Yay - caught up with the thread again - it moves so quickly!!!

Thursday nights are rubbish for me as we're all out, however, I'm owed 3 hours from work so will take them back this afternoon to try to do some of the outstanding chores!

Stay safe and warm today - and happy cleaning x

Valli - You need to be yourself (or at least a more sane version of yourself). Smart men are so much sexier!

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!

OMG what a shock!

:bdaycake: Happy Birthday Kazwookie

Re the bedding - I wash my bedding weekly (because I love having clean sheets - as there is only me using I could get away with longer, really), and DS and DD have two sheets. I wash the bottom sheet each week and the top sheet becomes the bottom sheet and a new top sheet is put on. Pillowcases I do weekly. Mattress turning I do when I am feeling ambitious esp as it's blimmin hard work. I use mattress covers which are, IMHO, a boon!
