Getting In The Christmas Mood!

I'm not a snob.Ask anyone.Well, anybody who matters - Simon LeBon.

Welcome to my Sunday.

I thought we had a too longer lie-in,

Until I realised I didn't put my watch back a hour.....

At least the sun was out!

We made full use of the new toaster

New jar of Nutella↓

We had snuggles...

Now for a little ride..

Webbs Experience↓

We then left after getting some bits from Hobbycraft.

Next stop↓

It was nice to enjoy a reduced mince pie↓

Then off to Aldi to finish off this week's food shop.

Gets back to unload the shopping.

My nice stuff from Hobbycraft↑↑↑

The kids swept the path of leaves.

We sorted out the car park ticket for next week's visit to the NEC.

I bought my younger son's Xmas present.

(Which can be used every year!)

Always Bring A Trolley,Never A Bag..

A Penny saved is a penny earned - English Proverb

No chance of a lie in..

We listened to "Sounds of the 60s" in bed with a cup of tea...

So many things to do and places to visit...

Out of the house...↓

Popped into see Grumpy Granddad.

Then off to see Jeffery↓

The view from the car park↓

Anyone want a tyre???

Off to see the Droitwich Lions.

They couldn't believe the stuff I got.

I said, "I have cleared you out,that's why I always bring a trolley never a bag!"

All for £13↑

We moved the car to where I parked yesterday.

We did some charity shop looking and buying bargains.

We rested out feet in the Library.

Nice car I bought..

(To go with the other two I have)

On our way to our final charity shop

We nipped into Waitrose, and got a yellow sticker lunch...↓

Now to do my dad's shopping↓

Back home.

My car collection↓

All the bargains we got from the Charity Shops↓

I went down to do my other cleaning job.

After tidying up in the kitchen, I found some cake expiry date 28/2/2019↓
