Welcome to my Sunday 🚧

Nice hug to start Sunday with.

Brew with breakfast.

Got up the kids.....

Dressed.

Hubby went and got a car full from the Storage Unit.

While he was doing that, I was sorting through boxes in the Dining Room.

The pile for the tip was getting bigger.

Some of the things that came from the storage unit, were put in some other boxes.

Coffee time.

One car load sorted out.

Early lunch is needed!

Found something we bought for our wedding 10 years ago.

One son put it up in the garden...

Will come in useful for next year!

Then we popped out to pick up some free food from Olio, magic bag from Morrisons, and pick up some more storage boxes from Argos.

While we put 3 bags of clothes in the recycle bank, the cardboard box bank was overflowing.

Popped into see my mum and dad.

Then back home to unpack the shopping.

One more car load from the storage unit.

Sorted through all that.

Then load up the car for the tip run, while I put the tea on.

While that was cooking, I had to write 2 blog posts.

Soon tea was ready to dish up.

Finished blog writing.

Got all the washing sorted out.

I was playing spot the intro with my youngest son, he is getting very good at it.

Husband tried it, and didn't get one song from the 1980s...

My Father-in-law is having his own full bag of magic.......

Looked at today's Birthdays...
