Ditto... and the same goes for grateful :D (sometime we want an explanation as to how you ended up with 2 MILs in the house at the same time without inviting them!).

Washed and dressed. Hair really needs doing, but CBA. I'll do it tonight or tomorrow morning.

Off to do some downstairs bits, including a load of laundry and the DW, and may brave outside to see what the drive is like!

Morning all :wave:

Brilliant Jue!!! Have you just been told or has it arrived in the post?

piggers - hope you are feeling better this morning. Heartbreaking to read about that couple.

soappie - Yay!

Right, I really need to do a HHS. Crafty, are you up for that or are you up to date and enjoying the hols? I have a 2,500 word essay that I would like to get done before Christmas. I was meant to do it at the weekend but as I was poorly...no chance.

Will grab a coffee and put on warm socks first

omg is anyone watching the bbc news special about the snow?! There's a little baby on there who should surely be covered up properly?

Oh my goodness Juliejim - fantastic! How did you win it? I love hearing about people I 'know' winning stuff:T.

HHC abandoned. It's cold here. This is the second winter without skirting board. We have a cellar so you can imagine how much heat/money we're wasting as there are places I can see down into the cellar. I am going to book a joiner to get this finished - I don't care if DH goes mad. I'm freezing. Also, we have no radiator in the kitchen and I can see the outside world through round the sides of the back door. I think waiting two years is enough!

* Rant over! *

Just done a mammoth present wrapping session - have joined in two HHCs without even knowing. My Mum has bought herself far too many presents again this year. It's all cos my Mum and Dad decided last minute to buy each other a joint present of a TV, so all of the presents my Mum and Dad had bought each other, now have to be distributed amongst the family, and muggins here has the job of wrapping them all.

Think I'm going to pop into town in a bit, as Nana mentioned something on Sunday about someone giving her a really small calendar last year and it having been really useful, so will check out the calendar club for little ones and take my library book back at the same time. May be distracted by an eggnog latte in Starbucks whilst I'm out too, if they haven't run out again.

See you all later,
