    Morning All

    Happy Birthday Kazwookie

    DS got me up at 5.30 and I didn't go to bed until late (well late for me 11pm) so I feel shattered this morning plus DD got into bed with me in the middle of the night as she'd had a bad dream.

    Staff meeting after work tonight so won't be in until later so not sure how much I'll mamage to get done tonight - the way I feel at the moment - not a lot!

    Right I'm going to go and stick the WM on and see where I go from there.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all!

    The novelty of snow has worn off at Castle Lala! Someone knocked on the door last night to see if it was DH's car that was sitting in the middle of the road! Blooming thing had slipped all the way down our steep drive - unbelievabley there was no damage done except it was blocking off our little cul-de-sac!:eek: DH was out for ages shovelling the driveway afterwards and put bricks under the wheels!

    Flywise, HHI must be done at some point today and love the task of chucking 5 items from each cupboard! Vacuumed upstairs yesterday so I'm slightly ahead :j

    Right, I'm offski!

    Hugs to all!!

    Morning all,

    I ordered my desperately needed box files so I can organise my paperwork properly once and for all! Went through a cashback site, ordered the 5 I needed and saved another 20% and then found a code for free delivery...works out much cheaper than I was expecting :money:

    I sorted out my new ISA and bank account, sent off papers for my life insurance and some other bits and bobs which Ive been meaning to do since before xmas :eek: but they are posted now. I have a few more things still to sort out but Im taking them to work with me every day and doing what I can each day in my break.....I'll get there eventually! :rotfl:

    I put away some laundry last night and put another wash on, so Im going to empty the washing machine again then refill it.

    Ive got a boiler inspection tonight, and thankfully the house is reasonably presentable.

    So I best get on and finish straightening up before I go to work.

    Travel safe if your going out in the snow xx
