Morning all flying folks,
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr its cold here this morning, for a change :rotfl: Got the fire lit so soon enough it should start to warm through a bit. Well the living room should do.
I really, really want an elf, but mine would need to be magic as there is no one to 'assist' him while I am asleep. It really is a wonderful idea i bet it brings magic for the whole family not just the littlies.
Hmm, our weather forecast shows us under a big snow cloud for pretty much all of the day. A friend is meant to be staying with me from tomorrow night to sunday from Birmingham. He is sure he will make it but tbh i think it might be bad idea. Will have to see what develops.

My husband's school is open but the twins school is closed so not sure how much I will be able to get through today but might see if I can settle them to watch a film although they have a tendancy to not let me leave the room so can't see much getting done today.

Morning all
Piggers hope you feel better soon!
Valli my psychic powers say your house may be a little blue .... Even we know you're not usually in on a Thursday !!!!!! silly personage!
I'm so bored! Waiting to hear Mam awake as I don't want to wake her up but 2 hours later I'm very very bored! We've had another couple of inches of snow/hail since yesterday afternoon - great - not! DP decided last night he's going to try to work tonight, can't say I'm too impressed and just realised if he takes my car I can't go to get Mam from work so we'll have to decide what we're all doing when he gets up. Men eh.... Oh it's snowing again and I can hear cars spinning their wheels, great it's started already.
Right today's list, seeing as I can't do anything else yet
Kitchen complete so I can have that star
Rearrange some kitchen storage to get the bulk buys in
Put kids laundry away for my third star
See if I can sort somewhere to put the sofa bed in DS1s old room to save awkward mornings - hmmm
Clear and clean bathroom
If I need to do nothing else today I should get all the above done! Unfortunately I think I will end up doing the headless chicken routine with family/neighbours making sure everyone is okOne day I might be more organised...........
