    Good morning all. :D

    Firstly Hugs to Turks :kisses3:- I lost my aunt 4 weeks ago. My aunt and uncle are the only family I have close by, the rest live 500 miles away. She was only 44 and leaves a husband and a 16 year old son. Instead of arranging christmas we were organising a funeral.... I know how you feel hun and am here if you need anyone to talk to xxx

    Loads of love too to the other poorlys (have we heard from Diva about Tris and the cat?)

    And big hugs to those still troubled by the snow/power/utilities/water :eek: - Im hoping for you all that its sorted and back to normal soon.

    Well school is open!!!!:j:j:j

    Little one was in floods of tears and threw an absolute tantrum cos he wanted to go sledging and hates school. :rolleyes:

    So this morning - as little one wasnt stuck to the sofa, Ive put all the cushion covers and throws in the wash and will put them up to dry when I get home. I ironed 5 things.... :D (GO ME!!) and Ive left the ironing board up with the items on it I will iron tonight before I put it away.

    Lounge Floor has been decluttered and as I only hoovered yesterday I might wait until tomorrow and concentrate on something else.

    See you all tonight xx

    LR floor is nearly completely decluttered, and I've thrown some rubbish out of my handbag. Also done some shredding.

    Going to do some work now and watch Ugly Betty. See you all later xx
