Hellyboo

Thanks for the snow reports, he's just left with lots of warm clothing, juice and biscuits, and he promised me he'd buy a shovel on the way! He wont be on his own which is some comfort.

I managed to sort most of the living room carp into piles that now need to be moved to their respective homes, mostly toys which go in the freezing cold conservatory. Just scoffing a sandwich because I realised I hadn't eaten today and I was getting shaky. Going to give DS2 his apple puree now, carry on in the LR for a bit and hopefully get it hoovered, then give him his milk feed at 1 and go to Mr T, then tackle the kitchen (which actually isn't too bad) when I get back. Will be back for some HHC's then.

Wow, my postman just came and he was wearing shorts! Are they mad?!

So excited to have done all 3 levels and will move onto the extras after lunch.

The kids are still up in Durham at the in laws. My FIL is so, so funny as he loves to overexaggerate. Allegedly they have at least 2 foot of snow in their back garden, which is strange as that is over the height of the twins who have been out helping him shovel - very amusing.

I am desperate to go out for a run but think running in wellies might be a little silly!

Well I am in this week as you can see from the above list :j Thank you all who help with the list. Seems to be Monday is the day I fly. Next week I will have to do another room if I carry on like this!

Going to have a think about which cupboard to sort out and will mop the floor later as plan on going out soon.

Hellyboo my postman was wearing shorts this morning too! He pushes a massive trolley thing and says he gets far too hot in trousers after 5mins!

No snow here in Sussex yet, but it is absolutely freezing. I had the ensuite & bedroom windows open this morning while I did the school run (stupid condensation is getting awful) and when I got home instead of disappearing, the condensation had frozen :rotfl: Nevermind! I scrubbed it off and shut the windows quick!

Looks so much better and makes the whole kitchen look nicer.

Well in my HHC (which ended up an hour) I ironed, ironed, ironed and ironed some more. There is still more to do because my ironing pile is soooo high, but at least I feel like I'm getting somewhere with it now.

DH is still in bed not feeling great so I think I'd better switch the iron off and get some lunch sorted. Not feeling very inspired so it might just be beans on toast. The kitchen will be tackled as lunch is prepared I think.

Twinmum I went to the coop and on my path and drive the snow was mid calf lenght on me and in 5ft 8, so its probably a foot and a bit on my drive, the bits where ive shoveld the snow, you are definetly looking at waist height.

just enjoy being child free as long as possible

well ive done no housework but i have cleared a path from my door to the drive and round one side of the car and at the back and put some grit down and also decluttered a cuppa!

Who is going to join me in a 1 and a bit HHC?

Aunty Crafty are you ok honey - you have been quiet - I suspect you are well and truly snowed in so dont be doing anything foolish like trying to walk anywhere or clearing paths!

Sorry, toots, you are too late:rotfl:
I hadn't been out since last Tues, mainly because my sore throat turned into a cold and then the snow came. However this morning I cleared my front path and steps, then went to hairdresser and got milk from the shop.
Got caught in a heavy snow shower on the way there, much to the amusement of my hairdresser (I do like going to a place where you get joked with:)) then got caught in another one on the way back so now I am back in I ain't going nowhere.
And we just had lightning and a massive thunder rumble:eek:
I've been lurking but not posting, but if I am not going out I need to stop drifting and get doing.
OK - before anyone starts chucking fluffy mules - I did run the WM before I went out and made the C** Cake last week.
