    Gutted! I actually have another rack of aired clothes I discovered in my mad frenzy of cleaning! OH had moved them into the downstairs loo out of the way whilst he was going out the utility room with a big box the other day.... aaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh mission for tomorrow get the ironing cupboard clear!!! (it doesn't help that OH insists I iron his pants!)
    Tell him to iron his own pants :mad::mad:
    Sort through it all carefully and work out what NEEDS ironing, and what can be folded and put away.

    But why does he need his pants ironed? I'd tell him which things I'll iron, and which I won't... and if he things anything else needs doing, then he can do it himself. You must have better things to do with your time!

    It doesn't really take very long to iron a pair of pants it just makes the pile look bigger- he irons his own shirts so I won't complain!

    Just realised as I'm telling the kids to get their pjs on that I haven't remade DS's bed yet so I'd better do that quick!

  • Snow has arrived - wonder how much? Best finish dinner & get the last of the rubbish out into the bin before battening down for the night, will sort to do list if we are stuck in tomorrow - may as well be useful!

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.

    Rosepink, Pip is much better thanks!

    Had a really good day today - just as well because it looks like South Glos are intending to close all the schools if we have some snow according to our friend. So that means I'll have DD plus DH is going to work from home which means DS will be home from nursery too.

    Oh well, I did enjoy my one day to myself :rolleyes:

    Got 3 typing jobs to do now but kitchen is all cleaned up after dinner but now must put the littlies to bed.

    It is very odd getting all the cricket stuff out and trying it on the kids for nets whilst sorting out a new hat and ski trousers for DS3 :rotfl:

    Hoping the snow does not arrive before I get back.

    Hope you are all well and safe - kitchen done bar the floor, catch up after 9:30
