(I hope!)
Woke up the kids for school.

Now for some fun in the sun!
Most of the car drivers are stopping.
The lambo came down the road....
So nice to see it in the morning.
10 minutes before I finished.Two lorries blocked off the side road opposite me.
Someone had a stop and go sign and was directing traffic.
I said to him: "Does he want to swap his stop and go sign for my lollipop stick?
Traffic was backing up both sides of the road.
I was glad to finished.
I went the long way home.
Picking up the newspaper and neighbour's magazine on the way home.
Emptied all the bins in the house.
(Black bin being emptied tomorrow) 
I made a vegetable tart for tea tonight.
Used most of things we had in the wonky box from lidl last Friday.
Once that was made, it was put in the oven for later.
I then wrote 2 blog posts up to lunch.
Light lunch time.
Some of the weather reports say sunshine or rain with thunder for this afternoon.
I decided to not to wear the sexy lumo trousers for this afternoon Lollipop job....
I put on Winter coat and boots.
I turned on my lights and walked back to collect my lollipop stick from Sexy Beast when he started to pour down with rain!
Then it stopped before I was due to start.
I went to see what all the drilling and blocking off the road was for this morning...
The rain came back, pity I didn't have my sexy lumo trousers on after all!
Pity my leggings have shrunk in the wash!
 15 minutes into job and the rain stopped and blue skies with sunshine.
I was getting rather warm in the winter coat.
I'm a bit glad I didn't wear my lumo trousers after all!
As soon as I finished the winter coat was unzipped and took off!
Gets home in the sunshine!
Now for coffee, crumpets and apricot 
Then back out for some 70's singsong...
I followed a white lorry all the way to work, I kept a fair distance away from it...
I gets in, and to my surprise, there was no delivery of toilet cleaner!
Beg, borrow or steal toilet cleaner I feel!!!
Good job I bought my own!
Loaded up the skip...all ready for today's work!
One cubicle is having a run on toilet paper.....
(It must be a favourite one)
Well used the blue mop tonight!
The order has gone in the toilet cleaner, god only knows when I will see it. I might have to nip into Lidl tomorrow to get more toilet cleaner.
Finished on time.
Back in the sunshine singing along with some 70s classics...
Back home in the sunshine.
Had half of the vegetable tart I made earlier.
It was so filling, hubby is taking the rest for lunch tomorrow.
I had a quick look in the today's newspaper.
Freddie Garrity  was an English singer and actor who was the frontman and comical element in the 1960s' beat band Freddie and the Dreamers.
He died on this day in 2006 aged 69. 
Now for some Sleep Tea..
Going to be dodging the rain again tomorrow...

Whipping Them Off!

There are 350 varieties of shark, not counting loan and pool
 - L M Boyd
Welcome to my Tuesday 🐞
Nice hugs and brew to start the day!
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Woke up kids ready for school.
I gave out my sloppy wet 💋💋💋 before I left
Even the big big sunglasses had to come out!
Both sets of traffic lights have been removed \o/
The sun and blue skies are here for a bit!
I put on my summer coat.
Tree pic.
Back to normal.
The same white car fails to stop every morning....
Some cars were just driving under my lollypop stick as if I wasn't even there!
I told the mum about her daughter rushing into the road yesterday, and how I grabbed her hood.
She said, "You should have grabbed her neck!"
The lambo was back \o/
Some cars had to slam their brakes on, when I was in the middle of the road!
I finished in one piece...Just!
Back home for a quick coffee.
Then back out with my Henry...
Cleaned the house, had a chat and a nice coffee while I was there.
Just before I left the rain kept back for a short while.
Back home without the rain!
Then the rain came back ;(
So I made the decision to put on the sexy lumo trousers for the afternoon Lollypop job.
It had stopped raining when I left.
I parked Sexy Beast, to see blue skies....
Where was the rain?
That was forecasted.
I turned on my lights, had a chat with one of the parents....
It was so warm, I risked taking off the lumo trousers!
Whipped them off!
On goes the summer coat as well!
I had my leggings on under my coat.
I just hope the wind didn't get up and whip up the back of coat....
That would be scene!
Someone said be careful bending down...
I replied,"If I did, this village would go very dark!"
It stopped dry.
One learner had to break hard or my lollypop stick would have touched his windscreen!
Gets everyone over safely.
Finished in one piece.
My friend comes down and we have a chat after I finished.
We said our goodbyes and off home I went. 
Nice bit of crumpet before I left for a singalong of Glam pop.
I was lucky to have a brand new Porsche follow me all the way to work, he couldn't overtake me as cars were coming the other way.
I gets in and loads up the hoover into the skip.
It didn't help having a headache come on.
I was told someone had walked mud up the stairs. I had to hoover that up after the cleaning of the toilets. I left a urgent message saying I have 1 bottle of toilet cleaner left for today and none for tomorrow.......
Someone walked into the men's toilets before I started to clean them.
I said, "Boo!" to him.
He replied with "Boo!"
I left to do the ladies loo so he could carry on what he had to do.
I hoovered the stairs, the hoover doesn't like sucking up anything....
Plenty of blowing but no sucking!
I went over by 10 minutes.
I actually drove home in silence...
Head thumbing!
Back home.
Takes an headache pill.
Nice bit of stir fry to fill the hungry hole.
Feeling so tired.
Sleep tea time.
Quick look into the newspaper.
