    Haven't done a lot today really; walked to shops to get milk and potatoes, back home and did dailies. Feeling really aggressive (that potent mix of PMT just starting and then mixing it up with depression) and, to cut a long story short, ended up falling asleep on our bed for 2 hours this afternoon after having got very emotional. Now I've woken up with a headache and feeling queasy - probably from just being still tired (I hope).

    Doing bangers and mash for tea with gravy - nice comfort food :) and then settle down to ironing/knitting/typing job whilst watching TV at the same time.

    Hope you're all doing OK in this snow. We haven't had a lot but it's freezing now and was a bit slippery even when I went to put the chooks to bed at 4.

    OOh - snap - just cooking now....

    Stay safe & warm everyone..

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.

    Braved town for a mission to find slippers, no joy so just got a few stocking bits but that's it.

    Took all our excess rubbish to the tip as bins haven't been emptied since weeks ago and I know snow is acoming again so I'd like the back garden cleared as much as it can be.

    Fire lit and burning away, hubby finishing off the floor in the bedroom, hoping for underlay and carpet down then we can move back in...oh and we need a door.

    Numerous washing in WM TD and on radiators.

    Dw x 1 and loads of big pans soaking.

    I have a lot of ebay stuff that I haven't listed due to the postal delays, is anyone else in the same boat, are you going to wait or are you carrying on regardless.

    I did have an amazon delivery and a book people delivery today, only ordered wednesday so happy bunny.

    Talking of which so sad Pen Pen about your wild tame rabbit.

    I'm working all week and don't finish until friday, which gives me no time to do any fun christmas stuff really. So tonight I hope to wrap some pressies and get a view of what is got and what is missing.

    I still need to do some more food shopping and meal planning.

    Not done much today due to feeling sooooooooooooooooooooo poorly

    Just about to tackle a slow hamper putting together session over tonight and tomorrow - need to do it as its doing my head it, but I keep needing to rest after doing one thing before another which is ok.

    Just off to put some jacket potatoes in to have for tea - maybe with either stew or beans and cheese depending on what I fancy later on

    What a 24 hours. DH and I went out last night and had a nice meal and a good drink. We came home to discover that DS3 has broken his nose (a cushion was thrown). DS2 has a temperature and DS1 is an obnoxious big brother.

    DD1 is stuck at the boyfriend's. As soon as it started snowing I phoned her and told her to get the next bus home. 2 1/2 hours later she's bleating on the phone that the busses aren't running because of the snow. DH is driving over to get her and it's treacherous to put it mildly.

    A DF has been installed at the local B&B as she can't get home! Our house is always full and I'm not giving DD1 any excuse to stay at the boyfriends! Having said that it's like going into a warzone entering her bedroom.... Mess and clutter everywhere!
