    Toots How you doing pal?
    Pigpen Are you feeling any better today? I hope so.
    Lady-L Huge hugs. Try to take it easy if your tired.


    DD has her school party this afternoon so I must remember to switch the tongs on at 12 so I can do her hair :rolleyes:. I hope my ebay parcels turn up today I'm starting to worry about them now. Had a lovely night last night I went into my tidy room and cuddled up with my book, bliss.

    Morning lovelies - never posted yesterday, trying to catch up on the thread, so love and hugs to those that need/want them. Loads of snow here, still snowing as I type but fine stuff at the moment. And I have to take DD1 to work for 12 so hope the roads are ok by then. And then drive to town for the boots thingy, gave up on their website and get DD2's 'bits', still don't know what apart from pregnancy jeans. Been out to the bird feeder in my pjays and wellies!!!! Has to bring it in and soak in hot water as the feed had all got wet and frozen, not a nice job! Anyway it's cleaned been re-filled and out hanging again. Put more hay and shredded paper in rabbits hutch to keep it warm.

    I've S/S'd kitchen, opened living room blinds and S/S'd in there and that's it!!! Need to get my ar£e into gear if I want more stars.

    Been in the ATTIC and sorted out to huge trunks of ski clothing for the kids to wear and stashed away some more of my toilet roll/loft insulation :p

    Kids already out. I'm just going to get my warm stuff on and go supervise. It's always fun down the hill with a real community spirit.

Anyways, joiner got my flooring all finished so my living room now looks beautiful, everything was cleaned to within an inch of its life before going back in.
