    Which means I have no excuse for not doing housework.

    Morning all :wave:

    Complete white out here. I should be at uni, but I dont think I'll get out of my street. My neighbour has been struggling for the past 20 mins and I was toiling to get in the street last night! So I think I will take down the Christmas decorations. I'm sick of my recycling cluttering up the place too. I cant see my recycling boxes under all the snow :mad:

    Happy Birthday Greenbee :bdaycake:
