Magic Mystery Tour....

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it - J.P.Morgan

Welcome to my Sunday 🚫
We wakes up early,
As we are off to the Creative Craft Show at the NEC.
Before anything else...
It's Heardle time....
 Son's answers↓
Time for breakfast with brew.
Dressed.
Now for a little ride in Sexy Beast.
Going on the motorway was fun...
Younger son's Birthday request was read out on the radio for Wednesday.
They played a good Wings song for him↓
Parks in the car park.
Now off to look around the show
I had to go through a metal detector...
I did my normal twirl through it.
Made the Security men laugh.
Now onto the show...
I got chatting to a nice stall holder↓
I bought some things off her.
I asked her how much it was a stall for the 4 days?
"£600, and she hasn't broke even yet!"
I suggested to her to go on "Dragon's Den".
She would think about it.
This time the Creative Craft was really small.
Walked around in half an hour.
Time for coffee..
They didn't have no WHOLE milk.
So it was either SOYA or SEMI-SKIMMED milk.
I chose the Soya....
I could taste the soya milk and not the coffee!
We walked around once more.
Met my nice Scottish lady who only came down to sell off some bits of material.
It was nice to have a catch-up.
Bought some lovely material.
It was slowly starting to get busy.
We walked back to Sexy Beast. 
Someone in front was wearing a nice dress,
Going to look for that dress later when I get home...
This is where the fun starts...
Starts on the way home,
Hubby lost his bearings on the roundabout to the motorway, and ended up going the wrong way!
No roadsigns on the motorway.
We had to get off the next Services.
One large strong coffee and a nibble.
Back on the motorway.
Gets off at Junction 3, and back on the otherside of the motorway.
It didn't help the hubby left it late for me to change lanes to get back onto the right motorway home!
Finally got off the motorway!
Nipped into Morrisons to get some bits.
More fun I had!
I bought some reduced cake items...
None of the barcodes would work.
I had to type in 7 different barcodes.
Then the red light came on!!!
The assistant turned off the light.
Now to get back to Sexy Beast. 
Finally back home!
Unpacks the goodies from what I bought from the Craft Show.
Hubby makes a cup of brew.
Much needed cup of brew needed.
I get on with writing two blog posts.
Fry up some chicken, with garlic, mushroom, and tomatoes with added rice.
It was so nice, I didn't get to take a photo of it.
Still couldn't get this weekend's i newspaper.

Welcome to my Saturday 👯
I have my interview to be my Ward Councillor on my local Council later....
(Fun,fun fun!)
Nice brew with warm hug.
Breakfast.
We did the Saturday quiz and got 8 out 15.
Dressed.
Quick coffee...
Now out for a little ride...
We got the newspapers.
I got chatting to a parent who I knew from doing my previous Lollipop job. From last Wednesday, they have been told (The staff in Tesco), they will refuse to serve people if they don't wear a facemask.)
Now on to get some meat. 
Once done there.
Just to do a bit of top up shopping until tomorrow.
Gets to pay for the shopping, then the red light goes off...
Back home..
Nice bit of soup to warm up with.
Got the tablet ready for the interview.
I got changed.
Pity I can't wear a badge which I found to wear at the interview↓
Things didn't go as planned 😨
I was second to be interviewed.
During the interview,
I was asked "If I would go for another ward, if I didn't get this one?"
(Red lights flashing!)
Waited in the waiting room to find out my fate.
My gut feeling says no.....
As normal, I didn't set my expections to high and my gut was right....
I didn't get chosen!
My interview notes went into the recycle bin! 
Now to wait for the gloating to start that I didn't get it!
My hubby was quite upset I didn't get chosen.
I gave him a big hug and sloppy 💋
As we have watched "House of Cards", I am glad I am out of it!
Tea time.
The steak was awful  😶
Quick catch up of the newspapers.
Bradford Dillman  was an American actor and author.  
He died on this day in 2018 aged 87
Then to watch a great film..↓
Sleep Tea...
We watched the newspaper review..
Then off to enjoy the 16 tog duvet..
