I raised £150 from my sponsored slim.

Well done you! :T:T

More words decluttered. I spoke to a local publisher this afternoon. They said the book probably wasn't one they would be interested in but to let them have a synopsis. That doesn't sound very promising, but I'll send something in anyway.

Again, I won't know if I'm going into work Friday until 06.30am tomorrow. As the forecast is rather grim, it will be difficult to see why tomorrow would be different to today. However, I do think they should at least let the admin staff (like me!) go in to answer the phones if nothing else. The building I work in is off campus so there's no worries about people slipping in the grounds and suing them etc.

There are also exams scheduled for Monday and given the severe weather warnings out for loads of snow on Sunday and Monday, it'll be difficult to see how they can take place as half the students (who are on placements in various parts of the SW) probably won't be able to get in for them. They will be getting v. anxious and trying to phone up!

Right, declutter a few more words and then think about dinner.

Huge hugs jojo. Praying it is nothing to worry about. Like thrifty said it could be underwire rubbing. My breast surgeon guy says he wants to ban underwired bras!

Is that all underwired ones or just ill fitting ones? Can I ask why?

There are also exams scheduled for Monday and given the severe weather warnings out for loads of snow on Sunday and Monday, it'll be difficult to see how they can take place as half the students (who are on placements in various parts of the SW) probably won't be able to get in for them. They will be getting v. anxious and trying to phone up!

For us public exams go ahead whatever!

JoJo hugs - have you got glands up anywhere, neck, groin etc? Good luck sweetie.

Secondary is open but neither DS wants to go as they are worried about the number of kids throwing really hard snowballs - I'm in two minds. There are some right little $hits about and I wouldn't want them throwing them at me (last year a kid got concussion) but don't want them thinking they can stay home cause of that? Advice please - they are really worried especially DS1 who got a bit of a punching before the end of term.

Flying: made muffins, washed up

Talking about the bin collections - my collection was on Tues when the snow arrived bigstyle. We left the bins outside to see if the council arrived to empty them as it was supposed to be the extra rubbish collection from Christmas

Came home today and the household rubbish had been emptied! 2 days delay only, thought it would be longer and it would be 3 weeks since the last collection.

Only the paper recycling one was left full so this will probably have to wait another 2 weeks.

If yours hasn't been collected I think the council will catch up in a few days or a week. Has anyone rung the council environmental dept to see if they know if they will catch up.

Not much flying today, have walked up to Mr S to do a little stock up and there were lots of empty shelves - fruit veg and bread!

Bad weather predicted this weekend so I will catch up on the flying then, delay the travel down the M1 to see mum for a week or so and plenty of stocks in so can keep warm and cosy inside if need be. I am surprised how much snow is still around and not slushy - v.cold indeed. Glad I sorted a winter car box out a few months ago. Took a flask today just in case and have water and some choccy in there as it is quite a long way to work

Hope everyone else is ok and coping with the littlies off school or the cold and snow and be careful out there.
