Two cannibals eating a clown.One says to the other,"Does this taste funny to you?" - Tommy Cooper
I had a nice big lie-in.
It involved tea, snuggles,and a 16 tog duvet!
 Hubby's mission was to put up the two curtain poles I bought yesterday.
I had a quick look at the Birthdays before I got out of bed.

 My Amazon order turned up↓
Hubby put the curtain pole up in the kitchen.
Now just waiting on for the warmer curtains to arrive (From Ebay) to put up↓
 Light lunch↓
Then he put up the curtain pole in the Living Room ;)
Then out for ride in Sexy Beast.

 

 Checked his tyres.

 Hubby sorted out the clothes out in our bedroom.
While I had a little play with Kenny!

  Once the cakes were baked in the oven.
We put our tea in the oven to cook.
Kids had their showers, and got their things ready for school.
I got my stuff ready for my jobs too.
I managed to unload, and load up the dishwasher twice so far today....
What with washing, baking, and enjoying a much deserved lie-in, will it a third time with the dishwasher????
We caught up with some episodes of 
That the ending was cut off from some episodes we had recorded off another channel off Sky or they didn't show.
*My hubby reminded my younger brother to see our dad tomorrow.*
"If Needs Must..." text message came again.
It going to get to the point, we will be seeing our dad 7 days a week and it will be 0 times for him!!
Then once our dad has gone, he will moan he didn't spend enough time with him. 
He starts with that conversation, the phone will be put down!!!!! 
It's now getting well cold at night.
Mad dash to jump into pyjamas and snuggle down under that 16 tog duvet is a MUST!
All ready to mount that Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 tomorrow...

 I enjoyed my snuggles and cup of tea.
 I wrote up yesterday blog post.
Younger son has lost interest in the Boxing session. Our other son hasn't.
So we went our separate ways...
 
 Younger son and I went to fill up Sexy Beast.
We got a few items from Morrisons.
My son commented:
"You haven't met anyone to chat today,that is a first!"
I laughed.
I enjoyed a take-away coffee.

We popped my dad's newspaper in,
Then off to B&Q for some new curtain poles.
 Nice kitchen↑
It must be a rare day of bumping into anyone to chat to! 
By the time I gets back,
Hubby and other son is back from the boxing.
We have a late lunch↓
Then out to get some more food shopping.
We gets back home to unpack the shopping.

My younger brother had tried to phone me.
I didn't answer as he was going to make excuses for not visiting his dad Monday Night...
My younger brother texted my hubby.
"IF NEEDS MUST, He will pop in on Monday to see our dad, even though he has got a small cold!"
Rolling my eyes on that text.
Off to enjoy my hubby and a warm bed...

Soon as I walked in the my local shop, I just had to sing-a-long with the song on the radio. The man who was being served, gave me the look!
I just kept singing along behind him until he left the shop..
I smiled at the sales assistant, got my newspaper, while still singing.
