    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. :D

    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.

    Ok Listy,

    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.
    If I can get the baby to nap they can 'help' me to do other parts of the house.

    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 ok
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
