We've had no snow here at all. Whilst I envy you all that have had lots,m I suspect I would be totally fed up with it by now as you are.
Kitchen is looking sparkling and I'm gonna have a soak in the bath to de-clutter self of bugs and noxious odours before starting in living room. Needs to take down Xmas decorations too.
I had my first ever Real xmas tree this year - I loved it and the needles weren't really a pain at all. Must have been lucky.I must go, I have lives to ruin and hearts to break

About to fill the WM and then I might go on either Wii Fit or my new singing game We Sing that my DH got me. Why he got it for me I don't know as I can't sing (I'm really awful:o) but it's great fun!:D

Boys are back from the cinema and pizza hut and are now upstairs playing, I hope they dont make too much mess x

To-do lists by room - Just need to type them up so they're legible now :rotfl:
Dehumidifier juggle
Print out calendar with school hols etc on it.
Just having another coffee then I'm going to go and put stuff away in my bedroom again. I tidied up my chest of drawers but really need to sort through the stuff I'm putting back properly. I think I might actually have to juggle things around due to the amount of clothing I've got in there instead of just toiletries
I don't think I'll be buying any Aunt Flo stuff for the rest of the year though - found 3 full boxes which I didn't know I had, ontop of the 3 already open
:rotfl:
I'm going to meal plan while I'm sitting here.Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -

I'll get some pics from OH's mobile to share with you all
I cant tell you how fed up I am with it. If we had grit and salt and the roads were kept clear and things didnt completely grind to a halt and take 3 hours to do a commute to work that normally takes 1 hour, I'd probably enjoy it
