Good afternoon. Both boys at school, took them myself as DS1s taxi was an hour late....daft company seding him to the airport first so he got delayed. Yet more snow over night, been unable to buy rock salt anywhere but found out there is a bin (which has some in) at the top of the street, so going to get DP & boys up there with the sledge to do a path for us & elderly neighbours. Council are buying any B&Q have & Homebase can't get it because government has bought all supplier has.

Trying to reduce our gas usage a bit with the gas works warnings especially. Going to pick up a few bits of shopping today as still not been.

Living room needs finishing first as being putting decs away, then kitchen & my room where I tipped out a box of paperwork to find something in a hurry this morning Oh tanks all need mucking out too. Hugs for all who need/would like one, best get moving to warm up xx

Just going over yesterdays list - anyone any tips about cleaning vertical blinds please? Maybe I can lay them in the bath with something?

Afternoon all, not caught up yet just posting first.

I've done the living room and hallway today, I'll claim my star later in the week

It was quite sunny earlier but it's started to snow a bit now. I've got some washing draped round indoors. I went over the vets earlier to get the dog's medicine so I don't run out if the weather gets too bad and got a couple of loaves of bread while I was by the shop as I had some room in the freezer. Gettting colder now I'm sitting down but I'll just try to catch up a bit before it's time to start cooking.

Have managed NOTHING this morning. Spent 2 hours at the doctors and the rest of the time on the phone cos some fraudulent ***hole has emptied my bank account. Now I have to go and pick up DS1 from college 25 miles away cos the train has broken down due to ice (! it worked this morning!) and then Ive got to go and get DS2 from school early because his is a village school and they are worried they will get cut off when it snows later. Theyve only had him back a morning!

Actually have not managed nothing, I have got kids up and to train station/school with packed lunches in clean clothes, have been to the doc and picked up my meds, have walked the dog...so the house is a tip but my life looks better on the outside!

Just a quick post for Greenbee - My DH is on his way back up from Hook via Oxford/Northampton and he says it is clear. He was at Oxford when he called. HTH, saves you fretting.

At work (and I shouldn't be on here!) so not much done. So far today I have scrubbed pot noodle out of the sink before I left for work. The joy of badly trained resident teenager.

Wow - that's yesterday done then. Yippee. I wonder how many of you cleaned the cupboard under the sink by hauling it all onto the kitchen floor and then ending up chucking half of it in the recycling/bin! Now I have a list of cleaning stuff to add to the Mr T list for later in the week too.
