    Tell you what - I'm so glad I got those Craghoppers thermal trousers at the end of last winter in the sale; I'm practically living in them right now! Got on long sleeved thermal vest (very glam) and 2 jumpers and am OK if keep moving. Bit wimpy really aren't I ;)!

    Safe journey KazW - and best wishes for Christmas.
    Funfair - I would replace the mattress too, and -17, ouch.

    It doesn't seem that bad here, but I have left the heating on solidly for the best part of a wek. Running out of logs now too.

    I need to sign up for Natttys Challenge, we have visitors from C. Eve so fairly essential. The house is still a complete tip and I am doing the panic thing of I don't know where to start and it is so much harder in 15 minute lumps. Daft after all these years of flying.

    Sounds sensible to me Mumof2 - I wore my old lady thermal gardening hat to school run this morning. In public - with people who know me and everything.

  • Hi all,

    Not got much done today, suffering from a serious lack of motivation at the moment think the "on th$e scrap heap" feeling as started to kick in....fighting it though. Had consultation meeting on Mon & put some ideas to them, so still under consultation, but te plan is to make my role redundant....Trying very hard to look at it as an opportunity to do something new. Caught up to page 11 of Fred....going to do some wrapping now I think....BBS....

    Love & hugs as approprate....

    Maz xx
