no escaping!!!!!:rotfl::D:eek::eek: And I thought it was just toots and asbo keeping on at me!
To all of you getting a snow day just think of the positive side if you can - its an extra day to get some cleaning done or Christmas things caught up with - the temptation to laze about is great but you will probably get annoyed with yourself this time next week when you are still running around like a headless chicken!!!! well thats my view anyway!
keep warm and drink plenty to all those under the weather and I hope you feel better soon - you are better off at home just now anyway.
good luck to those keeping up with the ironing challenge and I hope the ones doing natty's challenge have worked out whats needed and are on track.
we have had a load more snow today so getting out tomorrow is looking doubtful. we are expecting to freeze tonight - minus 11 is expected and for tomorrow too.
I was very surprised when my cleaner turned up - bless her so the place is quite presentable and I am trying to not make a mess!
tootsxxPeace will be mine
could do better - must try harder
Live each day as if its your last

Hugs, greenbee. Sending you coping vibes and hope that OH will be on his way to you soon.
I'm running out of steam now. Only had a shortish lunch break since my last post and got lots done. Some furniture has been re-shuffled, our bedroom and DR look lots better. Also, I've been told that we are off again tomorrow :eek: (quite nice, as it's my birthday), so plenty of time to carry on decluttering. If DH is out tonight I'll stick on music and do some more, then. First need to think about tea. I really don't want to cook and have forgotten to take something out of the freezer.
Back later. x0 -
Oh Greenbee that's such a lot to contend with and you've enough on your plate. You're rising above it so much better than I would in the situation. The whole kids in the car for a stupid amount of time for a journey in this weather just horrifies me, let alone the whole thing about you not being invited, and then OH being stuck as wel....Me? I probably would have lost the plot by now! Well done, I really admire you for the way you're trying to cope with it all. Huge hugs, and coping vibes being sent your way xxSaving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.0 -
(((HUGS))) Greenbee. I wouldn't be at all happy in your situation, either.OH has got snowed in at his ex-wife's
Hey there LadyL lovely to see you; I'm hoping it thaws here before 10th; I've never tried the mobility scooter in the snow, and I'll need to use it to take Sidney for his walkies!:DLady-Liberty wrote: »It's pretty to look at thru the window but makes using a wheelchair/stick impossible .... so a few enforced days in I guess :eek:
