    Diva - that is my fav carol, although I have enjoyed all of them.

    Who has snow this morning then? That was a surprise...especially as I had checked the forecast at 3 am and there was no mention of snow. I feel absolutely rotten. I think I saw every hour on the clock last night. I wont be doing much other than meal plan today.

    School run done
    local cards delivered
    second breakfast eaten (well third if you include the biscuits I had with my first cuppa)

    Kaz - I've had more trouble with parcels this year than ever before, I'm convinced a second one has gone missing now. Glad I've got no stuff on ebay to send

    SSL - hope you feel better soon sweetie

    I can't decided whether to go out again now - I need to pop back to town and drop bits off at various places or to do the bathroom and go in a bit. Think I'll get all the stuff together and then decide.
