Welcome to my Sunday 💓
We had a bit of a lie-in...
Then it was nice hug to start Sunday with.
Brew with breakfast.
Dressed.
Then it was load up the car with stuff to go down the tip.
Full car, hubby went with one of our sons.

When they came back,
It was coffee time!
Now back to sorting through boxes.
Found some Woolworth's vouchers...
Once the car was loaded up,
Off to the Storage Unit , hubby and son went to.
When they came back,
It was lunchtime.
Then it was time to pick up 2 magic bags from two different branches of Morrisons.
While waiting to pick one up from the Redditch Branch. One woman was arguing over her lottery scratch card with the cashier....
A good five minutes, she still left with £5 winnings, but she is coming back later to argue that it should be doubled.....
I finally got my lucky bag!
Then we drove to the Kidderminster branch of Morrisons.
We had to wait 5 minutes for it.
Once we had it, we sorted a bag out for hubby's dad to have.
As well as 2 big slices of Where's Wally's cake for him as well.
Then we drove home to load up the remaining things to go down the tip.
I tidied up the back garden while they went there.
The Pork Joint went into the oven.
Used up the vegetables I had in my Magic Bag today.
A cat left us a present.
In the past week, he got left 2 mice and now 2 rats.
Once all the washing was dried in the tumble drier.
Time to dish up the tea.
Used up the mint sauce, as we had no Crab Apple Jelly left.
Now to go and collect two more Magic Bags.
One from M&S which was half a bag.
&
From Waitrose,which was half a bag as well.
While reading the Waitrose newspaper.
Paul Jones was in there↓
He likes drinking lots of Green Tea!
I go and have a nice refreshing shower.

Welcome to my Saturday ⌛
I didn't get up early today like any other Saturday, when I wake up at 6am!
I will catch up with Sounds of the 60s during the week on catch up.
Nice to have a warm hug with brew.
Breakfast.
Hubby is having his flu jab this morning.
Now to leave the house
Making the most of the nice weather!
The scandals come out!
First we drop off son at his work place.
Then onto town we go.
We parks in Car Park 4, as 
Car Park 7 has been knocked down!
Onto Boots for hubby's flu jab.
Once that was done, we bought the newspaper and a coffee to go.
Back home to start back on emptying the loft.
We had lunch halfway through sorting through boxes. There is a nice big pile to go to the tip tomorrow morning.
Hubby done one trip to the Storage unit with son.
When he got back, we had tea.
Then it's on the search for hubby to get some Diesel for his car.
We managed to get some from Morrisons.Then the queues started to form.
I got my first Magic Bags of the evening from Morrisons in Astwood Bank.
The staff in the Petrol Station had not experienced the demand for petrol before.
They had run out of diesel and running low on unleaded.
Told them to write a funny message and leave it out for the car drivers when they run out of unleaded!
Then onto M&S which is also a Petrol Station.
They had run out of fuel except food.
I got my Magic Bag.
Moved onto Waitrose on the motorway services.
Not a lot of queues at that petrol station.
Got my Magic Bag.
Now back home to unpack them all!
Then we watched...
Then I looked into today's newspaper.

Welcome to join in with my Friday Feeling 🎈
Nice to enjoy a warm hug
with a hot brew.
Breakfast.
Opened the curtains...
Nice sunny day ahead...
Dressed.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet 😘 before I go.
The place where I normally park wasn't open.
I parked in the nearby car park.
I put my jacket on under my Summer Coat.
Now for the Friday fun...🍭
I kept hearing Agadoo 
My phone kept ringing....
It was ex-plum.....
(As I'm on duty, I'm not allowed to answer my phone!)
I stopped the brown car that thought it was funny to try and run me over a few afternoons again.Didn't find it funny.
Then on the return leg, she got stopped again.
Some cars were going too fast, and when my stick gets lowered, the brakes have to been slammed on!
I finished in one piece.
I answered Ex-Plum with a text message with OK.
Now to get to Webbs...
I go through Hanbury....
I missed my B3 space...
Meets up with my friend for coffee,nibble and yak!
Then it's time to look around...
Christmas is coming....↑↑↑
Back to Sexy Beast....
Said goodbye to my friend.
I went past Bromsgrove Morrison's petrol station, there was a massive queue for petrol.....
I remember back in 2000 when it was like that........
Back home.
Light lunch.
My son dressed as Where is Wally comes back with some of the cake he made.
All his 6th Form Year gave him an applause when he got into school for dressing up as Where is Wally.
Now for me to leave....

On goes the Summer coat.
I get a ice lolly.
Then I put on my lights.
I collect my lollipop stick,
And enjoys the sunshine.
Now to start the afternoon shift...🍭
It wasn't as bad as last Friday afternoon, not by a long shot. Still cars braking the last minute when I either lower the stick down, or I stood in the middle of the road!
I finished in one piece.
Back home. 
I wrote yesterday's blog post.
Hubby came back with some Fish and Chips with Curry sauce!
I gave him a sloppy wet 💋
Hubby dropped off one son at his football, then carried on to the shopping with our other son.
