Welcome to my Thursday 👅

Nice warm hug.

Brew with breakfast.

We were expecting two deliveries of things to do our DIY project with.

First up was Wickes Delivery.

Then it was the Tile delivery.

(Let's hope hubby has measured the walls properly, as don't want to run out of tiles halfway through the job!)

Then while I went off to get the newspaper.

Hubby had a tip run to do.

I noticed a car had parked on double yellow lines when I was on the way back to Sexy Beast.

I also noticed the parking ticket on its windscreen!

Now for a much deserved coffee when I got back.

We dropped son off at work.

We popped in to see my parents.

We had a good chat.
 Then onto Sainsburys.

I have no more room for anymore British Bake Off Books.

Back home to unpack shopping.

Then it was light lunchtime.

Now to carry on watching the rest of Bad Sport.

3:Footballgate.

Investigators detail shocking allegations that former Juventus director Luciano Moggi influenced referees in a scandal that rocked Italian football.

6:Fallen Idol 

 Hansie Cronje captivates South Africa as the nation's charismatic cricket captain, but allegations of match fixing besmirch his sterling reputation.

Then I got on with making tea and putting it in the oven.

My new CD arrived:

Next up to watch was:
