Hubby went out to collect some items I bought...

When I got it, out came the material.

I ordered some bits to finish it off.

Lets see if the lights work in the Living Room window...

Let's see if the Bakery is open...

Now to see what the lights look like outside, now it's dark!

Now a little treat for all the hard work we have done over the weekend!

Everyone then was getting all their things ready for school and work...

I carried on watching Hell's Kitchen...

With my Sleep Tea↓

We caught up with Friday's episode of

Mae West  was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades. She was known for her lighthearted, bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence, and often used a husky contralto voice. She was active in vaudeville and on stage in New York City before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry.

West was one of the most controversial movie stars of her day; she encountered many problems, especially censorship. She once quipped, "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.She died on this day aged 87 in 1980.

Now to enjoy this Christmas Decorations for nearly 6 weeks!

With look at today's newspaper.

Wrote out today's shopping list.

Light lunch.

One episode of Hell's Kitchen Season 10.

Now to clean out the pantry.....

All the shelves had to be sprayed.

As well as the crates....

In the corner, we had a rat chew through the ceiling of the pantry....

So we blocked it.

The red plastic wrap that covers the shelves is a godsend.Easy to clean.

Once all cleaned.

Crates go back in...

Hubby was ready to go and get the shopping in with younger son.

I meanwhile, had yesterday's blog to write and get the evening meal done.

I cooked the chopped beef in Bitter in the pan before putting it in the pie.

Once pie was made, in the oven it went!

Hubby meanwhile sent me a picture of the toilet rolls in Lidl again!

At least they have got my favourite toilet rolls still in!

Shea Butter!

Once hubby comes back, with the shopping, and younger son takes neighbour's shopping around to him...

Time for pie!

Beef and Mushroom Pie.

More episodes of Hell's Kitchen to watch!

With some Sleep tea.

We had a sort of early night.....;)

Hubby fetches my newspaper from the shop.

I give him a sloppy wet one 💋 before he goes to work.

One son has a sloppy one before he leaves for school too.

I tidy up the Living room.

Make sure all the houseplants are still alive.

The remaining ones that gets watered.

One plant had to be given the last rites before it want in to the composter.

At least there is room for some Christmas things that can be finally seen!

I found my Christmas House which lights up.

Lunchtime...

With a dash of Hell's Kitchen season 9.

My curtain pole arrived.

The man delivering it, wasn't a happy bunny...

(Had a job finding me probably....)

The sooner I put up those red  frilly lacey knickers on the street lamp outside, the better.

One son put the pole up.

Forgot to add the curtain rings to it...

The other son then took it down, added the curtain rings, added the curtain I made to it.

Oh dear, the curtain is too small for the window...

2 inches each side......

That put me a bad mood....

Tea at 3 time...

I was going to fit some lining to more curtains,

But I didn't feel like it!

I put the tea in the oven ready for later...

Hubby comes home and has a nice sloppy wet one!

Dished up the fish tea...

Back to season 9....

I had my Sleep Tea↓

I stopped up for one more episode.

Then I went straight to sleep when I went to bed......
