Digging Up The Past!

Im eighteen years behind on my ironing. There's no use it now, it doesn't fit anyone I know - Phyllis Diller
Welcome to my Saturday 📦📦
Nice warm hug with a brew.
Breakfast.
Dressed.
Out to get the newspaper.
Gets back and puts on the coffee machine.
Starts to get the ladders ready.
Cup of coffee to have before we start.
Now to sort out things for the tip or storage unit.
One trip to the storage unit.
Then a trip down to the tip.
Lunchtime.
Then back on it.
Another trip to the Storage Unit.
Slowly filling it up...
Then it's final trip down to the tip.
I meanwhile got the beef stew made and put in the oven...
The trusty casserole dish came out...
Dished it up when it ready.
Beef stew with leaks and green beans.
I found some old pictures of me....
Found a picture of me from 1998 with an old boyfriend called Paul.
The next photo is off two women who I used to go with to a Single Parent's Club in the late 90s.
Jackie on the left.
Ann on the right.
Next photo was me at my Birthday Party in Brannigans, in Birmingham with my good mate Harry↓
I even found a 18th Birthday card, from the staff of Poundstretchers with a £7 record token↓
I also have got all my Misty Annuals...↓
Time to get some more Magic Bags.
On the way to get the final Magic Bag,
Some one was in the wrong lane and swerved in front of me...
Nearly took my car out!
Was glad to get back home after that!
My father-in-law is having some of the above.
Out comes the Sleep Tea.
Watching series 20 of Hell's Kitchen.
Quick look into today's newspaper.

Welcome to my Friday Feeling 🎈
Nice big hug for Friday 🎈
Brew with breakfast.
Dressed.
It forcasted rain for this morning.
So on went the sexy lumo trousers.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋before I left the house.
I got my waterproof clothes on....
I put my lights on...
Now for the fun to start..🎈
Some cars were failing to stop,
But on the flip side, some had to press their brakes very quickly when my stick got lowered.
The Mystery blue Skoda came out of the road up the road and turned right.....
Mmmm blue 20 plate Skoda.....I am still keeping my eye for it!
The sun came out, I'm glad it didn't turn out too warm, would have been well hot under the collar!
Finished in one piece.
I collected the newspaper on the way home.
I put the coffee machine on...
I sorted out tonight's tea,
All ready to put on later on...
I wrote yesterday's blog post up to lunch.
It is supposed to be sunny but chilly.
Time to leave the house....
I chattered with my friend until I started work.
Let the fun start again...🎈
Most car drivers did behave themselves.
Especially when I lowered the stick down.
A quieter Friday than normal!
Finished in one piece.
Back home.
Time to put on the tea for later...
Hubby came home for a sloppy wet 💋
Dishing up the nice tea...
Faggots with Mash, and onion gravy.
Hubby goes off to do the food shopping with younger son.
I have a quick look in today's newspaper.
