    orkneystar - assuming your list is complete as you are needing to keep warm, just spoken to relatives who are near Wick and they are complaining of the cold.
    Yes, its ffffffrrrrreeeezing here. Been hail, sleet, winds, had a short powercut last night (DS was not happy about it as he was naked and we were just about to bathe him!). Before you all get too impressed with my list you will see, if you look closely, that I did not do any extra missions. jjef yours looks pretty impressive too.
    Ok, thats the skirtings done, bins done (just need to dump them), and about to quick dust lounge area/tv, main bedroom and quick ss upstairs bathroom (downstairs is tooooo cold to do lol), and DS awake so maybe no knitting afterall :o.

    Day on track so far. Just going to:

    Wipe the mud of numerous shoes
    Wipe sticky marks off back of AGA
    Get snacks together for Go Karting and then off I go.

    I've had my hair cut and had a couple of inches off the back so it looks quite different, I quite like it (I hated it before) - kids not keen on it but that's not a bad thing.

    Galantvr4 - nice to see you

  • Hi,

    Hope everyone is well and welcome newbies. Today I have taken myself and hubbie to the dentist (I go with him as he's blind) and done laundry. My aims for today are to do more laundry, wash up and tidy up

    I must be MAD
    been to Meadowhall with DD (near yesterday but too busy to pop in;) ) it was PACKED (be warned Michelle!)
    jeans bought plus a few bits, had a very nice dinner in House of Fraser (couldn't face the Oasis) but my eyes are SO SORE:confused: -all I can think is it has been caused by the bright lighting - keyboard is blurred as is the screen - clearly I need to rest them:confused:
    so I am off...

    did my ironing before I went though...

    might go and clean the kitchen now...or take 5 with eyes shut...

    Welcome newbies/returners...sorry for not properly mentioning you...maybe reading 7 pages wasn't a good idea...
