Penpen it's the opposite here. :rotfl: So far last 2 mornings have had a wee bit of a red sky and it's been lovely spring days.

You're place is a meterological phenomenon - give Michale Fish a call :rotfl::T

ETA: I'll join you, Grateful

Was hoping for a nice easy bedroom day today This moving house malarky is getting to be a pain and I now have until the end of the month in this place and am living around half packed junk. I really struggle at the minute with staying motivated to clean this place, knowing that I'm not going to be in it much longer....must.carry.on!

On a less grumpy note, nappies and baby's bedding are in the wash so will see if it warms up (lovely and sunny but still and frosty out) before considering doing the bedding in our room - don't want to risk not having enough airers if it doesn't all dry on the line. Floors in bedroom cleared, bed airing and washing sorted out for WM later/tomorrow. Cupboards are tidy (they should be, I've packed all bar about 7 days worth of clothes!) and just need to wait for baby to wake up from his nap so I can hoover.

I need to go to the bank and GP for a repeat prescription today so may take baby for a walk while it's nice - maybe even make it to the baby clinic!

Good morning,

I'll join you grateful, sexymouse and PenPen (eta and esio trot), may carry on and do two as I didn't do anything yesterday other than dailies. In my defence I did have to actually go in to work and meet with the accountant and then it was a meeting at school in the evening because I am part of the online reporting focus group and it went on endlessly.

I'll report in afterwards.

Dailies done,

bread baked and cooling,

Vanilla, you have the patience of a saint, I would have gone ballistic and I would have taken my kids out of that school so fast the teachers would have been spinning :mad:

A little techie weather info that might be right:) red sky tells you which direction the weather is coming from, at night it means its coming from the west or south, in the morning it means its coming from the east or north. Where I live, a westerly means nice warm[er] and east means cold and often wet. HTH

Pollybear

Morning all

Bedrooms all done, also dusted and vacuumed through downstairs again. Two loads of washing out on the line, it's dry but cold and a nasty wind.
