Picked up boxes from Argos.

We did the shopping.

Back home to unload it all.

Light lunch.

Now to start making room for everything.

Found the Return Back to Work Form from my old lollipop job from 4/7 2018.

I just returned to work after having 8 months off due to my foot injury.

I was only back to work for 2 weeks.

As I asked on the form,

Can I come back in September?

I found out sometime soon after I broke up for the 6 weeks holidays, I was up for redundancy.

My last day was Aug 31st.

Pity one arm don't talk to the other leg and they paid me for September. So after they clawed back the overpayment, I was left with £100 redundancy money! 

More moving about in the Living room!

We ran out of room to put the DVDs.

We made room on top of hubby's wardrobe!

All the minions were put together.

After all this moving about,

Time for a stiff drink!

Nice...

We had some party food to go along with it.

Quick look in the newspaper:

Now to round up the kids.....

Off to Bidford we go...

The sun was there to greet us...

Parked on the field.

One of my kids said what not to say.

"It looks like you are not going to buy nothing off here, mum!"

Unlucky...

I bought a Nutcracker soldier shaped like a Russian Doll.

Someone was selling a vase with fake flowers with lights.

We guessed the price...

One son was spot on with £20.

The woman said She would lower it down to £18 if I wanted it.

"It was £63 from The Range!" She bellowed at me.

I looked down at the plug and said "No" and walked off."

Next it was the CD man....

Loads of 1950s and 1960s CDs.

The kids had their 80's CDs and war songs.

Moving on,

Onwards to the nearest McDonalds.

Back home to unpack all the goodies!
