    Well we have 3ft of snow. Farmer is going to dig out the drive today and then we are going to try and dig out the car. Lots of NSD. Possibly getting cabin fever. Struggling to find the log pile let alone the logs! Not seen the nags for 2 days. Going to need serious mucking out. Losing lots of leave. Otherwise everything is tickety boo.

    Made a lovely turkey and tomato tagine last night, served with brown rice. If I had been better organised I should've done it in the slow cooker. Got some stewing steak for tonight and a can of bitter to throw in. Lovely.

    Paid another £40 off the debt. Baby steps.

    Well done all that house cleaning etc Makes me feel tired listening to it. Well done on the debt repayment - it does help to keep chipping away at it. I can't wait for my next pay day. Really need to do my expenses tho or my tax will be horrendous!

    Hope weather improves for you soon Lucielle, posty not been picking up round here since Monday but I believe they should be back tomorrow.

    DD been off school since they broke up for Christmas now and they are shut until Monday - DS went back for one day so they are seriously hyped up, tried tiring them out with sledging which involved me exhausting myself and them more energetic than ever! xx
