    Dunno Hayley, maybe you did. I'm waiting to see if I get my withdrawal before I play too much more there.

    My lip is fine now thanks Jellie, just a small lump left.

    It snowed here finally today, but nursery are so quick to close when it's cold so I had to either find childcare for dd2 or work tonight and I didn't want to work tonight when I have to work tomorrow night so managed thankfully ro get a friend to watch dd2 and I then walked to work.

    Glad you sorted out the childcare. Did your walk take long?

    No it only takes me about 20 minutes to walk to work. I have half a day off today as nursery will be closing early again and I can't get childcare today so I have to work tonight instead :(

    Got a couple of bids on things on ebay which is nice, just need to be able to get to the post office to post the parcels.
    Tried to do my shopping online but there are no deliveries until sunday, I wonder if they're covering themselves due to the weather.

    At least walk isn't too bad- take care with ice though. What a pain that you need to work tonight.

    I'm not sure what we'll do about shopping. You might be right about the online delivery services covering themselves.

    I have plenty in the freezer so think I'll make mine last till Sunday, will just need bread and milk etc so hopefully be able to get that.

    It's chilli following a new recipe for dinner tonight. Hope it turns out ok, at least I can cook and eat at home before going to work.

    Glad you got your childcare sorted out YB. It's all well and good the schools etc closing because of the weather but it does leave people with awful problems doesn't it.

    How annoying with you having to work different shifts because of your daughters nursery.

    Hope the chilli tasted nice!
