    Glad you got out & home again safely Karma,

    I agree that as long as you're well wrapped up 'tis good to get out in the fresh air & actually see other hoomans gong about their business; all this staying in while maintaining contact via the internet can seem a bit surreal at times.

    As much as I think I want to stay in all day, I do go a bit stir crazy after a while :o

    Glad you managed to get out. It's nice being out in the fresh air so long as it's dry. I can do cold, but do feel a bit 'old ladyish' because I don't have the confidence to walk in icy conditions.

    Exactly! Its good to see hoomans - Taxi, you absolutely must be going stir crazy - its only since Tuesday for me, its ages for you :( And yes, I confess, I felt quite old ladyish on the way out, but much more confident on the return trip, that was better.

    The white stuff is melting!!! Thank heavens - so I'm going to go into the centre of town today, do some stuff. Its too boring to bother to write down, but all necessary. I'm *so* aware that my mother will be coming to stay on the 27th! Now thats scary - she stayed with me for a few days during the first week I moved in, and she roughed it incredibly, but she hasn't been that well, its cold, its the first Christmas she's *ever* been away from her own home, I don't want her to have to rough it. I think it'll be okay, but there is more sorting needed - and of course, all sorting helps me too, I'm doing my standard thing of using a visit from someone to get me to do stuff :)

    Nothing like a looming deadline to focus the mind, as I think has been discussed on hypno's thread.

    Glad you managed to get out

    DT - that's hilarious! We're a bit like that too, and it's just me and DD!! I've got some girly chums coming over on Wednesday night and have started the l-o-n-g process of tidying up the mess, but reckon I'll leave the hoovering til about 5 minutes before they arrive ;)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Thats brilliant!

    Erm, what are you doing here? Hopefully you're posting from your blackberry on the train or something.

    I'll just make a note here and now that the home made fat balls for the birds need a bit of tweaking. I didn't make them last night, so I put the cheapie lard that was all I remembered to buy in the microwave for 20 seconds, so I could mash the nuts and soaked fruit into it. Big mistake :eek: it stank! I had to open the window to get the smell (and all the nice heat currently wafting about in the kitchen) out :eek: *and* I had to do the washing up straight away :rotfl::eek: .

    Then I risked life and limb (again, by mistake) walking underneath my three-foot-long icicles without checking them, put the stuff out, and while I was washing up the crap, a robin popped along! Already! And it completely ignored the dratted preparation :rotfl:it went for the sunflower seeds I'd scattered on the snow on Thursday as an emergency measure :D
