Finally Got A Lie-In!

The one thing women don’t want to find in their stockings on Christmas morning is their husband. - Joan Rivers.

Boxing Day

Welcome to our Boxing Day 🎁

We actually had a lie-in \o/

Time for some Breakfast and Brew.

Yum!

Then we got dressed.

(I had my thermal vest on)

I had some housework to get on with.

Hubby went out for a walk and got the newspaper on the way back.

Coffee time when he got back!

Got piles of washing to do.

Looking like a Chinese Laundry!

Washing machine went on again.

The Christmas Decorations are coming down tomorrow as had a enough!

Turkey roll time!

I will make a soup with the rest of the Turkey tomorrow.

Then it was back to tidying up the house.

As Friday, we are having some things come back from my late Father-in-law's house and we got to find room for it!

After Friday, it's just my pictures and ornaments got to come back!

For tea we are having some nice cheese on crackers.

More Things To Go To!

It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others - Anon

Welcome to my Thursday 📷💥😁

Nice hug to start the day with.

Breakfast with brew.

Then it's time for the Thermal vest!

Got my bits ready.

Time to leave the house.

I gave hubby a sloppy wet one before I left.

It was nice to see the sunshine.

At least I don't have to wear those sexy lumo trousers this morning.

On goes two winter hats and gloves.

I put on my lights,

Now for the fun to start!

Some car drivers don't realise you have to stop when I put my big stick out.....

In a little world of their own, and they go under it!

They have a BOING for their trouble.

A teenager tried to cross on her own over the busy road further down from me.

She gave up and crossed over with me in the end.

Towards the end, I had to shout to one parent pushing a pram, that a car wouldn't stop.It didn stop when my big stick appeared.

It tried to go, but another parent crossed over, and my big stick was in the way.

*Photo time for the local newspaper celebrating International Women's Day*

It will be in tomorrow's newspaper.

Once it was took.

I nipped into the Co-op to spend £20 and get £4 off.

Lots of leeks and parsnips were on the reduced stand. They will be going in the soup for the next few days!

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

The coffee machine was put on.

Unpacked the shopping.

Unloaded and filled up the dish washer.

Now time for that coffee!

I put the soup maker on to make a new batch.

Sweet Potato, Chicken, Tomatoes, and Mushrooms went in....

Now to try and get 2 blog posts wrote before lunch....

No chance...

Just about got one wrote!

Now for a light lunch.

The rain started just half an hour before I was due to leave.

On goes those sexy lumo trousers.

Now for round 2.

On goes two hats, waterproof gloves and boots!

Turns on my lights.

Then I go and join my two friends for a good rabbit about things!

Then it was time to say goodbye to them.

Round 2 time.

Then the rain started!

Good job I had the sexy lumo trousers on!

BOING, BOING and a bit more BOING.

The limbo drivers were out in force!

The cars were going too fast in the wet.

At least I survived to live to tell the tale!

I took off my sexy lumo trousers when I got back to Sexy Beast.

Now hometime.

I got talking to my neighbour's son for an hour in the rain.

When I got in, I had to finish yesterday's blog post.

Hubby came back and a sloppy wet one 😘.

He put in the German Hot Dog Sausages in the pan of boiling water.

I am having a Chicken Stir Fry instead.

Finished yesterday's blog post.
