    Raining here too

    DS1 run up a large mobile bill so he is my Dobby and hand washing pots until my DW gets fixed as it died yesterday.. GGGrrrrr

    WMx2
    TD x1
    Loads of laundry folded and partially put away.. :D

    My kitchen is a swamp, the baby looks set to be a gitbag again today so I get nothing done except sitting and cuddling...
    My bedroom is a pit.. I REALLY need to do some major flinging in there again but the only time I get to do anything is when monsterchops is asleep and she sleeps in there!!

    Best go fill her up some more and hopefully she will go down for a nap earlier than 4pm when I left her to scream yesterday!

    I am on a laundry drive today.. I have loads and loads to get through.. I've been hanging heavy stuff on the line but can't today so this should be fun!

    great news, ubamother!

    Have got out of the habit of checking the forecast and it's been snowing here all morning:cool: I very cleverly(:p) bought 4 cards for the coming week but because I waited for everyone to be in to sign it, the first one is now gonna be late:p

    Glad we had a coal delivery on Thursday - will have to get some milk and stuff in case snow stays - sky looks pretty full up there.

    Started coughing today so hoping I throw it off and a trip for anti-b's isn't needed. Might do the kitchen today. Then again, might not - it's chilly in there...

    Most of lists done.

    Just turffed out of the kitchen 35 plastic carrier bags, all now inside one big one and out inthe garage to be used for carbooting.

    Now going to turf out on of the cupboard, where 'item of interest' live!

    Just sold something on ebay for about £10, when I thought it was worth about .99p if I was lucky!! so even after fees well happy with that, and another 4 items have bids.

    Off to turn washing round as well..

    Still raining.

    Slushy snow all morning so good job I went for a run last night after nearly talking myself out of it

    So today after a long sleep last night I have been shopping, done the ironing - none left! and cleaned the bathroom including washing the shower curtain and mats. Next I think is the bedroom then will see what else for today

    Better have a look for a list
