    Evening all,

    I've tried and failed to catch up with the thread. I need to do some wrapping and if i don't move now i'll be on here all night.

    I slipped on some ice getting out of the car at Nursery this morning.:rolleyes: I fell and landed on my hip. It was quite funny though because i was trying to get up without standing on the ice so i was on all fours when a young lad came and helped me up:o. Bless him he was really sweet. Trust me to not see the massive patch of ice. It took until about 1pm to start hurting though, i thought i'd get away with it.

    Today i have

    Made beds
    Fed rabbits
    School run x 3
    Nursery run x 2
    Been Christmas shopping
    Emptied kitchen bin
    Sorted recycling
    Let rabbits out ( and they've finally realised what the litter tray is for:j )
    Tidied table
    Folded & put away 2 loads of clean washing
    Td stuff off airer for 10 mins
    Wm x 1
    Put 2 loads of washing on airer
    Cleaned rabbits out
    Wiped table
    Put dry dishes away x 2
    Washed up x 2
    S & S Kitchen x 2
    Tidied living room
    Emptied hoover

    I'm currently running on coal (smokeless) as the wood my aunt & uncle gave me has run out and the stuff from the garage was soaking wet (mouldy too) and is currently drying out. I can get some more dry wood at christmas, and then need to find a local source, and sort out storage.

    Sorry to be doing this in bits, but it's the only way to catch up.
    Greenbee - BB and I have been working hard over the last few days , and we now have a bucketful of pine cones for you

    Give us another week and it'll be a crate full...
