:eek: I've just had a look at my little list from earlier - instead of getting on with that, I spend ages digging the car out and clearing half-defrosted ice from outside our front door. Oh well, at least it was a job that needed doing. Time to see to TD/DW/WM and then lunch.

When I checked on the food I'd left for the birds on Thursday, it had all gone. I left some more, and most of that's gone already.

Entitled

Secret Diary of a Crazy Person?

I do however suspect DD1 was the source of the tampons.. The chest is still feathery.

Baby sleeping so I am flicking OH from his land of Geek and we WILL make a start on the wrapping.. I LOVE wrapping!

Oh.. another chuckle for you all..

The motion sensitive air freshener in the hallway... I anticipated its spray this morning.. I gaily danced down the stairs.. I flicked my pj leg in front swiftly.. and it hasn't got the speediest of reflexes so when it sprayed I had already moved back out of its demonic spray..

'AHA!!!' I chuckled 'I foiled your dastardly plan to make me smell sweet!'

Skipped down the step into the backroom...

And promptly stepped on half a dead mouse... I hadn't seen that coming!

Afternoon all

Much milder here today and the little snow we had is almost gone.

Hex - definitely more birds than usual here too. Heaps blue/great/long tailed t!ts

Had a bit of a lazy morning, looking at paint charts in bed trying to decide which colour to inflict upon the walls of our bedroom. DH is decorating it starting Boxing Day we have his Dad, sister and neice staying on the 27th so it will be chaos upstairs.

Going to check my list and then I want to do an hour outside filling log basket, moving pots, cutting greenery for decorations etc before the next chill starts.

Coo-eee! Just thought I'd stick my head around the flylady bar room/coffee shop again after a manic week with snow, long long travel days and the coldest days ever!

Sooooo glad its the weekend to chill and relax

The house was a tip with dog hair, mud, leaves, rubbish, books and boxes everywhere and now I have a LR again looking neat and tidy......let me go and find a list from somewhere and see what else there is to do

How is everyone? Greenbee - I hope you're feeling more positive today (just read that back and meant happier)

I'm feeling pretty chirpy for a change after getting 3 new tyres on my car and having a lot more grippier car now. Thank goodness after a scary drive day on Tues and then not driving for the next 2 days due to this and the weather conditions. Got a bit obsessed on the Guardian website updating winter chaos. V.enjoyable esp the northern parts saying how not grim it is up north! Too true

List time.......

Just having a late lunch whilst I have caught up.

Step ladders are released from the garage so I can go up into the loft later.
