Funky Chicken Dancing!

Woo hoo I have got this Friday Feeling so bad!

I enjoyed a late breakfast and chat at Webb's.

It's wasn't cold as yesterday.

So nobody was Tank driving (see yesterday's blog post about it)

It's the last day of school and work for a WHOLE WEEK!

Valentine's Day on Sunday....

No cake or chocolate for hubby or me.

I still can use my warm hands...;P

Time to celebrate with funky chicken dance moves  in the Living Room

With the curtains  wide open!

 

Tank Driving

Another cold one, -3c.

The car was frozen solid.

So I had to give her a good scrape.

While I was enjoying my first shift of JOB 1

I noticed other car drivers were driving cars like they were tanks.

They only scraped a small slit on their side of the windscreen!!!

Later on, I chatted with an ex-Postman for a good 2 hours in the Library.

We chatted about the times, and people who was at Royal Mail when we worked there.

Last night I had to call out the Paramedics out 

For my hubby, as he had a serious coughing fit.

After a while, he got his breath back.

They asked about the mark on his forehead.

I replied," That my love, is the mark of my thumb-print!"

 

Hot Stuff!

Welcome to my Hump Of The Week.

As part of Visiting Friends Week,

I met up with a good friend in Studley.

Good chat and coffee.

Then off to Waitrose in Alcester.

Free magazine,free cup of coffee and some great reduced food!

I made a lovely hot beef stir fry.

Packed with ginger,garlic, and lots of chillies!

After a few mouthfuls...the hubby shouted for...."Water!"

I calmly ate all mine.

Good job I have a concrete mouth!

 

 

The Fun Of The Ride!

Welcome to Pancake Day.

After the telling off from my older son about NOT using my dash cam.

It was in full use today (after sellotaping the suction cup to the windscreen!)

1. Trip to Morrison s
2. Trip to Coughton (to pick up some eggs, and finding out it was closed :()
3. Back home.
4. Then to a mate's for catch up chat and coffee
5. Then to work
6. Then home.

We as a family have been watching:

 The Dash Cam Adventures Of The Pink Princess.

Just  like watching old family movies (but of my driving, and the scenery!)

I have enjoyed the last of chocolate on my pancakes before the 40 days start of having NONE!

Hubby has already the circled the date on the calendar when he can start tucking into chocolate!

The Dash Cam Adventures.....

 

Giving It Up For Lent!

Back on the wobbly work wheel today.

Got blown about at work, and it rained for the last 15 minutes of my shift.

Had breakfast at the M&S cafe.

Got told off by my older son for not using the dash cam I bought.

"It's no use being at home, you are supposed to use it!"

He is off to Venice next week for a holiday.

If this rain continues here, we will have to be using boats to get round!

Went to the Doctors for a blood test.

The veins in my arm as normal was being tight for giving up blood.

3 test tubes later, I was surprised to find my blood was red not green ;P

I am giving up cake & chocolate for Lent.

Hubby has reluctantly joined in.

He is glad it is only for 40 days.....

Pour Me A Large One!

Today has been a testing Sunday to say the least!

Attempting to get our children to tidy their bedrooms...

I wonder where they inherited the hording from?? 

I had a quick play with my Henry the Hoover..

I tried to hunt down my Mary Berry cookbooks..

Only found one :(

Trying to organise my very small kitchen around.

Found an ideal storage solution for my cake ingredients!

To cap my Sunday off...

Hubby was unpacking the shopping ...

Whoops!

 

Never Have Enough Of.....

Woke up far too early on a Saturday morning.

So the sandwiches were made, ready for our morning out.

The rain and wind arrived, and it is still raining!!

We went to the Birmingham Motorcycle Museum for the

Paper Craft & Stamping Show.

A bit of a mad rush at first, plenty of shoving and barging.

Still, got loads of lovely card crap!

Made the most of National Library Day.

Our kids went to the cinema club being held at our Library.

While hubby and I enjoyed a M&S takeaway coffee and a read of a newspaper.

The red cross is still on the front door, as I feel unwell.

Come hell and high water, I am having a small lie-in tomorrow!
