Gone! Just Like Magic!

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy - Spike Milligan.

Welcome to my Monday Motivation 😄

Breakfast and Brew.

(With my new Monday cup!)

Dressed.

Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 💋 before he goes to work.

On goes the poppy on my jacket ↓

As I am on the way out, I had a workman ask to move my car over the drive a bit.

I told him I was on the way out and you can use the drive. He was here to remove all the bamboo from next door's garden. I will park on the road when I come back.

Off I went....

I parked in the Co-op car park.

(There is only a 90 minute parking allowed)

I dropped the big bag of Dvds at the Charity Shop.

The actual buildings which includes the Charity Shop was  up for auction last week, someone bought it instead of it going for auction↓↓

I got a nice Robin scarf and a mini-cupcake baking tin↓↓

I chatted with a parent on the way back to Sexy Beast.

Picked up my shopping bag from Sexy Beast and went to get my newspaper and other bargains from the Co-op.

Back home I go.

I parked on the road.

The workman were outside.

"Finished? That was quick!"

They all laughed.

I may one a cup of tea.

I unpacked my bargains and shopping.

Cup of coffee time.

I wrote one blog post from last week.

Listened to Pick of the Pops from 1967 and 1979.

No liquid lunch today.

I chatted with hubby on his lunch break.

Back to writing yesterday's blog post.

Published last Monday's blog post.

Now to make some cake....

Out comes Kenny the Kenwood....

Goes in the oven.

Cup of Brew needed...

The workman thanked me for giving him a cup of tea.

After they left, I put Sexy Beast back on the drive. 

Let's have a look at the garden next door!

One bit of bamboo left!

 

Looking good :)

I got one cake tin out of the oven.

One left to bake.

I sort out my Council emails.

Salad for tea.

Let the cake cool down.

Looked into today's newspaper.

Now for a bit of Mafia....

I watched the first one.

Put the cake together and added the frosting to it.

I will decorate it tomorrow.

Sleep Tea time.

Hubby came back from Snooker.

He won his game, however his team lost 3-2 at the end. 

Time for a warm bed with a even warmer hubby!

Hot & Sweaty Hump

Welcome to my Hot & Sweaty Hump of the Week...

 Nice cup of tea to wake up with.

Kissed all the males of the family before they all went off to school and work...💋💋💋

I did head or tails with Kenny & Kane.

Kane won!

Now to make 6 sponges

 

 

 With the heat from the sun and the heat from the oven...

I was getting sweaty!!!

 

 Lunch ↑↑

Went down to Morrisons for more supplies!

Singing along in the heat...

 More using of lemons↓

 

 In the end I made 9 sponges.

My son to be 13 says,

"Don't go too much trouble mum for my cake!"

"Too late!" I replied.....

I had to sit outside in the front garden to sit down to cool down!

 

 I was tempted to have a water fight....

However didn't fancy showing off ANY white bits due to my T-shirt getting wet!

Having To Find A Name!

Welcome to my Thursday...

I dropped another sick note into Job 3.

Showed off the patch work quilt scar on the back of my left foot...😄

The sun was out again..

Those big big sunglasses has to come again 

 

I had a early lunch.

Then for a walk over to my dad's in the sunshine.

(exercising the achillis tendon)

 My dad hasn't got a Henry.
He has got Dave the Dyson
I had to play with him instead

After hoovering the hall, living room, and dining room.I put Dave back.
My dad pointed to the stairs and said:
"The stairs need hoovering...."
I replied  by saying:
"Is that why the last slave is 6 foot under?"
 I had a chat with his neighbour while I soaked up the sun's rays in the back garden.
Cleaned the kitchen,
Polished in the hall, living room and dining room.
After that I had a much needed coffee.
My dad "gave" me my late mum's big "Kenwood" food mixer as he was worried my younger brother would have it and sell it!
The sun was still shining when I got home.

 Added more Pink to my kitchen↓↓↓
(My late mum would be happy)

 Now to find room for my bigger Kenwood and to name it!

 

The Things We Do For Love!

Welcome to this Freezing Monday.

I made sure hats & gloves were worn before the males of the family left the house.

I had a sneaky coffee and nibble

to start the morning off...

 Got all the items ready to do some baking...

I really hope that nice coffee is in one of these boxes that was delivered...↓↓

 Time to put Kenny to some work...

 Once ready, in the oven it went!
