    Afternoon all,

    I was sitting having lunch with a slanket over a thick jumper, over a short sleeved top, over a long sleeved top shivering so i had to light the fire. :cool:The heating went on this morning for a bit but i can't have it on all day.:eek: So, i had to clean out the grate first and then go and get some wood and coal before i could light it.:cool: It's lovely and toasty now so it's worth the effort. I've also unloaded and reloaded the dw and wiped the kitchen sides over.

    I'm going to go and put the clean bedding on my bed and then go outside and have a clear up.

    Car now all cleared out, one bin bag of rubbish and one bin bag of coats, toys, pencils, books. Tomorrow i'll clean the inside and give it a good hoovering. :D

    I think thats me finished with the garden today, it's raining off and on now so i'll get more done tomorrow.

    Right where's me list. :rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
