    And quite pleased he and Miss A are about it! Got the text before 7am.

    Been lazing around so far but we have done the My Maths for W and will be doing some spellings for Miss A (she has mock SATS this week)

  • House at the bottom of the road has been sold and they have removal vans outside - pity the removers :eek:
    We have had one shower this morning, but only the fine pinhead stuff not the heavy duty flakes I got caught in yesterday.

    Not sure what happened to the good intentions this morning - need to shift my wotsit.

    Polly ~~hugs

    Glad I went to Brighton yesterday, I have snow here!!!

    A couple of nice skids in the snow on the way to work, waited at the bottom of the hill on the industrial estate, as there was a white van mid way up the hill looking like is wasn't going to make it to the top, any way it didn't move, so off I go up the hill, drove round it, to see its wheels just spinning and spinning around, when that happens on that hill, there is ony one way to go,~~ down backwards!!

    I carried on to the top, and round to work, however, I have no customers today on the end of their phones as they seem not to have made it in.

    So I'll skip down to the post office to post ebay parcel, then go home and stay there!! (added bonus OH has this week off) might just do today's list as well!!! instead of saving it till the weekend!!

    Thanks for the HHC Mollina girl.
    Finished scraping path and salted it.
    Put breadmaker on.
    Wm filled and on.
    Sorted vegetable tray in the fridge.
    Chopped some veg for homemade soup.
    Processed leftovers and froze to use as building block.
    Opened mail and shredded, (didn't really want to know B Gas are putting up their prices and can help me budget the increase)

    Doesn't really seem a lot but it definitely
    took all of my half an hour!

    Love 'n' Snowballs
