    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.

    No hotspots in living room now! Also tackled one hotspot in RoD. Nipped out into town to use up the last Bxxts voucher. Also tried to get a magazine voucher used up in Mr S - only to find that it was only valid at a different shop :o 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.

    Hugs to polly
    Hugs to anyone else who needs one.

    Afternoon all

    I did today's list yesterday (keeping busy) so that's up to date (Toots ;)

    Shopping delivered this morning - not milk :( Luckily DD2 is going shopping tonight so she'll get me some.

    Not finished catching up yet, hope everyone's OK. Thanks for all the good wishes. It's quiet here.
