    My boiler has broken down :mad::eek: Been on hold to the company who its under warranty with for over an hour in total now. Been cut off twice. DD is curled up on the sofa with hot water bottle,under a quilt & fleece, wrapped up trying to stay warm. I've done all I can. Can't exactly fly with a phone attached to my ear, freezing cold fingers & no hot water. :o Tidying up the best I can when I'm not trying to defrost with a hot drink.
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

  • [FONT=&quot]Afternoon everyone. I've had horrible day at work, I had 10 extra calls to make as one of the carers rang in unable to get out of her driveway. I managed with a bit of effort, (I'm very rural and on a slope, other carer in town on a main road:mad:). Finally make my way to her calls to have abuse as I'm late, I'm not the normally carer....Bla bla bla. :( And I'm oncall this weekend so will probably have the same problems)
    Anyway rant over, sorry:o

    Manged to get some ironing done last night, I only have 1 full basket (I'm not counting the stuff in the TW!) Kids have made a cake today with DH who has left loads of mess in kitchen for me to tidy.

    Bits for the winter car kit finally turned up today, so Tuesdays list is done now Can I have a snowman please toots.

    Love hugs stick spoons & hot water bottles to those who need/want

    Hugs greenbee,and kaz too. It sounds like you both need big huge ones right now.

    Triker The same has happened to me but the buyer was able to detract their complaints later. I hope it is settled soon for you. I know how stressful it can be.

    Ooooh lots of sad/angry/fed up flyladies...:(

    Ok.. everyone big deep breath... hold it.. hold it... and phewwwwwwwwwwwwww

    Oh and how about a big flylady huggle or a drink.. it is nearly christmas after all :beer: !!

    Ya, know (takes cover) I really am glad i am 'kinda' single. My cat does annoy me at times but now his blankets are back on his chaise he is curled up there fast asleep and silent.. perfect. :o

    Oh and Piggers - your 'naked but erect' christmas tree had me coughing on my coffee!:rotfl:

    Got all my christmas cards written on just a few left for close friends but family and CCswaps are all done and dusted.

    Wrenched my ash bucket out the snow.. putting it by the bin when it is hot is a bad idea. It had melted the snow and frozened into the ice!

    Good morning all. I wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone on the thread as I feel that it's really helped me keep going this week. My house is looking much tidier and I seem to be getting tasks done that have been looming over me for a while.

    I have now finished 2 rooms entirely and hope to get a couple more finished off today. I have a long to-do of other bits today too. I seem to have gotten started with lots of tasks this week then I've gotten very easily distracted ...
