Now let's go to work 🍭
Let the fun start!
It was tank time.
Some just scraped a bit of ice of their windscreen!
Then it gets better.
First a blue attempted to mount the pavement to go around me, then realised it was bin day and 3 bins covering the pavement.
Back on the road you go love!
Next bit of fun I had was:
I stopped a old woman in her car to cross a parent over, when I got back on the pavement, she drove up a bit and started having a go at me for something, jabbing her finger down and gums going.....
Pity she didn't wind the window down, I could hear about the problem I had caused!
I said nothing and carried on waiting for the next person to cross over!
Gave out three Boings as well.
Finished in one piece.
Now onto Argos to pick up something I bought yesterday.

Didn't knock the door.

My new arier arrived.
I got in touch with Dunelm for my refund.
It is now been SIX weeks since I put the order in. Waiting 3 weeks, and then cancelled it.
Now the excuses pile up:
1: The Manager at my local store hasn't received my order to give me a refund.
2: The IT department are working on it to find my order.
3: Today's excuse, is the only member of their IT team is now on ANNUAL LEAVE and I have to wait for them to come back!
I got sick of this utter crap and wrote a email to their CEO. If I don't hear nothing from him, I will go further up the food chain!
Now off to do my afternoon shift.
Next door's carers had to move their car again.
On goes one winter hat and lightweight gloves.
I got talking to my friend who has had his hand op the other week. He had come back from Stratford upon Avon on the bus and dropped his earing aid. He was just on the way to the bus stop when I got chatting.
I told his wife, "Since I have been wearing a facemask, I can't wear earrings, as they don't stop long in my ear lobes!"
Puts on my lights.
Now for a little rabbit with my friends.
The sun kept appearing from behind the clouds.
I said goodbye to my friends.

Now to look in today's newspaper.
Matt Monro (born Terence Edward Parsons, )
was an English singer who became one of the most popular entertainers
on the international music scene during the 1950s and 1970s. Known as The Man with the Golden Voice, he filled cabarets, nightclubs, music halls, and stadiums around the world in his 30-year career. AllMusic has described Monro as "one of the most underrated pop vocalists of the '60s", who "possessed the easiest, most perfect baritone in the business".
His recordings include the UK Top 10 hits: "Portrait of My Love", "My Kind of Girl", "Softly As I Leave You", "Walk Away" and "Yesterday" (originally by The Beatles). He also recorded several film themes such as "From Russia with Love" for the James Bond film of the same name, "Born Free" for the film of the same name and "On Days Like These" for The Italian Job.
He died on this day in 1985 aged 54.
"Reach Out I'll Be There' by The Four Tops, released by Tamla Motown in 1966.
USA No.1 on this day in 1976:
Paul Simon - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
'Wuthering Heights' by Kate Bush, released by EMI in 1978.
Now for some Sleep Tea.
The bread came out alright!
Found my good Bread Maker book as well.

Even though Hubby lost his match on the pink.
I climbed into that warm bed...and fell off to sleep like a log!
