Now to write yesterday's blog post.

I ordered some nice things from the Trouva website. As normal the delivery firm  can't find my house!

So every item has now got to be directed to another their pick up point. 

Waiting for the comments from the pick up point why I haven't picked them up earlier!!

The voting papers for the council elections was delivered as well.

I have to take my own pen/pencil and wear a facemask to vote.

Finished my blogpost.

Early lunch time is needed!

Goes outside for a walk up and down the path.

A book I ordered arrived \o/

I have been collecting the Prima Makes magazines.

Really good magazines.

I have issues, 1,2,3,5, and 19 arriving soon.

Tea at 3. 

Once the kids came home, they were going to deliver some leaflets for our great friend Joe.

Dropped them off.

I popped into my Doctor Surgery and there was one brave soul in there, not wearing his facemask. He forgot, what he replied when he got asked. I left very quickly wearing my facemask!

Back home.

I get the tea on the go.

Hubby comes home,

I give him a wet sloppy 💋.

He gives me one back 💋.

Now to get yesterday's blog post wrote.

The playlist was shuffled and singing helped with sense of humour I need to write the blog post. 

Just 2 posts short of 2400 published blog posts! 

Trying to find that seahorse pattern.

One was $5!!!

I finally found one!

& 

It was free!

Let's see what I can do with that!

Got in touch with my union on whether I have to change from one county to another...

Waiting for the response to it.

By time I finished writing the blog post.

I had a early lunch.

I had to click and collect some shopping from Asda.

(My son has his GCSE food assessment this Friday, so he needed more things.

He is practicing again tomorrow at home to get under the 2 hours he needs.)

Hands were washed and I wore my facemask when I collected it. I was lucky, there was only another couple there loading up their car.

I went past my late dad's house, and the driveway was still full of cars!

Back home.

Tea at 3

My magazine came, and time for a quick read of it before I start on the tea.

Another meat-free tea tonight.

Hubby came home.

He had a sloppy wet one from me.

The episode was called: No Room to Move

We downloaded the first series.

Then we watched the first episode:

Landfill In My Living Room.

Sleep tea time.

We watched half of the second episode called:

Trapped By My Trash.

Both my parents were hoarders. 

I do hoard but not to the state of not be able to get into my house!!!

As the younger brother said last year just after our dad passed away...

"We have to clear out 50 years of crap out of the house!"

Nice as normal coming from him!

He even said of my house:

"You could fill a six bedroomed house with your crap, and still need a bigger house!" 

I won't comment on his hoarding problem just yet.....😶😶 

Let's hope we have a sunny Hump tomorrow 🐫

Inbetween writing them, I was trying to find a sewing pattern to make a family of seahorses that was in one of magazines that came last week!

It didn't help the pattern wasn't on the magazine's website.....

GREAT!

I had the letter finally sealing my departure from my dinnertime job \o/

 (My Christmas card list is going down faster than a ferret going down a hole!)

I'm sure another job will surface to replace it and it won't affect my stress level!

By the time dinnertime arrived, I still have Sundays blog post to write.

Oh dear the soup exploded in the microwave,

only had 1/3 of the soup left in the bowl!

Hope the day gets better....

Tumble drier went on finally!

I carried on writing more reviews on things I bought from Amazon.
