    I have no ironing to do so it came off the list - but I have added stuff too like changing the bedding so it evens out.

    you are asking to be hit with a fluffy mule aren't you? Or have you been drinking and feeling all brave!!!
  • Hello!
    Well I've had a day off work today cos the snow was too bad! We couldn't get out of the village! We've been for 2 lovely walks & taken loads of photos cos its not often we see snow here apart from a few flakes, its been quite exciting!

    Haven't managed to do anything much of my list yet tho, I've been happily lazing around most of the day..whoops! I'll try to do a few bits after dinner of spag bol, not much point in cleaning the kitchen before I start splattering tomatoes around..well thats my excuse!
