Did HHI this morning before taking DD to Breakfast club, then off to Tesco, came back and put a load of washing on(ran out of powder till I went to the shops).
Going to run the hoover and duster round, have a quick look at the list, then get on with some college work...........catch you laters xx0 -
Good morning everyone. Brrr, it's cold. Woke up to SNOW!!! I'm going to treat myself and have the heating on while I do todays list. How can a house get so messy during a weekend when we've all been away? It doesn't make sense.0

Good morning everyone :beer:
I've been MIA for the last couple of weeks as my job has been going down the SwaneeI now have a new one to start in Jan; I've moved from debt advice to "Financial Capability", offering preventative advice instead
Hugs all round :A
Off to find a list ..............:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
I'm dressed; bed made; birds fed; washing sorted - towels draped on airer in front of radiator as no way they're going to dry outside, it's sooo cold and damp; put rubbish out; and I've completed the JSA reassessment form ready for tomorrow's visit to the JC..which is quite organised for me
I went into the village to pay CT, and top up DS's phone, but there's a big funeral at the church and nowhere to park, so I'll have to go back later.
And I've learned how to block people on facebook :eek::cool: feel quite sick but it had to be done
Right now I'm going to wash some pots while a pizza warms up for my lunch. (Don't feel sick enough to skip lunch:rotfl:)

Afternoon all
Kitchen/diner done. DD1 has taken my Christmas cards for posting (in return for me staying in for her parcel to be collected). All presents already wrapped. Decorations won't be going up until at least next weekend, and more likely the one after. We'll see. Larder and freezer sorted, shopping being delivered tomorrow morning.
Hope you feel better today LW (haven't finished catching up yet).0
