Dressed.
Time to do some food shopping
(And use the £10 off voucher for Lidl)
We got 2 wobbly boxes.
Then we moved the car and had a look in the charity shops.
Hubby needed another suit jacket for his Aunt's Funeral next week.
Found a nice one with a long black rain mac for £16.
I was on the hunt for more minions to go with the one I bought last week.
I was not disappointed.....
We looked in all the charity shops and had to hurry back to car as the parking ticket was running out.
Now back home to unpack all the shopping.
Lots of jigsaws to keep the younger son busy.
Lunchtime.
20 minutes power nap.
Then to put all the things away I bought earlier.
The Christmas Balloon and Bakery came out for Christmas.↓
I have wrote to two more inmates in prison in the United States.
I hope to hear from the other four I sent letters too in the near future.
Tea time.
Steak Time.
I found two shopping lists while I was in Lidl this morning.

Truth
Life and Death Row Series 2
Episode 3 of 4
Life and Death Row tells the story of capital punishment through the eyes of young people whose lives have been shaped by it. With unprecedented access inside prison walls, it discovers what it's like to live with the threat of the death chamber, as well as hearing from victims and their families, and the family of those on death row - some praying for execution, some hoping for a reprieve. Each episode focuses on different aspects of the system - execution, punishment and the complex nature of 'truth'.
In January 2014, Waynesville, Ohio, 18-year-old Justin Back is brutally murdered in his own home. Two of his 19-year-old friends, Austin Myers and Timothy Mosley, are arrested and charged with his murder. However both give very different versions of events, begging the question, who is telling the truth?
With prosecutors seeking the death penalty for the crime, what will each one do to save themselves from the ultimate punishment? With access to the families of all three boys, the devastating nature of this gruesome crime and it's repercussions are revealed. It's one crime but will there be two different outcomes?
