Tripled Layered Friday!

I have nothing to declare except my genius - Oscar Wilde

Welcome to share my Friday Feeling 🎈

Nice warm hug to start Friday with.

Brew with breakfast.

I started my lollipop job on this day 2 years ago 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎇🎇🎈🎈🎈🎈

Thermals going on....

It looks cold out there...

So cold, we have to scrape Sexy Beast.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before I left.

Winter hat, gloves, winter coat goes on.

It's well freezing!

I puts on my lights.

Now let's get it on...

One car went under my stick with his sunroof open, I was so tempted to bounce my stick off it when it went past! It was a good job I had triple layers of clothing on under my coat....

I finished in one piece.

Now to go and B3

I have a good yak, with coffee and nibble.

Afterwards, I say a goodbye to my friend.

Now for the fun home.

My friend comes round for a minute to tell me some news. Her car is parked over my drive. One irate van driver comes huffing and puffing to my front door demanding my friend moves her car out of the way, as he can't get past!

(Funny a bigger lorry got past only 5 minutes earlier)

He stood there with his hands on his hips.

My friend moved her car, and I didn't even look at him when he drove past.

No Friday Feeling there! 

I had a quick lunch, and it was back out for me as well!

I still wear everything I wore this morning, except it has gone down to two layers of clothing not three.

Puts on my lights.

I chat with my two friends.

Then I start my final shift of the week.

The low lying sun I had problems with yesterday, keeps getting hid by the clouds.

One mother who witnessed two vans failing to stop yesterday afternoon, couldn't believe what I have to put up with.

Some cars had to suddenly stop when I lower my stick down!

I saw from friend from earlier, we had a chat until 4pm.

I wished her a good weekend. Off home I go. 

Much needed cup of tea when I got back.

I puts the tea in the oven ready for later.

I watched the remaining two episodes of 

I gives hubby a wet sloppy 💋 when he comes home.

Tea is ready.

We will watch at least the first episode when he comes back doing the shopping.

Welcome to my Thursday 👯

Hoping the swelling on my knee goes down enough for me to return back to work next week \o/

A cup of brew with added hug.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

Hubby fetched the newspaper for me.

He had a few more sloppy wet 💋💋💋 for doing so.

Kids had some more wet 💋💋 off me.

Coffee time!

Then on to writing yesterday's blog post.

I got the chicken out of the freezer ready for tonight, made the stuffing, and roast potatoes.

I tidied up my boxes of craft items that are on the top of my wardrobe in our bedroom↓

 

I found some thermal lining which might have to be added to the 47 year old curtains by late mum made↓

I found some nice material I bought 8 years ago at the Craft Fair at the NEC↓

The story behind the nice material: While I had a limit of £70 to spend at the Craft Fair.

The person I went with spent over £350 on craft items.

(I needed £12 to get out of the car park)

Dirty Harry once said:

"A Man's got to know his limitations"

I found a box to put more material in↓

 I ordered a pattern to make some tote bags.

The elastic for the waist bands for the skirts I ordered last week has failed to arrive.

They was suppose to arrive Tuesday.

I got in contact with the seller. 

They gave me a fake tracking number.

I have informed Ebay about it.

Lunch time 

I tried to find out where I put some sewing patterns.(It was August 2018, when I moved the Dining room around)Couldn't find them anywhere...

Then my knee started to hurt...grrrrr

Time for more season 4 of:

Tea at 3.

If I can return back to work next week.

I need something spotty to wear next Friday as it's Children in Need day.

as well as Friday 13th :(

I ordered some spotty fabric,

I will try and make a spotty skirt...

(If my elastic comes before then!)

Hubby comes home and receives some wet 💋💋💋

Dish up the roast chicken dinner.

No one beside me like English Mustard...

We carry on with season 4 of Hell's Kitchen up to the Final.

I was going to make spotty apron for next week. I bidded on an apron pattern on Ebay.

Then I found another pattern on another website. Any other time, I get outbidded on Ebay.Because I WANTED to be outbid, it didn't happen!

I won the item.....

Now to move onto Season 19 of Hell's Kitchen.

Sleep tea time.

Time to get in the mood for tomorrow's Friday Feeling 🎈

Welcome to my busy busy Tuesday.

I was up far too early...

As I start my new lollipop job today 🍭

But first it's a cup of tea and cuddle time↓

  Breakfast,dressed, I gave everyone sloppy 💋💋💋 BEFORE I left the house.

 

 The traffic is terrible to get to my lollipop job.

(I will have to leave a bit earlier tomorrow)

Uniform on, with lollipop stick.

 I turn the lights on,

I begin my first morning...

One mini-van had a choice.

Either stop or have his windscreen smashed by my stick.

He chose to stop.

Once finished, I went home.

 Liquid refreshment with vitamin C.

Quick dash of housework.

Light lunch...

Back out for a little ride...

 The rain's back!

 Not very warm either!

It's a good job I had some good music to sing along with, as the journey to work was terrible!

Quick look in the newspaper↓

 One of the teachers commented on what kids say...

I told her the story, when one of my sons was about six years old and on a Police Open Day at our local Police Station. He pointed to a pair of handcuffs on a Policeman and said:

"My mum has a pair of those too!"

I smiled and the Policeman smiled back!

I had a lovely red face when I got back to my car. 

More good music to sing along to..

 Back home for a nibble with coffee↓
