I Only Went In To Get One Plant!

 Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before  -  Mae West.
Welcome to my busy Saturday ⚘

We caught the last hour of Sound of the 60s.

We popped into  Omega for a chat and a coffee.
We nipped into Boomarang and got two bargains.

We blew up the balloons to put on my dad's grave for Father's Day.
(It will be a nice surprise for brother's went they come up tomorrow to see him!)
Puts them on my dad's grave.
All ready for tomorrow.
At least it brightens up the grave yard!
Back home for a light lunch in the garden.
Then we went to pick up our son from work.
We carried onto Homebase in Bromsgrove.
Compost, reduced plants and pots....
Loads of bargains.
I told one woman while we were pushing the trollies back to the car;
"I only went into the store to get one plant!"
As the kids and hubby loaded up his car full of plants. I carried on talking and they went home to unload the car.
I was still talking when he came back.
(Nearly an hour later, I said goodbye to the woman, who I had never met until today!)
Off to Aldi to get a drink, my throat was all dry from all that talking!
Anyone fancy a mince pie in June?
Nice drink and nibble↓
We got home to unload our bargains.
Next to visit Co-Op for some more bargains.
Lots of things I can cook with on the reduced stand.
Back home to unpack.
Now to use some of the compost up to replant the plants I bought earlier....
Time to use those Diffusers I bought from Aldi↓
Now for a nice bit of tea.
Now to catch up with 4 weeks of Top of The Pops from 1991.

An Ambulance was coming up the High Street.
Once car was in front of it and was not pulling over to let the ambulance through.

For the third time in 2 months I had to phone the Tax Office up about the tax took from my wages!
They were banging their head as well me over this. They gave me the number for Acas.
I phoned Acas. They were very interesting in this.
They told me what to do, which I did in a email to the boss of the Cleaning Firm.
Speaking of the cleaning Firm in question.
The House job I used to do on Monday and Friday has been readvertised.......
Then the Cleaning Boss I saw yesterday kept emailing me on what hours I did at the house this month..... email after email. I am having more contact with him than when I was actually working for him!!!!
Except the certain Monday when I pressed his Button!
