MAKE SURE IF YOU HAVE AN OUTSIDE TAP IT IS OPEN AND EMPTIED WITH THE SUPPLY CLOSED OFF - MY MOTHERS BURST YESTERDAY
Going around making a list to renew household insurance. It is amazing how it adds up. 8 out of 10 people are under insured and it affects you if you need to make a claim - if you are under insured they can downgrade any claim. So if you are bored stuck at home in the snow that is a good job to get on with, making a list and checking it twice.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

Think I need to get eyes tested again. WM x 2 done. S&S and hoovered right through. Pile of Xmas pressies/cards stacked by the front door ready to deliver (still got lots to do, but it's a start and today's task made me feel more organised). Need to do HHE as it's too snowy to go out again for a walk - although I should post birthday card to brother.
