Bank Holiday Monday

Welcome to my Monday 🎈

I woke up at 4.30am and couldn't get back to sleep. So downstairs I went for a much needed cup of brew!

I soon fell asleep until I woke up much later.

Time for breakfast with brew.

Time to get dressed.

Hubby was going to Lidl with younger son to get bits and the newspaper.

I gave him a sloppy wet 💋

I sorted through all my clothes that were hung up on the bedroom door.

1st New Year Resolution:

Not to buy any more clothes

I also sorted through 2 baskets of dry washing.

(The washing machine was back on)

My fabric order arrived \o/

Hubby and son came back.

Son had to spent £10 in Lidl.

It cost him nothing.

The soup maker went back on.

Chicken & Sweetcorn Soup.

Hubby finished off painting the bathroom.

My Amazon order arrived.

Another picture frame for a completed jigsaw to go on my son's wall.

Tea at 3.

Now to glue the arm back on the chair!

Now to put the things back on the wall in the bathroom.

Hubby was going to play snooker with his new cue I bought him for Christmas.

Fingers crossed he wins his match!

I put all the toiletries back on the shelves.

Second New Year Resolution:

Not to buy any more body butters or body lotions

I got on making my meat-free Stir fry.

Quick look in the newspaper.
