Going Back For A Lot More.....

Excess on occasion is exhilarating.It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit - W Somerset Maugham

Welcome back to the Friday Feeling 👯

Brew with warm hug.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Hubby got my newspaper for me.

I gave him a sloppy wet 💋 before he went to work.

I gave another sloppy 💋 to one son.

The other son has to put up with me watching Top of the Pops from 1990 while I was peeling the spuds...↓

Next episode↓

(I have this on 12 picture disc shaped like a flower!) 

(I bought all the singles including this one off their Doubt album)

I mashed up the potatoes for later.

Now to finish the sewing table I bought last week...

Pom Pom trim and Brush Fringe trim arrived to be put on now.

Catching up with some Sixties music

Now for a light lunch...

With a bit of Hell's Kitchen.

Read the newspaper..

 Eddie Rabbitt was an American country music singer and songwriter. His career began as a songwriter in the late 1960s, springboarding to a recording career after composing hits such as "Kentucky Rain" for Elvis Presley in 1970 and "Pure Love" for Ronnie Milsap in 1974. Later in the 1970s, Rabbitt helped to develop the crossover-influenced sound of country music prevalent in the 1980s with such hits as "Suspicions", "I Love a Rainy Night" (a number-one hit single on the Billboard Hot 100), and "Every Which Way but Loose" (the theme from the film of the same title). His duets "Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)" with Juice Newton and "You and I" with Crystal Gayle later appeared on the soap operas Days of Our Lives and All My Children.

He would have been 79 years old 🎈

He died aged 56 in 1998.

With a much needed cup of coffee.

 I got the blog post wrote from yesterday done.

I finished inside of the Sewing Table.

This is what it looked like before:

Now it looks like:

Just need to vanish the lid..and finished.

Gave hubby a wet 💋 when he came back.

I went up to Lidl to see if they had the balti pan which was on offer...

They didn't have one in, will try again tomorrow.

Gets back and has tea.

Back onto Hell's Kitchen season 11.

I finally found the sleep stray I bought...

as running low on the Avon one..↓

Sleep Tea time!

Now to enjoy the last of the Friday Feeling 🎈

Welcome to my Thursday😒

Hug with Brew.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Nice and cold out there....

Hubby went and got my newspaper.

Before he left for work, I gave him a wet sloppy 💋.

All the kids had the same 💋💋

My lollipop boss paid a visit.

(See how I'm doing and the knee!)

Nice Xmas cards, hand gel, and facemasks.

I thanked her for coming round.

Put on the dishwasher. 

Now to write up 2 blog posts!

(Best luck with that I thought.)

First I had a snotty email from my late dad's Solicitor, stating that his bank hasn't closed his bank account down yet!

(Her fault for not sending off the form, I might add)

The bank will send the amount by cheque to her and then will have to wait 10 days for it to clear!

(Really, 5 working days normally)

Plus the amount she does have won't be released due her paying some "bills".....

So I can forget about seeing any funds until least February, the way the snail works!

The amount that my younger brother gave her after selling most of my late dad's stuff on ebay wasn't included in the figure.

I am suspecting he has been paid for the invoice he put in for doing a bit of painting in my dad's house

(£1,200)

The other Prodical brother has probably been paid also for the invoice he put in too.

(£3,200)

I phoned up younger brother, about what the email from the Solictor said.

 Ended up in a shouting match, and as everyone else has been putting invoices in, why can't I put the invoice for the skip I bought during lockdown? 

For all the stuff of my late dad's that I couldn't even give away! 

He would have took it away for the same price of the skip!

No brotherly love there then!

Considering he dumped it here, and disappeared into the distance!

I sent the Solictor the invoice and she will send me the cheque for the skip.

Younger brother went off on one then!

Calling me money obsessed and breaking  up the family for money!

This is the one, who wanted 48 hours notice to come round and put our dad to bed!

Pot calling the Kettle black comes to mind! 

I needed a early lunch after that!

With↓

After lunch and I had calmed down.

I carried on finishing writing my blog posts.

My children came home from school.

Telling them about the earlier conversation with my younger brother..

One said, "Mum, have you just realised that he is a arsehole?"

I laughed at that one.

I had some quiet time and caught up with all the newspapers from last Saturday.

Interesting reading.

Now to read todays!

 Norman Milne, known professionally as Michael Holliday was a British singer, who was popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He had a number of chart hits in the UK, including two number one singles, "The Story of My Life" and "Starry Eyed"

He would have been 96 years old 🎈

He sadly died aged 38 in 1963 

Last night I was watching a Council Planning on You Tube to see if Lidl's can build a new branch in Redditch.

I won't be able to get my hour back for watching it!

I gave hubby a wet sloppy 💋 when he returned  from work.

Tea Time.
