Mobile Disco Without The Disco Balls!

 The English really aren't interested in talking to you unless you've been to school or to bed with them - Lady Nancy Keith 
Welcome to Friday Feeling 🎈
Hugs with brew.
Breakfast.
As I'm not going to lollipop job today, I wasn't in a rush, everyone else..
Gets the kids up ready for school.
I give hubby a sloppy wet 💋
It is the youngest son's day at school.
He took a shirt in to be signed by everyone.
(He is back in the Sixth Form in September)
I give him a sloppy wet 💋 when he left.
I jumped into the hot shower.
Dressed.
Coffee time!
I put Henry the Hoover into Sexy Beast.
The garden is surviving well in this wet weather!
(The grass is going to cut this weekend!)
Off I go to clean.
Everyone was out except the dog.
Cleans, coffee and then at the end plays with dog in the garden....:)
Back home.
My youngest son was home from school.
Finished early and that's it!
He is going back next month for a week to try out Sixth Form.
Light lunch...
I caught up with writing yesterday's blog post.
Finally can have Tea at 3.
Put's everyone's tea in the oven for later.
Get's things ready for work.
Another coffee with crumpets
Then it's back out for job with some Big 60s songs to sing along with...
I had silver BMW sat on the arse of Sexy Beast all the way to work.
I loads up the Skip.
Signs in.
"You still here?" I was asked.
"Holding on via my finger tips,"I replied.
Now for the disco to start...
A film crew is going to be in the car park tomorrow filming finding of body in a unlucky number car parking space for a TV series.
I happened to be standing in the car parking space they will be filming tomorrow↓↓↓
Finished on time.
Time for singalong to start again.
The fun I had getting home.
People blocking the road by parking outside the local supermarket. Traffic was overtaking them, and we were stuck until the road was clear! Then someone in a red Swift parks on double yellow lines and we can't get past as traffic was coming towards us!
I have gold top coloured Mokka follow me all the way doing 50mph, if he had a problem doing 50 mph, he should have overtook me, he had his chances!
Finally gets home!
Nice to have a big warm hug off hubby!
Cottage Pie for tea.
(I was too hungry to take a pic of it!)
We watched Have I Got News For You.
Really funny.
I had a quick look into today's newspaper.
Sandra  Anderson , professionally known as Sondra Locke, was an American actress and director.

She went on to star in such hit films as Willard, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Gauntlet, Every Which Way but Loose, Bronco Billy, Any Which Way You Can and Sudden Impact. She worked often with Clint Eastwood, who was her companion for 14 years. She also directed four films, notably Impulse. Locke's autobiography, The Good, the Bad, and the Very Ugly: A Hollywood Journey, was published in 1997. 
She would have been 77 years old 🎈

Audie  Murphy  was an American soldier, actor, songwriter, and rancher. He was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. He received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism.

After the war, Murphy embarked on a 21-year acting career. He played himself in the 1955 autobiographical film To Hell and Back, based on his 1949 memoirs of the same name, but most of his roles were in westerns.

Showing A Bit Of Leg!

If you haven't got anything good to say about anyone come sit by me - Alice Roosevelt Longworth
Welcome to my Thursday 😎
Brew and hug to start the day!
Breakfast.
Dressed.
I got kids up ready for school.
Then gave out some sloppy wet 💋💋💋
The sun is back at last!
Those big big sunglasses have to be worn now :)
Nice start to the morning shift, of seeing the sun.
Summer coat goes on.
Tree shot. 
Now for the fun to start.
It was getting quite busy.
Didn't help my car drivers not stopping the other side of the road.
On parent shouted at a car and it stopped for her!
Everyone was wishing me a good week's holiday for next week!
The lambo came down the road shortly before I finished.
I finished in one piece.
On the way home, I let a tractor turn left in front of me.
Then the tractor stalled causing a bit of tailback.
Once it got going I was behind it for a bit, two cars behind me couldn't wait and overtook us on a blind bend!
I made sure nothing was coming the otherway when I overtook the tractor. 
Gets to put some fuel in Sexy Beast. 
I let a small flat back truck go first to fill up, then I couldn't go past it to get to the pump.
Once it had moved up, then I could get past it.
So much for good deeds! 
I gets the newspaper on the way home. 
I empty all the bins in the house.
While having coffee, writing yesterday's blog post, I was phoning up the tax office again.
The employer should repay the tax took from last month's pay not the tax office. I am not earning enough to pay tax, so why I have been took £14 this month????
If the employer won't cough it up, the tax office said I would have to wait for the end of the tax year to have it back!
Get's blog posts wrote.
Now for a easy lunch
I had some good news.
As the first schools I cover for my lollipop job are closed tomorrow, I am not needed!
So for the last time this week, it's time to do the lollipop job.
I just found somewhere to park near my lollipop job.
I nipped into the Charity Shop and got some Royal Worcester-Evesham casserole dishes with lids
(My late mum gave me her Royal Worcester-Evesham collection)
&
My early Christmas present from my hubby.
The sun was shining, but those clouds were coming over!
My leggings had shrunk in the wash.
So I was showing off a bit of leg before I started!
One Ferrari Sports car came down the road at speed, until I stuck out my lollipop stick and it stopped.
Some car drivers didn't like having to wait longer than normal for me to cross people over.
I could hear the gums going... 
Finished in one piece.
Walked back to Sexy Beast with my friend. 
I said "See you next month!"
Off I went home.
Took out all my lollipop stuff.
Sexy Beast is now a lot lighter!
I had a much needed coffee...
Then it's back out for a 60s singalong.
There was a lot of traffic around on the way to work.
I gets in.
Loads up the skip with everything I need.
I was asked "Am I was leaving?"
I replied,"I will find out next month,but as no one is answering my emails when I have a question for the bosses, I will have to wait for the P45!"
It looks like I can't win, I either put too much toilet cleaner in or not enough!
Finished on time.
Back to singing along on the way home!
Back home.
Nice big hug off hubby.
Tea time.
Quick look into today's newspaper.

"Are You Going To Have A Certificate For That???"

 The first rule of business is: do other men for they would do you - 
Charles Dickens
Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Nice big hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Get's kids up for school.
Then I pass about those wet sloppy 💋💋💋 to everyone.
Now to leave the house...
It was just cloudy.
No need for the big sunglasses so far...
I still put on my summer coat.
Tree Pic.
While I was waiting to put on my lights.
The lambo went past \o/
I got chatting to one of my old customers from the days of delivering his mail.
Now for the fun of Hump Day!
One while car failed to stop on the otherside of the road, I nearly clipped her windscreen.
She just looked back at me as she went past!
Once the bus stopped to drop off its passengers, a red sporty car overtook the bus, and had to slam its brakes on as I was in the middle of the road, crossing people over.
I heard the engine being revved up behind me!
People had to test the brakes coming up the road, as I was in the middle of the road!
I was glad to finish in one piece!
I gets home and forgets to get the newspaper and magazine.
Out and again gets it.
Then I got on with preparing the chicken casserole for tonight....
That was put in the oven for later.
Much needed coffee now.
I wrote 2 blog posts up to dinner time.
Now for a light lunch!
I had my wage slip from my Cleaning job.
Surprise, Surprise, no tax refunded from last month, and they even took £14 tax this month!
(I don't earn enough to pay tax!)
Phone call to the tax office tomorrow I think!
Back out to do the afternoon stint..
I managed to find a space near my Lollipop space.
The zip on my bum bag broke!
Great
I hope this afternoon is going to be lot better than this morning....
I lowered my lollipop stick down.
One BMW had 2 options,
Go or lose windscreen.
It was eye to eye contact when he stopped short of having his windscreen cracked!
One car stopped in the Keep Clear space, so I stood in front of her!
I was glad to get finished! 
While I was chatting to my friend, the lock keyring broke off my car keys....
Great! 
I said goodbye to my friend and back home I went.
Coffee and cupcake my son made at school.

Back out with some 60s tunes to singalong with:
I have white Land Rover following me,
trying to make me go faster than I should.
I take it, he doesn't like to do under 50mph?
I gets into work.
Fixes the hose to the vacuum cleaner.
Empty the bag and add a new bag.
Gives the filter a clean.
Adds it to the skip.
Gets 26 toilets cleaned.
Now to hoover 4 flights of stairs from top to bottom...
Finished off by using my blue mop to mop the floor at the bottom.
I was left a message in the Cleaning Comments book, "I need to see how much Toilet Cleaner you are using in the toilet!"
I wrote my reply:"Looking forward to it, Alas I won't be here much longer :("
One of the other cleaners replied to the comment on how much needs to go in the toilet:
"Are you going to have a certificate afterwards?"
Back to singing on the way home:
Gets home.
The casserole looked nice when it came out of the oven.
It didn't even touch the sides it was that nice!
Quick look in the today's newspaper.
