Pour Me A Large One!

Today has been a testing Sunday to say the least!
Attempting to get our children to tidy their bedrooms...
I wonder where they inherited the hording from?? 
I had a quick play with my Henry the Hoover..
I tried to hunt down my Mary Berry cookbooks..
Only found one :(
Trying to organise my very small kitchen around.
Found an ideal storage solution for my cake ingredients!
To cap my Sunday off...
Hubby was unpacking the shopping ...
Whoops!

Never Have Enough Of.....

Woke up far too early on a Saturday morning.
So the sandwiches were made, ready for our morning out.
The rain and wind arrived, and it is still raining!!
We went to the Birmingham Motorcycle Museum for the
A bit of a mad rush at first, plenty of shoving and barging.
Still, got loads of lovely card crap!
Made the most of National Library Day.
Our kids went to the cinema club being held at our Library.
While hubby and I enjoyed a M&S takeaway coffee and a read of a newspaper.
The red cross is still on the front door, as I feel unwell.
Come hell and high water, I am having a small lie-in tomorrow!

Time To Get Down And Boogie!!

We finally reached Friday!
So glad I didn't go to Webb's today for coffee and chat.
As the way to Webb's was gridlocked.
My younger son was better enough to go back to school.
So I made the most of the day in Alcester.
Visited several charity shows and even popped into Waitrose!
Enjoyed the free coffee and free newspaper!!
Sad to hear the news of  the death of Maurice White.
The founder of Earth Wind and Fire.
His songs always make me get down and boogie!

Nailing The Red Cross On The Front Door!

Thursday has gone so quick!!!
Younger son was off with sore throat, cough and high temperature.
Hubby is still off with a chest infection.
I made a First Birthday card for my friend's daughter.
The second shift of Job 1 again so much happened.
One van didn't stop and went under my Lollipop stick
One car totally ignored me and my stick and kept driving.
Someone dropped their football, and rushed into the road in front of moving traffic, to collect it.
I shouted STOP, before they could go in the road.
Thank God it's Friday tomorrow!!!
James did some cooking at school today.
Spicy Chicken Paella meal, our tea was so nice, 
It's like there's a party in my mouth, and everyone's invited!"

I Quite Like My Hump...

Welcome to Hump Of The Week.
The morning shift went a lot better than yesterday.
Visited the Doctors for some cream...
One thing led to another and the subjects of:
Different lubes and rabbit was mentioned at one point.
Having a  blood test next week.
My veins disappear, so its hard as hell to get blood out of my arms!
One red car tried to go around me when I was crossing kids over,
During the afternoon shift of Job 1....
I just kept rolling my eyes....

Watching The Wheels Trying To Stop!

Happy Groundhog Day!
I had some near misses on my first shift on JOB 1
One white car didn't stop.
Next up, one blue car had to slam the brakes on or I would have been hit!
I saw a Policeman on a motorcycle pull one parent up for bad driving.
My job never gets boring, but does get very dangerous!
I am nursing a sick hubby this week.
He has been diagnosed as having a Chest Infection.
It nice to see what I actually do while he is normally at work.
Lots of coffee drinking, Internet, and a dash of housework!
(so he thinks!)
Now to grab the feather duster for some light dusting (cough cough).

Rising To The Occasion

Welcome to the 1st of February.
It's my real birthday this month (29th)
11 years old in real Leap years..
Experiencing a bit of wind around here..
Storm Henry arrived.
My skirt was being blown about on second shift of Job 1.
There was no rising to the occasion this time of the skirt....Just!
It would have been sight for some very sore eyes if the skirt had been lifted!
