Morning Moo!

Hope you get a snow day - I sadly live in the middle of town on a main bus route ten minutes from work No snow days for me

Aahh but there aren't any buses here and those that there are have been cancelled as of 6pm yesterday.

Perk of being the early morning minion is is have the boses home phone no and I utilised it wisely to wake him up. School is shut today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But since I'm togged up to the eyeballs I'm going to take the pooch for a walk in the snow before anyone else dares to put footsteps in it.

Working from home would be fab but I'm not self disciplined enough. I'd fill my day with random twaddle and lots of book reading and it would be bedtime before you know it without me having actually done any paid work. I admire those of you who can structure your day and stick to it to see that you're not sidetracked by the random minutae of life like the collection of books that need reading before they can be decluttered. Guess I'll go review the one I've just finished and then start on the next one.

Moo you're not self disciplined????:eek:

I couldn't do half the stuff you do and I just have to worry about me, and not even looking after the housework, not sure I could work from home either tbh, I do four days in the ''office'' and find my days off when I have all sorts of grand plans for tidying up/decluttering/mystery shopping/running/swimming etc end up with me curled up on the sofa with the hound and my lappy.....:o

Well I'm not self disciplined. I start my day full of grandiose plans and end up barely managing anything I'd planned. Life continuously gets in the way. Today is the perfect example. Walked dog at 7:30 for an hour in order to post a letter for the postal survey peeps that I'd forgotten to post for the last two wednesdays. Pottered about a bit downstairs munching chocolate everytime I passed the fridge. Spent an hour and a half helping DD2 buid a 54 piece 3D wooden dragon whose parts were randomly and frequently mislabelled and resulted at one point with a rear leg attached to its head. Completely ignored todays target room and going by the smoke signals coming from the kitchen I've just set fire to the oven *again*.

Extractor now on max desmoking the kitchen before I have another go at cooking tonights dinner.

Meanwhile I've dispatched a bag of paper from the bookcase into the recycling bin and have sorted two bag of really naff books for the charity shop. Psion Organiser programming anyone?

Have rearranged furniture from the landing in such a way that the front door can no longer be opened. Figured that was an incentive to chop it up asap. Landing is now minimalistic. Shame about every other room upstairs really.

Planning to bung a roast in the oven without setting fire to either and then vacuuming the stairs for the second time today (still finding sawdust everywhere) and the master bedroom (aka dumping ground of the day and temporary home to all the tat that didn't belong on the landing.

Suffering a combination of insomnia, recurring nightmares and I'm going through a really wriggly patch resulting in painful bleeding patches on the back of my ankles where I'm running in my sleep and have worn the skin into giant blisters and beyond. OH has opted for the sofa bed. He gets fewer bruises and more sleep that way.

ps. Scuba Angel the vodkas in my chocolate fridge and the ice cream is in the freezer directly underneath it.

Discovered the alcoholic version of a coke float when inibriated as a student. Large vodka, even larger quantity of coke and several scoops of ice cream devoured by straw. Lovely. Also available with lemonade and fresh strawberries in place of the coke.

Have written letter to the bank telling them I got married and have changed my surname. Its only taken me a decade to get round to it.

Joint defrosting in microwave. Middle is still like a brick. Dinner will be a tad later than planned. Will be baking cakes for lunchboxes later too. Poor DDs thought they were on rations yesterday.

Managed a micro tidy of the master bedroom and a quick vac whilst waiting for a transforming facial mask to dry. It dried but I've yet to transform in to Halle Berry or even Jeremy Clarkson. Still its one more partially used tube of gunk a step closer to becoming bin fodder.

Stairs and dining room next as OH is asleep on the sofa. This week off work lark is clearly quite hard going, for the poor boy.
