So Many Doing Bad Parking Today!

I'm a minor player in my own life story - Tony Wilson
 Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫
Warm hug to start Hump Day with.
Brew with breakfast.
It was still dark when I opened the curtains.
(But it remain dry I hope)
Dressed.
I gave hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹when I left.
I went the other way to work as due to the Traffic lights at the bottom of the road.
I had 4 layers on under my Summer Coat.
Now to turn on my lights...
Let the fun start....🍭
Two van decided to park on the double yellow lines opposite. Causing problems with the traffic and for me!
Plus cars were leaving it late using their brake pedal!
One flat bed lorry failed to stop and nearly hit the traffic lights in the back of his lorry as he went past!
"Boing!"
One lorry driver put his hand up as his went past me, while I had my stick up in the air!
At least I finished one piece!
No rabbiting either!
I nipped into Morrisons to get a few things...
Singing along with Michael McDonald while going around the aisles.
Some good Dvds....↓
&
A great Cd↓
Got my bits and bobs.
I picked up my neighbour's magazine and newspaper on the way home.
Oh dear, lorry over the drive yet again...
I parked over the road and refused to move!
The lorry driver moved so I could get on my drive.
He then parked opposite my drive...
So why couldn't do that in the first place!
I puts on my coffee machine.
I go round and give my neighbour his magazine and a bit of chat.
When I come back,
Coffee time!
Then I wrote yesterday's blog post up to lunch.
Light lunch 
Then it was time for part two.
I took off one layer of clothing.
I put on  the Summer coat.
Put on my lights.
Then had a good rabbit with my two friends.
Then I had a disagreement with hubby via text message.....over laddergate from last night!
Then it was time to start the afternoon shift 🍭
Cars drivers were actually stopping for once!
(That's even lowering the stick down either!)
Finished in one piece.
Now back home.
Jacket potatoes were put in the oven.
Now to take out all my stress with my sewing machine!
Two more draught excluders made..
Hubby came home, said sorry for last night.
I gave him a big warm bearhug and a big sloppy wet πŸ’‹
The males of the family had beans on jacket potato.
I had salad on mine.
With a much needed brew!
While hubby and son went to the Storage Unit to collect more stuff to put in the loft.
I quickly looked in today's newspaper!

It Can Never Be Big Enough!

 Marriage is a wonderful invention; but, then again, so is a bicycle repair kit - Billy Connolly
Welcome to my Tuesday πŸ’₯
Nice big hug to start Tuesday with.
Brew with breakfast.
Dressed.
It was looking dry outside...still a bit cold...
Gave hubby a sloppy wet πŸ’‹ before I left.
I have to go a different way due to traffic lights at the bottom of the road, causing bedlam!
I put on my Summer Coat..
(with four layers underneath)
I put on my lights..
Now for the fun to start...🍭
The first child I crossed over...
Ran over, and  nearly tripped over 
(Where the cross is in the picture)
He nearly landed in the middle of the road!
He steadied himself just in time.
Now for the fun of stopping cars....
A lot of cars went under my stick.
I lowered my stick to their face level and they stopped. One car was racing up the road and was met with a loud bang of stick being banged down on the floor!
Just got finished and chatting to a parent about the fun she had going for a Lunch Time Supervisior as the near-by school.
They said she wasn't suitable and readvertised the job, 5 days later.
I did say I was told of the job going.
But I prefer my lunch for one and not with 300 children now!
I didn't realise the time, and I should have been sitting down at Webbs, having a coffee and chat!
Too much rabbit again!
I said my goodbyes and went off to Sexy Beast.
I got to Webbs in 25 minutes.
I had to stop Sexy Beast in a funny position as a trolley was left in the car space I wanted to get into.
Now for coffee, chat and nibble.
After coffee, it was time to not get in the mood for Christmas!
I said goodbye to my friend, and now back home for a light lunch.
My new loft ladder had been delivered!
That should be tall enough!
I have a light lunch.
I had to take a layer of clothing as it was getting quite warm.
It looked like rain.
On goes the winter coat!
I puts on my lights.
Chats with one friend.
My friend and his dog didn't appear.
Now to do the afternoon shift.
I lowered the stick the whole time,
Suddenly the brake pedal was being used a lot!
I finished in one piece.
On top of traffic lights at the bottom of the road.
Traffic lights have now appeared at the top of the road .....
Back home.
Once the pastry was cooked,
I added the filling and put it in the oven to cook.
More coffee needed!
Hubby comes back and has a sloppy wet πŸ’‹
He gives me today's newspaper.
He looks at the loft ladder that came early.
"It's too big, you will have to send it back!" He said.
"It's not too big, and I'm not sending it back, you were looking at the measurements before I bought it!"I replied.
On and on he went about the ladder.
I dished up the tea.
One son left his tea...
Hubby left a 1/4 of his.
The other son and me ate all of it.
Can't win!
Hubby and younger son went off to the storage unit to fetch more stuff to put back in the loft.
Hubby and sons then put it up the loft.
Then on about the ladder again.....
All I had in my ear was "Send it back!"
I pointed to the Bathroom light...
"When's this being put up?"
Hubby and one son put it up.
We now have light!
(I am meaning to source the same pink paint I used to paint the bathroom with to paint over the white bit where the old light fitting was!)
I looked into today's newspaper while someone was still on about the bloody ladder being returned!
My answer was "No it bloody isn't!"

I had a very early Sleep Tea...
