Good News! and Bath Time Adventures

 The good news is that Graham is working!  He applied for a job at a local garden centre and was offered the post immediately.  It is still weekends only, at minimum wage, and just 10 hours per week and he seems to have been put to selling the fresh Christmas Trees despite his Horticultural expertise 😐  It might only be until the new year but it's extra money at just the right time.  He is coming home knackered and filthy from the wet trees but it's a job....

I read on the internet this morning that MP's are still getting an annual heating allowance of thousands of £'s, including Rachel Reeves 😡 who is guilty of withdrawing help for pensioners, I don't know how they can live with themselves....

On Friday evening I had just had a lovely, relaxing bath and put on my PJ's ready to have a sandwich and watch TV when I took a phone call from my daughter.  They had the sealant on the walk in shower replaced that morning and it wasn't dry.  Could our Grandson come for a shower please?  Well, as he is an apprentice welder and comes home filthy, of course we said yes.  No problem.  In the end our Granddaughter came for a hot bath too. It was a real treat for her as they had replaced their bath with a shower 😂 It ended up being a lovely family get together with hot drinks and me in my pyjamas.  The things you do for family 😍

Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,

Angie 💗

  1. What the MPs continue to award themselves (in terms of tax payers money paying for things, expenses and freebies) annoys the hell out of me. They must have no consciences at all.

    1. It's infuriating, Sooze, what with free clothes and thousands of pounds on glasses too 😡 It's beyond a joke.

  2. I just see red every time I read about all the perks our MPs get. As Sooze says they have no consciences at all. It sounds like you all had good clean fun with showers, baths and pyjamas ... you'll have to make it a new Christmas tradition.

    Well done Graham on getting the job. I think I might allow Alan to grown his beard long ready for next Christmas so he can get a job as a Santa. He's been mistaken for Santa by children many times just as he is, so it wouldn't take much effort.

    1. Our Granddaughter did suggest it could be a regular Friday night occurrence! She enjoyed her soak in the bath so much 😂

      Yes, I could just imagine Alan as santa. He just looks the part, doesn't he 😁

A Christmas Pledge

  Now don't get too excited but I've just got my Christmas bonus from the government, a whole £10......  The sum hasn't changed ...
