    Have deleted all items I won't able to do from today's list. I feel optomistic about doing all this, although I woke up tireder than when I went to bed! Going to check bank a/c now and then do some more washing up.

    GnB - hope you don't mind me asking, I'm quite new here, and I wondered why your daughter is in so much pain? It sounds really awful. Hope things get sorted out for her soon :A

    I did something funny this morning. I looked out of the window, saw all the snow (yay, still there) but then asked DH where the car was! We have a white car and it had blended in with all the snow! :rotfl:
