Fancy A Picture?

Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act - Truman Capote 

 Welcome to my Hump of the week🐫

I had a much needed hug and brew to start the day!

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Got the kids up for school.

Gave everyone wet sloppy 💋💋💋.

No big big sunglasses as the sun was hiding behind the clouds.

It was still cold with the breeze.

Takes a picture of the tree while waiting to turn on my lights.

I wore my summer coat.

(I had my thermals on underneath the next 3 layers!)

My winter hat,

My gloves.

The only thing I forgot was my scarf!

My boss came down to see how I was doing.

She said I was brave wearing the summer coat.

I did tell her I have thermals on underneath!

She was happy and left me to do the final 10 minutes on my own. 

Once I finished.

I had to nip into Lidl for supplies.

I parked in the car park....

STALKER ALERT!

A man parked opposite had the eyes for me.

Watching everything I was doing.

I thought 

"Fancy a Picture?

It will last longer!"

I walked straight over to him.....

The very last minutes I veered left and carried on into Lidl.

I got all the bits I needed.

The Stalker had left by the time I got back to Sexy Beast. 

I goes and gets my neighbour's mag and my newspaper.

Still two cars of my brother parked on my dad's drive.

(Won't be long now until he has to move them!)

Gets back home.

Once I have the first coffee of the day.

I read our local newspaper on-line.

The man who was my late dad's best man at his wedding has passed away.

He gave a speech at my dad's funeral last March.

I will get a card for his family from us.

I had washed all the cloths from the past 2 days.

Time to hang them on the line! 

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Just finished in time for lunch.

Someone posted some leaflets through the letterbox.

Whoever delivered them were parked over my driveway!!!

This is the first time in years the Tory party has posted anything through our door....

Pity it's gone in the recycle bin...

My tabards I ordered had arrived.

It is still a bit chilly...

When I left to go to do the afternoon Lollipop Job.

One white van stopped at the top of the road.

Another van was reversing down, not looking in his left mirror, I had to go on the pavement or he would have hit me!!!!

The winter hat goes back on, the jumper stops on under the Summer Coat.....

The breeze is making it feel really cold.

My good friend turned up and we had a good catch up afterwards.

Back home to put the tea in the oven.

Quick look in today's newspaper.

Now to wear one of the new tabards.

Nice cosy fit, fits all my gloves, facemasks, car keys, phone and a can of air freshener. 

Still having no vacuum cleaner this week at work

I will have to take my Henry Hoover to the house clean on Friday..... 

Now to avoid the traffic...

Off to work I go.
 I sorts all I need to do my shift.

I signs in.

Getting postive feedback on using the Toilet Duck!

No sign of the Supervisor again.

(ill, holiday or left????)

I did the whole hog of cleaning the toilets.

Mirrors cleaned, checked for empty toilet rolls, and cleaning the sets of toilets.

Finished on time.

Back home.

Tea time!

I checked the weather for tomorrow...

Big big sunglasses time :)

Hubby doesn't want me to take the Sunday 8 hours cleaning job...

If things get worst, I will have no choice and do it!

Sleep Tea in bed.

Glad to see the sun back tomorrow 😎

 

 


 

Getting The Chance To......

Welcome to my Tuesday 👉

I was glad of a warm hug with brew,

as I was still tried from yesterday!

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I got the kids up for school.

Gave eveyone their sloppy wet 💋💋💋 from me before I left the house.

Big big sunglasses back on again.

The covid-19 vaccine jabs were being given out in the hall, I still parked in the car park.

(I have permission while I do my Lollipop job)

I took off two layers before putting on my winter coat.

The sun was back out. 

I had some cars having to break sharply for me on the other side of the road!

I survived!

I popped in on the way home to pick up the newspaper.

I was asked "If I was going for a interview?"

(As I was wearing my red summer dress.)

"No, it is easy to wear and I won't get too hot wearing my winter lollipop coat, but as it's hot this afternoon, I might have to wear hardly nothing under my summer coat!" I replied.

They all laughed to that!

Back home

Coffee first...

Now to catch up with the blog...

Someone phoned about a job I went for.

This is a 8 hour cleaning job on Sundays

(6.30 -2.30pm)

I asked if you get a dinner break in it,

He will phone me back next week.

I wrote and published Sunday and Monday.

(I will write Saturday's in the next few days)

Just in time for lunch!

Once I had finished lunch.

I put the tea in the oven for later.

The sun is still shining :)

I left early to try and park in the Public Car Park, only to find it full!

I parked in the other car park.

(Where I parked in this morning)

The summer coat came out again :) 

I was sat on the bench before I started.

I chatted to some of the parents.

One parent said hi to me, I said hi back.

While doing my Lollipop job, the same parent didn't want to cross with me, instead she dragged her child over further up the road in front of moving traffic!

When I finished and going back to my car, the children in red uniform were suddenly coming out of school......

Back home to enjoy a lovely ice-cream

Quick look in the newspaper

Leslie  Phillips CBE  is an English actor. He achieved prominence in the 1950s, often playing smooth, upper-class comic roles utilising his "Ding Dong" and "He-llo" catchphrases. He appeared in the Carry On and Doctor in the House film series as well as the long-running BBC radio comedy series The Navy Lark. In his later career, Phillips took on dramatic roles including providing the voice for the Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter films. 

He is 97 years old 🎈

Alfred Hawthorne "Benny" Hill  was an English comedian, actor, singer and writer, best remembered for his television programme The Benny Hill Show, an amalgam of slapstick, burlesque, and double entendre in a format that included live comedy and filmed segments, with Hill at the focus of almost every segment.

Hill was a prominent figure in British culture for nearly four decades. His show proved to be one of the great success stories of television comedy and was among the most-watched programmes in the UK, with the audience peaking at more than 21 million in 1971. The Benny Hill Show was also exported to half the countries around the world. In 2006, Hill was voted by the British public number 17 in ITV‘s poll of TV's 50 Greatest Stars.

He sadly died aged 68 in 1992.

Now off to work..

(Hoping it's a bit better than yesterday!)

On the way, I get stuck behind a 2002 green Audi going 20 m.p.h in a 50 speed limit zone

There suddenly developed a convoy behind me.

There was no way to overtake it, so for a short while we all had to do 20 m.p.h!

I gets in a bit early to sort out my cleaning trolley.

I make sure I have enough cloths, bin bags, so I don't have to keep going to the Cleaner's Cupboard.

I had people look at the clock when I signed in.

"Just sorting out my trolley,"I replied.

They asked "Why I walked from the basement to the first floor? And didn't use the lift..."

"I do use the lift, but I fancied the walk!"I replied.

It looks like the Supervisor isn't in today.

I thought I might be able to borrow her vacuum cleaner to do some hoovering....

No Chance!

Someone was covering her shift and the vacuum was being used!

(I was told I was getting another vacuum on Thursday,

Nothing on whether I was was being paid for working over yesterday!)

As I was cleaning the handrail from the top floor to the basement, I was told I was the first to be seen do it as no one else did it!

I cleaned all the toilets on 3 floors. I made time to do the hoovering when I get vacuum.

For the third time, I was told the stairs don't need to be hoovered everyday.....!

It would be nice to get a chance to hoover something!

No sun going down tonight!

No late finish tonight. 

Gets home in the daylight!

The blue tarbards are due to be delivered tomorrow. I doubt I will get the money back for buying them....:(

I have a nice chicken tea.

I caught up with the days goings on with hubby.

I was getting tired at this point.

I enjoyed my sleep tea in bed.

The thermal vest might have to stay on tomorrow, as it is 10c cooler tomorrow...

No sweaty hump to worry about 🐫 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 


 

The Yellow Peril Is Back!

 Money can't buy you friends but you get a better class of enemy - Spike Milligan

Welcome aboard my Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡

I actually get up before the alarm clock!

Makes hubby and me a cup of brew.

While I get dressed,

He makes the breakfast.

I wake both kids for school.

 Sloppy wet 💋 for everyone before I leave.

Big big sunglasses come on!

It was still a bit too cold for the summer coat to come on, I still had to strip off two layers as I was getting warm in my winter coat!

Now for the trusty Lollipop stick to use!

Waiting to turn on my lights...

I turn on my lights and walk down to start.

Only to see a lorry blocking one side of the road and blocking my view of cars coming!

He left after 10 minutes.

Car drivers had to get used to me swinging my Lollypop stick to get them to stop.

A few drivers failed....

I just rolled my eyes....

The parents were glad to see my back!

I was getting really warm in winter coat!

The Summer one is being worn in the afternoon!

I finished in one piece.

Time to get home to get changed!

Gets changed,

Quick coffee & apple.

Off to do new job.

Chat, coffee and clean.

No hoover was dropped off,

No hoovering could be done!

Once finished,

Back home.

I got changed again.

Coffee and lunch.

The washing machine finished.

All the cleaning cloths and my tarbard were hung on the line to dry.

Part 2 of Lollipop to do.

Sun is shining!

Summer coat and hat gets put on!

99% of car drivers were stopping.

The 1% kept going under my stick!

Finished in one piece.

Back home to get changed for the next new job.

I packed plenty of gloves and facemasks.

Off I went...

Oh dear here we go again.

I was stuck behind a tractor and waiting for the lines on the road to be in my favour.

The blue merc behind me tried to be smart and overtake me and the tractor in one go....

I overtook the tractor, he then did the same and overtook me.

He was still speeding past the Speed Camera.

I found like I was in the movie, Independence Day.

 My side of the road was clear, the other side of the road travelling back to Redditch was rammed.

Get to the work place.

I had introduction to the job...

Here goes:

The 30p extra an hour I was promised at the job interview last Thursday isn't going to happen!

The Supervisor is going to show me the ropes and help me.....

The previous cleaner didn't put receipts in for her cleaning stuff like I did!

(I'm not paying out of own pocket for things, but it's turning out like it for the evening job!)

What he showed me on their booklet about the different colours of things was just bullshit.

No different colour gloves...

The gloves they did, didn't fit my hands.

(Good job I bought my own)

There is only one red mop,

No green or blue mop.

The Supervisor showed me the moveable trolley.

She only gave me 3 cloths.

I set to work.

Oh dear, not enough black bags...

Back to the cleaning cupboard.

I grabbed more cloths as I am not using just one cloth to clean 9 sets of toilets!

The Henry Hoover vac they gave me to use.

 Oh dear.

Wrong lid

(It fails to latch to the body of Henry)

Then it wouldn't suck nothing.

Plus the vac bags they said would fit, didn't! 

My time of 7.30pm had long gone.

The Supervisor said goodbye and left me to carry on at 8pm.

I watched the sun going down...

In the end I had to borrow her hoover to finish the stairs.

I used the lift for the final time to put my cleaning trolley in the cleaner's cupboard.

Once I finished it was 8.40pm!

Texted hubby to put my tea in the oven.

At least it was quiet on the road when I got home and yes it was dark!

I had a lovely stir fry for my late tea.

I sent a email to the man who interviewed me, asking if I am going to paid for going over my time?

I will see what he says to that!

I just had a quick look at today's newspaper.

I was too tired to read it...

I was that tired, I didn't even want a sleep tea!

Straight out like a light!
