Baby elephant and lamb chops.

 

 I bet that caught your attention didn't it.???

 

On Sunday, we didn't do very much,  Just a bit of shopping.  We did go to the local tip and got rid of a load of rubbish.  When we came home, we realised that we had left my old hoover behind.  Oh well, it will have to wait until next time.

 

I didn't tell you did I, that I had to have a new hoover.  A couple of days after we had had the new carpet down, I came to hoover it and my hoover gave an almighty bang, and just gave up.  It was a bit on the old side, maybe five years old or so.  Not very old you may say, but it had been battered a bit.  It fell down the stairs twice. No, I didn't drop it.!!!  It fell all by itself.  No.  Honestly.  One minute it was standing on top of the stairs, and the next we heard an almighty crash, and when we looked it was lying in the hall.  So I suppose it's lucky it's lasted this long.  Anyway I bought a new one.  Another Dyson, but an uptodate one.  It's lovely.  For a hoover.!!!  ;)

 

A baby elephant.  What can I say. 

 

 

 

We have been looking for a couple of TV's to put in our caravans. 

At the moment they only have small portables in there. 

They are just to small. 

Keith saw a 32in TV advertised in the newspaper. 

We rang them.  "Come and have a look" the man said.  We did. 

Well,!!!  I am not joking. it was the size of a baby elephant. 

Plus it had a very bad scratch down the side.  Yes, it can be got out, but not good enough to put in a caravan. 

The man left us to decide. 

We both, that is Keith and I, decided, yes it was just too big. 

It was a bargain at only £100 for the TV and the stand.  But we couldn't really use it. 

The man came back, and I heard my husband say "will you take £80" for it.  WTH. 

I glared at Keith with one of those looks that says. "What the hell are you saying." 

I should have spoke up LOUDLY, I know. 

I didn't. 

You can tell how big it was, we had to put the back seats down in the back of the car to fit it in. 

It took two of them to carry it. 

I'm sorry, I've laughing now just remembering how funny it was.  I should have had a video camera.  I would have made a fortune.

So now I have this great big telly in my living room, and we have decided to take our own TV to the caravan instead.

We still have to get another one yet.!!!

I think I will take Laura with me instead next time.!!!!  :)

 

Adam went back to school on Monday. 

The new bus driver is very nice and friendly. 

He took good care of the kids getting on.  Checked their seatbelts and made sure they were buckled in properly. 

This is what we like to see. 

We are trusting this driver with our most precious gifts. He better take good care of them. 

I followed him to school.  His driving seems OK.  For now.

 

I have an interview with an agency on Friday.  They had some jobs advertised, so I rang and they asked me to go and see them.  So hopefully I might have a job for Monday.  Wish me luck.

 

Not much on today.  I have bought some garden furniture.  For the caravans.  I've bought four garden chairs and a table, a barbecue, a parasol and two cast iron bases for just over a £100.  A bargain.  In the sales.

 

I pulled up outside the house.  There was a big truck parked at the edge of the field.  I knew what that meant.  They had come to collect the sheep, which I have been watching for the past few weeks from my bedroom window, while I'm on the computer.  It was sad.  The sheep came trotting up to the van. They didn't need herding on there, they just walked on.  I suppose they have gone to market and will probably be lamb chops on someone's plate.  They haven't taken them all though.  I can still see a few in the field.  I wonder if the van will come back for them.???

 

Well, that's about it for now.

 

Hope you all have a good Wednesday.
