No Pain, No Gain!

"Tuesday: The day after Monday that reminds you that you still have four more days of not trying to slap a fellow co-worker." 
Getting used to this walking....
Pity I woke up early...
 In need of tea↓
 I went back upstairs to enjoy a cuddle.
Followed by a coffee in bed...↓
Gave hubby a big 💋 before he left.
I got the kids up, as we were walking to town this morning..↓
 We got the newspaper, 
Now on to town we go...
Through the underpass↓
 
 
 I can see Dunelm from here...↑
 New maze.
I had to go to three shops to get my supplies for Hunt for Red October due soon...
Enjoyed coffee and a nibble in the library.
 On the way home, I found a bit of a Reward certificate from the local High School↓
 Finally gets back↓
A lot of walking done↓
 I needed my lunch↑
I went to work and brought back some cake for my kids.
