Getting Lots Of Help From Vick!

One way to help the weather make up its mind is to hang out washing - Marcelene Cox

Welcome to my Sunday (Not giving any) 💓

Only woke up once during the night.

That Lavender Pillow Spray I had for my Birthday knocked me straight out.

The Strange Dreams about Royal Mail started again.

Once I woke up, all the windows got opened throughout the house.

Brew with Breakfast.

I put the coffee machine on abit later.

(I was no mood to get up just yet)

I enjoyed a hot strong coffee..

Before I fell asleep again.

Hubby went off for a walk to fetch the newspaper and post our son's PCR test.

When he came back, I had found the need to get dressed.

Puts lots of Vic on to help with blocked nose.

The sun is out.

The washing from earlier, went out on the line.

I finished off the soup.

Afterwards carried on doing some gardening.

Hubby loaded up his car with the garden waste, and took a trip to the council tip.

I made us some cups of tea, and waited for his return.

It was nice to enjoy some Vitamin D.

Hubby put the meat in the oven.

I carried on writing yesterday's blog post.

We had a roast pork roast dinner.

(too slow with the camera this time)

Later on, hubby took a Covid test ...

His was negative.

Next go was mine.

The second line appeared before it chance for the first to appear!

POSTIVE.

No Wobbly Work Wheel for me tomorrow!

I let my boss know and the NHS know too.

One minute I am freezing cold, next I am so warm. The raging sore throat doesn't help!

Carried on watching:

All Aboard The New Cabin Bed!

My last credit card bill was so big, before I opened it, I actually heard a drum roll - Rita Rudner

Welcome to my Thursday 💣💥

Breakfast.

Dressed.

We were up really early as we were expecting the delivery of my son's cabin bed.

We didn't have to wait long.

3 heavy boxes containing the bits of bed.

The delivery man carried one box on his own to our door.

I don't know what he thought when he saw hubby and I trying to lift one box and struggling!

Now to get the kids up to take down the bed my son is sleeping in, and clear out his room.

6 black bags and counting....

While I wrote yesterday's blog post.

Hubby walked to the newspaper shop to fetch the newspaper.

Coffee time!

Both sons were putting the cabin bed together.

I put the washing machine back on....

I tidied up in the kitchen and living room.

Another Prima Makes magazine arrived \o/

Nice easy lunch.

Hubby went over to see his dad and add some lovely things to his late mum's grave.

I meanwhile had some pom poms to make.....

Tea at 3.

I made 11 pom poms until I ran out of wool!

I am waiting now for the delivery of wool now....

Hubby's mum grave is looking nice.

(The brown lining will be replaced with black weed barrier soon)

The solicitor sorting out the estate of my late dad's is now waiting for the house to be signed off.Then will take YET MORE WEEKS for THEM do the final settlement of what each sibling is getting and how much the Solicitors and Estate Agents fees are...

(I dread to think what their fees are going to be!)

The buyer of the house is dragging their feet on signing the papers and returning them to their Solicitor.....!!

It looking like July or August before this gets sorted!!!!

Now for tea!

I looked inside today's newspaper.

Work saves us from three great evils: boredom,vice and need - Voltaire

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

The sunshine is back \o/

I had a nice hug and cuppa↓

 Off for a lovely walk↓

 No one around↓

 Just had to sing along in the Newspaper shop while waiting to pay for my newspaper.

The song was a classic↓

I picked up a tube of Pringles (RRP £2.49) and a small pot of Pringles (RRP 60p).

(The most expensive price I have ever paid for a tube of Pringles in my life!)

I forgot to pick up Lidl's own brand of Pringles last night when I bought some dips.

(I wasn't going to use my finger for dipping!)

Gets back home.

Washing put on the line.

Washing machine put back on.

Hung the completed Pom Pom Wreath on the wall in the living room \o/  

 Time for coffee and a quick read of the newspaper↓
